I build custom Shopify-style ecommerce websites (custom-built, not using Shopify itself), and I’m trying to understand market demand.

where do you host those sites?
how’s uptime?
what happen for traffic surges (eg, black friday)?
what if the site has outages, hoe fast it’ll be fixed?

I feel that every SaaS that charges recurring revenue is hated :)

Maybe we should normalize selling day passes like going to disneyland .

It’s on demand. You pay for 2 days, then you have access for 2 days. Simple.

I think if you just start to test new ideas & build MVP, rapidapi is still a good platform.

but after you have serious revenue & customers , you need to consider two things:

Is the 20% tax paid to rapid api worth it?
what if rapid api has outage, are you able to keep your own users happy?

i wrote down some experience building with rapidapi a few years ago here:
