Guess I should’ve expected such a quality response to my factual and detailed comment. But I’ll bite.
0% you say? What about the overhead of hosting the site? The cost to develop it? Drive traffic to it? Credit card processing fees? Managing fraud on payments? Etc etc.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. If you prefer one avenue’s cost basis over another’s, feel free to use it. But don’t make bogus claims to justify your choice.
Hosting a static bag of bytes (e.g. a mobile app) costs nearly nothing. Just the cost of apple developer program (99$/year) would cover a huge amount of downloads.
> The cost to develop it?
Those are the same when developing an iOS app, except that with the web you would be able to target a much bigger market... if Safari was not actively slowing down the web.
> Drive traffic to it?
Breaking news, you also have to drive traffic to your app.
> Credit card processing fees? Managing fraud on payments?
Other people mentioned 2.9% on stripe. And if you are feeling adventurous, nothing spots you from creating your own payment system.
