Facebook page comments are one of the most important ways users engage with brands on the social network, but San Francisco-based startup Soldsie introduced another use for comments — as a point of sale.
Soldsie — which has been operating in stealth mode since May, under the name Central.ly — already has more than 2,000 registered users, who have processed over $750,000 in transactions through the platform.
The startup has raised some $270,000, with investors including Dave McClure, Justin Kitch, and small business web-hosting service Jimdo.
How does it work? Brands post their items, with pictures, on their pages via Soldsie, and interested Facebook users can comment “Sold!” and check out securely via PayPal.
