Overview

<p><b>Startup Description</b></p><p>A production-grade eSIM e-commerce platform with 18,000+ lines of custom TypeScript. This is 250+ hours of full-stack engineering — automated fulfillment, off-session Stripe charging, crypto payments, a tiered pricing engine, affiliate system with eSIMDB integration, and a full admin dashboard with P&amp;L analytics.</p><p>The business is generating revenue with $0 in marketing spend. All traffic comes from affiliate partnerships (commission on sale only). The buyer gets a working business on day one with massive untapped growth channels.</p><p><b>Key Features:</b></p><ul> <li>175+ countries: Global, regional, and local eSIM plans. Provider works on pay-as-you-go — no upfront costs, no contracts, no lock-in.</li> <li>Auto top-up with saved cards: Off-session Stripe charging when data runs low. Recurring revenue without re-acquisition. Cooldown limits, price caps, and failure handling built in.</li> <li>Instant fulfillment: eSIM delivered via email in under 10 seconds — QR code, one-tap install links for iOS/Android, network settings, and setup instructions.</li> <li>Tiered pricing engine: Automatically calculates margin by cost tier (28–65%), absorbs Stripe fees, rounds to psychological price points (.49/.99). When provider prices change, your prices update automatically.</li> <li>Crypto payments: Full NOWPayments integration, Accept Bitcoin and 100+ cryptocurrencies.</li> <li>Affiliate system: Built-in partner dashboard with stats, referral tracking, automatic commission calculation. Already integrated with few eSIM comparasion sites.</li> <li>Admin panel: Live P&amp;L dashboard (revenue, COGS, Stripe fees, commissions, net profit), order search across all fields, eSIM gifting, refund processing, partner management, manual top-up trigger.</li> <li>11 transactional emails: Order confirmation, activation notification, low data alert, top-up success/failure, review invite (5 days post-activation), password reset, and more.</li> <li>SEO optimized: Server-side rendered, programmatic sitemap for 80+ countries and 9 regions, JSON-LD schema markup (Product, FAQ, Breadcrumbs, Organization), bot-aware URL middleware, llms.txt for AI search visibility.</li> <li>Guest checkout: No account required.

Annual Revenue

Number of Customers

Expenses

Domain $12/year. $10 a month hosting; all other services (PostHog, email sending) are Pay-to-go; I haven't spent a dollar on them.

Business Model

Tiered margin pricing engine - automatically marks up provider cost by 28-65% based on plan price tier, absorbs Stripe fees, and rounds to psychological price points. Revenue from one-time eSIM purchases and top-ups.

Target Audience

International travelers, digital nomads, remote workers, and business travelers who need mobile data abroad. Secondary: travel bloggers and content creators as affiliate partners.

Asking Price Reasoning

250+ hours of production engineering at $50/hr = $12,500 rebuild cost. Discounted to $4,800 as a working business with existing revenue, customers, Trustpilot reviews, and built-in distribution via eSIMDB partnership. Buyer skips months of development.

Reason for Selling

Focusing on university studies and need to prioritize school commitments. The project is fully automated and profitable — I just don't have the time to scale it with marketing and partnerships. Looking for a buyer who can take it to the next level.

Growth Opportunity

All current revenue comes from $0 marketing spend. Untapped channels: Google/Meta paid ads (travel products convert well), expanding affiliate program to travel YouTubers and bloggers, SEO content marketing (site is already optimized and ranking).
