Launch HN: Corrily (YC W21) – Price Optimization for SaaS
Seems like an interesting and potentially quite valuable service, writing as someone who already has one business doing online sales and is currently working on a new one that also will.<p>If you’re looking for feedback, my immediate question would be how Corrily handles the issue of sales tax&#x2F;VAT. This has become a big hassle particularly for B2C merchants already in places like the EU but increasingly around the world as governments decide they want their piece of the online sales pie.<p>This might be relevant to a service like Corrily for two reasons. Firstly, as an anecdotal data point, we are only really interested in using payment services that handle the tax collection, remittance and reporting transparently at the moment. It looks like that would make it impossible for us to ever use Corrily since Stripe doesn’t currently offer that functionality.<p>Secondly, for a business that is starting to grow into international markets and starting to take issues like local purchasing power into account in its pricing model, there are going to be zones where the local tax rules mean the highest gross price isn’t necessarily going to yield the highest net revenues. Maybe these windows are too short to be of interest to your target market or to be worth the effort to take them into account in your models, but instinctively it feels like the kind of technicalities that a service like Corrily ought to get right if the whole point is to identify and maintain optimal pricing for each local market.
