We are students but we also sell on campus as well..so we wanted to have a platform that will cover all our sales but then the buyers(other students ) will have to come to this platform to make the purchases…we want to be able to track our sales get insight when we transfer the data to excel for the various insights to be work out there.. we would also like to connect to some APIs so the transactions can all be done on it. So far the maker plan seems great for this .. Can we get other views tho? ---

Hi Asamoah, sounds like a solid idea 👍. The Maker plan should cover what you need right now, sales tracking, exports to Excel, and basic integrations. If you ever outgrow it or need heavier API use, you can always move up to Team. Keep your orders in one table, link them to products and buyers, and you’ll be able to get clear insights fast. Let us know how it goes. We’re happy to share more if you get stuck. ---

The transactions will be done on the platform tho and everything will be automatic so it wont be that, we are the ones uploading the our sales record and stuff..do you get me? And for the transactions the appropriate interagations will be used ---

We have Free - Explorer - Maker - Business - Enterprise. > [@Asamoah\_louis9](#): > > We are students but we also sell on campus as well..so we wanted to have a platform that will cover all our sales but then the buyers(other students ) will have to come to this platform to make the purchases…we want to be able to track our sales get insight when we transfer the data to excel for the various insights to be work out there.. we would also like to connect to some APIs so the transactions can all be done on it. For OP’s question, make sure you understand the limits of Maker: - Only consumer email domains can be used (e.g: [gmail.com](http://gmail.com), [yahoo.com](http://yahoo.com) or education domains). - 500 updates per billing cycle, each additional one cost 2 cents. - Consider how you would connect with your APIs, because a standard Call API action isn’t available on Maker, it starts from Business. ---
