Thank you for the invite! I own HeartSong Recovery, an online retail specialty store. I also sell at private events. My business started out in 2006 as a brick and mortar metaphysical bookstore. HeartSong later morphed into a "traveling recovery store" supplying merchandise for events. This led to an online presence with Square and Ebay, which continues to the present day. Some products I make, some I resell. I look forward to learning more and growing more successful in my business.

Again, Thank You!

Hi everyone! Happy to be part of this new group!

My name is Emily and I run The Violet Fox Bookshop. I'm based in Virginia Beach, VA, but the bookshop is online so we ship books all over the country.  We're making baby steps towards transitioning to a physical brick & mortar space, which is equal parts stressful and exciting!  We occasionally do pop-ups and events in the area as well. We stock mostly second-hand books, but also carry local authors books on consignment, can special order new books for our customers, and have recently joined Bookshop.org's affiliate program. We're trying a little of everything these days so very much looking forward to learning from you all here and sharing ideas! 🙂

Hello..Ive created a second website for my location..as an online only seller of a separate brand.  How do I direct the sales through this site...only have those items for that site on that site and...have the receipts etc reflect that brand.  

My two sites are Issaquah Coffee and Grand Champion.  I dont want Issaquah logo's to print on Grand Champion receipts.  And, dont need all the items from issaquah to be available on the Grand Champion site.  I want them separate.

Also...subscriptions.  I have created individual monthly or bi weekly subscriptions.  I dont know how to allow a customer to change the quantity, add notes, add ship to, or, add link at the top in the directory to the Subscriptions.

Thanks..Mike

Hello Community Members! Jessica here, from VA. I am a passionate advocate of continuous learning, personal growth, being of service to others, creativity, curiosity, and adventure!

I immensely enjoy reading, learning about technology/blockchain, writing, research, and analysis - you know, the typical nerdy stuff. Gardening, music, enjoying nature, and creating art, are some of my favorite pastimes.

I joined the Community to listen and learn from others; and to share my thoughts, experiences, and pain points.

I am looking forward to engaging & networking with this Community!

I appreciate the opportunity.

Best,

Hi All - my husband and I own Soldier58.com.  We sell vintage, antique, model home, and estate furniture, home decor, and art.  We've had our website for years but we just closed our brick & mortar shop to focus entirely on our online business.  I'm thrilled that AfterPay will soon be available to us but I'm interested in knowing if anyone else sells large items like furniture online and how you handle shipping/freight for these items.  Currently it's up to the buyer to arrange their own shipping, which isn't ideal.  I'd like to know what others are doing.  ~ Johanna

Hi!  I'm Linda, my husband and I own Specialties Games, Toys, Gifts in San Angelo, TX.  We have a shop that's about half specialty toy and half hobby gaming.  We've used Square for off-site processing for years, and moved to Square for Retail in late 2019.  Our website is www.specialtiesgames.com and our social handle is @specialtiesgames on FB, Insta (and occasionally TikTok and YouTube).  Glad to be here!

Welcome, Linda.

Great to see a fellow Friendly Local Game Store owner on here!

Hi @specialtiesgame 

I love your website. The colors make the site look bright and fun! 

The Shop By Age and Quick Gift Finder are extremely useful. Very cool!

[specialtiesgame]

Thanks!  I tried to make it as similar as possible to how people shop in our store.  The most common request is "I need a gift for a __ year old"

[willtheengraver]

I have gone the other way. I just closed my brick and mortar, and will be concentrating on my online with a few shows thrown in... but I am 73, so am slowing down anyway.

Good luck.

Hi, my name is Joyce. I own a small retail bricknmortar metaphysical shop. I have been in business over 7 years. Recently many other shops like mine have opened in the area, and with economic downturns I am struggling hard. I also recently retired from working a "real" job and social security is definately not what you think. lol. I am happy though to have made it this far and I sure hope I have my shop for at least another 7 years!
