I run The Ink Crypt, and like a lot of small business owners, I've dealt firsthand with the headache of managing trade credit with other merchants — tracking who owes what, when it's due, and keeping it all straight without a spreadsheet held together with tape. So I built TradeStack: a Shopify app that gives small merchants a simple, reliable way to manage trade credit relationships, right inside the platform they already use.

TradeStack is built, tested, and ready to go live on the Shopify App Store — but getting there requires a $19 one-time App Store registration fee plus ongoing hosting costs to keep the app running reliably for the merchants who'll depend on it. As a solo small business owner funding this out of pocket, every bit of support helps get TradeStack across the finish line and into the hands of other shop owners facing the same problem I did.

If you've ever run a small business and know the pain of managing credit by hand, I'd be grateful for your support in getting this tool out into the world.
