If you've run a small business, you know the headache: another shop wants to trade credit, and suddenly you're tracking who owes what on a spreadsheet held together with tape. That's exactly the problem I ran into at The Ink Crypt, and it's why 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. The only thing standing between it and the Shopify App Store is the registration fee plus the ongoing hosting costs to keep it running for the merchants who'll depend on it. As a solo small business owner funding this myself, I'm turning to the community that's supported The Ink Crypt from the start.
Around September 1st, we're launching a GoFundMe to help get TradeStack across the finish line. Every dollar goes toward app fees and hosting — nothing more.
If you've ever managed credit by hand and know the pain, or if you just want to see another small business owner's tool make it into the world, keep an eye out for the campaign. Here's the link:

Thanks for reading — and thanks, as always, for supporting small businesses.
