Hello all shop owners,
I am a proud member of Miner's Mafia. Since some time we have our own society shop. One of our members bought a shop and was kind enough to let us all use it. One person is managing this shop.
As you might know, letting more people use one shop, needs some administration. There are a lot of people that have stuff inside the shop for sale.
First it was attempted to keep track of all sales in an excell spread sheet. But because it was growing every day, it got more difficult. Our total turnover of the shop is already over 100k peds. With that kind of cash flow, it is really important to know what PED's has which owner.
So i decided to start coding on an online shop manager system. Where it would be more easy to keep track of the items sold, and the peds earned by it. The system uses different status for every object being sold: "item received", "item put in shop", "item sold", "peds reserved for seller", "seller payed" or "item removed from shop". Every item that gets sold in shop, goes trough some of these states. The person operating the Shop Manager supplies all the data needed.
This online application works prety well. As far as I know the Miner's Mafia Society Shop Manager is pretty content with it. Also I have already received some positive responses from others who tried out this application.
So I was thinking maybe there are other shops who sell stuff from multiple avatars. And maybe they can benefit from this application.
Also shop owners that sell only their own stuff can use the manager, if they want their inventory to be shown online, and want to keep track of the markup their stuff sells for.
But in the first place it is designed for multiple user shops.
Also you can manage more than one shop in one shop manager! The fee of items is calculated automatically. The % of fee is adjustable for each shop in the shop manager.
Here are some of the features of the Shop Manager:
This is the main window the manager of a shop uses:
All information is summerized in an inventory list available for the public. So every shopper can see what is in stock, even without logging in. Also this public inventory list shows the prices and calculates the markup:
Here is the inventory of our society shop (up to date)
Furthermore there is a summery of all sellers using the shop, with totals of peds that needs to be payed or reserved:
A summery of items that have been sold over a year/month/week period. Including mean markup values and the time the item has spend inside the shop:
A log of all important events that happened with an item (put in shop/sold/seller payed):
Also every user of the shop can log in to check his own items in the shop, without having to log in into Entropia Universe and walk to the shop itself.
Parses
There are also other sites where you might want to show your inventory. For this, there is also a "parse" available for other sites. You can easily copy and paste the whole inventory, so it will on the other site in the right layout.
So far there are parses available for:
- Entropia Directory
- Entropia Forum (example)
How to get it
I can install a copy of the shopmanager on my own server. You can access it with the adress and the login info I can give you. After that you can start trying out the shopmanager.
So if you wanna try this application, you can contact me by PM on this forum.
