For founders selling in two or more places
One day in a business that sells in more than one place, hour by hour.
Wildgrove Provisions makes smoked syrups, salts and preserves. It sells on Amazon and on its own Shopify site, and adds the sales it invoices to shops in a line. This is a day of it in Still.
An example day. The hours are illustrative; every figure is the demo business's own, as it stood on 16 Jul 2026.

The website's order file goes in. Eight payouts, $6,340.
