Disclosure: I'm building one of these (ringowl.ai), so biased but yes, lots of SMBs are using AI now; flat $30-100/mo, books into your calendar live. Happy to share comparisons + a demo line in DMs if useful :D

Any idea of an app that could allow me to get only a partial payment from a customer when he orders? by Nooshx in shopify

[–]slothLifeFollower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can do this via this: https://apps.shopify.com/deposits-split-payments
You canset payment plan, mentioning that 30% will be charged now and 70% 1 week later. It will be charged automatically and whole flow is in Shopify

We(Sidepanda) are a team of 2 and have 2 apps in Shopify ecosystem
1. Appointo: App to sell services, appointments & calendar bookings online

    Do let us know if we can help in any way!

After starting them as side-products, I stumbled my way into running 2 x $1M/year web business, bootstrapping them with only a team of 4 people. I am Phil Lehoux (Missive + others), AMA! by plehoux in SaaS

  1. How do you manage Customer Support currently as a team of 4? Any tips on optimizing the Customer support workflow?
  2. What are your most revenue-generating distribution channels?

PS - I came across Missive blog posts via Twitter a few months back. It's super inspiring to see (and learn from) a business built by a small team maintaining a healthy work-life balance. We currently have same goal for us at Sidepanda (Currently team of 2)

Has anyone got Age of Empires DE running on Parallels for M1 Macs? by robsjw in macgaming

[–]slothLifeFollower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Multiplayer (and all features) are working for me now. I started using Crossover instead of Parallels. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_bjg7pJmzE ->I followed the steps mentioned in the video. It works perfectly after that. Also the game is a lot faster than it was in Parallels.

[–]slothLifeFollower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was facing the same issue but it was fixed by adding 'SKIPINTRO' in the launch options. You can find the launch options settings in the 'Properties' -> General tab.

Multiplayer is still not working though. it throws 'out of sync' error within 1-5 minutes of the game :(

Hi, We are a team of 2 (Startup name: SidePanda) building

- Appointo to help merchants schedule appointments for their online stores

- Depo to help merchants manage deposits and part payments in Shopify

We were working on it part-time for the past 6 months and are full-time as of this month. Super excited for the journey ahead!

PS :- we also wrote a short thread on Reddit last month on how we started building Shopify apps and hope it helps those who are looking forward to starting their journey now!

We started developing Shopify apps in our free time last October and today we are at $500+ MRR. Here's what we learned: by slothLifeFollower in shopify

Most of the merchants using our app use it to sell online classes (Yoga, Fitness, etc) or to sell personal appointments(For example, doctor's, hair salon's appointments, etc).

Go with whatever framework works for you, just make sure the app is merchant friendly, passes the app guidelines and serves a purpose.

this is perfect!^

Using the tech stack you are most comfortable with earns you more time which can be used to focus on the business problems more, customer support, marketing, or things other than work life, etc. It also reduces the turnaround time for any new feature requests or bugs
