AppStill Works

Small apps for shops
with a counter.
Set them up once.
They still work while your hands are full.

A bakery sets up a standing order once and it is still running eighteen months later. A studio puts its Tuesday class on sale and the roster fills while the wheels are turning. A resale shop tags a coat at the counter, and when it sells, the owner's share is on the books before the bag is folded. App Still Works is one person in Salt Lake City building small apps that do one job, do it properly, and just keep doing it. Three so far, for Shopify, with Clover and Wix next.

Still Works Standing Orders

A Shopify app. Live in the Shopify App Store.

Regular pickup or local-delivery orders on a day of the week you choose: one loaf every Saturday, collected at the counter. You set when orders close, how many you can make, and which days you are shut, and each morning you get one list of what to make and who is coming for it. The app handles the billing, once and never twice. Customers skip a week, pause, or change their day from their own account on your store.

Still Works Class Booking

A Shopify app. Live in the Shopify App Store.

Seats in the classes, workshops, and seminars you teach, sold through your own store. Set a class up once, put dates on it, and the product page shows those dates with seats left. People book through your normal checkout, get a note with where to go and what to bring, and a reminder the day before. You print the roster and check them in at the door. A full date takes names for the waiting list. Bread classes, pottery nights, painting, yoga, a Saturday seminar: anything with a date and a seat.

Still Works Consignment

A Shopify app. Live in the Shopify App Store.

For resale and consignment shops that sell other people's things. Take an item in at the counter and it goes on your store with its owner's number on it. When it sells, the owner's share goes on their account at the split you agreed, and a refund takes it back. Prices come down on your schedule, items reaching their end date come up on a list, and you pay out in cash or store credit. Each consignor gets a page showing what sold and what they are owed, so the phone rings less. Clothing, furniture, books, gear: anything someone else owns and you sell.

Shop owner guides

Plain, step-by-step guides for the jobs that eat an evening, each showing how to do it in plain Shopify first: how to pay consignors from Shopify, selling seats in your classes, standing orders for a bakery, and coffee subscriptions with local pickup. Newer ones: how to stop selling past class dates, a cutoff for local delivery, and a consignment markdown schedule. All 19 are on the guides page.

About the studio

App Still Works is one person, Jon Barney, in Salt Lake City, Utah. The person who answers your support email is the person who wrote the app, the same business day, Mountain Time. Every app is built for shops that still work on their own terms: small, one job each, and your data left where your store already keeps it instead of copied somewhere new. The privacy policy and terms are short and written to be read.
