Store is the shop's online shop. Tumbled stones can be one product, with Stone and Size as its options. Each stone in each size has its own price and stock. Candles and dried herbs sell by size the same way.
A sale at the counter is recorded as an order, and takes from the same stock. When a stone falls to its reorder point, you will get an email.
A one-of-a-kind piece is a product with a stock of one and its own photos. Specifications describe it, such as Era: Victorian or Material: brass. Once it sells, online or at the counter, its page shows Sold out.
A collection can gather every curiosity by a rule. A new piece joins it as you add it. A live piece's page can start a social media post with its photos.
Appointments gives the shop a booking page for its readings. A 30-minute tarot reading and a birth chart reading each have a length and price. Customers choose the reading, then a reader by name or Anyone available.
They book without signing up first, with a name and an email address. The confirmation email lets them move or cancel until the notice you set. The booking page shows each price, and the customer pays at the shop.
Each reader has their own weekly hours, such as Thursday evenings and weekends. Each reading names the readers who offer it. A time is offered only when that reader's hours and calendar leave it free.
A reading can need the reading room. Magpie offers a time only while the room is free, and each booking reserves it. Each reading also goes on its reader's calendar, named after the customer.
Calendar gives the shop a public calendar of its evenings. You turn on RSVPs and set a capacity, such as twelve cushions in the back room. The event's page says when it is full.
People RSVP while signed in to Magpie, and can change their answer. Each date is its own event, such as each month's full moon circle. Sharing an event starts a social media post about it.
Forms builds the fair's vendor application. It asks what each vendor offers and the table they need. A File question takes a photo of their table. Each application is emailed to you and kept in one list.
You mark each one Reviewed or Archived, and close the Form when the tables are gone. A paid Form takes a tarot class's fee by card. Each response shows Paid.
Newsletter gives the shop a sign-up page, and each subscriber confirms by email. Checkout can ask online buyers to subscribe too. You write each issue, send yourself a test and schedule it.
One issue can carry the new decks, the next full moon circle and the fair's date. Its web copy can start a social media post.
