Store is the shop's online shop. A paint's options, such as Colour and Size, make each combination an item. Each has its own price and stock. Open stock sells by the tube, and paper by the sheet or the pad.
A college's foundation kit sells as a bundle of products you already stock. A sale at the counter is recorded as an order.
Each item has a reorder point. When a colour falls to it, you get an email. The Stock page lists what is low. A purchase order to the supplier fills itself with the low items.
Receiving the delivery adds the stock at its cost and makes the supplier's bill. Stock can be kept in the shop and a stockroom, and moved between them.
A school's art department is a wholesale customer with its own price list. Its teacher signs in to Magpie and sees the trade prices and minimums. At checkout they choose Pay by invoice, and no card is needed.
The invoice is sent from Invoicing, due on the school's terms, with a Pay online button. You can ship the order before it is paid. The invoice does not count toward your plan's monthly limit.
Calendar gives the shop a public calendar of its evenings. You turn on RSVPs and set a capacity. The event's page says when it is full. People RSVP while signed in to Magpie.
The page can show how many people are going. Sharing an event starts a social media post about it.
Forms builds a framing request page. It asks for the piece's size, the moulding and the mount. A File question takes a photo of the work. Each request is emailed to you.
A paid Form takes a workshop's fee by card on Stripe's page. Each response shows Paid, and you close the Form when the seats are gone.
Newsletter gives the shop a sign-up page with double opt-in. Checkout can ask buyers to subscribe too. You write each issue, send yourself a test and schedule it.
A sent issue has a web copy, which can start a social media post. The newsletter's page counts the subscribers and the copies delivered.
Each step starts from what the last one made.
A purchase order to the supplier is received, and each colour's stock goes up.
The new range goes live in the online shop, by colour and size.
The newsletter tells subscribers, and a post goes out with the photos.
The brand's demo day goes on the calendar, with RSVPs up to the room's seats.
The art department orders the term's kits at its trade price, on invoice.
The sales, the invoice and the supplier's bill are in the books.

Yes. A paint has options, such as Colour and Size, and each combination is an item. Each item has its own price, stock, SKU and barcode. A series can have its own price, so cadmium costs more than ochre.

Yes. A product's page shows each colour's availability. The shop can be filtered to what is in stock. An item with counted stock stops selling at zero. You can let it sell on back order instead.

Yes. A gift card sells fixed amounts and, if you choose, a custom amount. The buyer can have it emailed to someone on a date they pick. The holder spends it in your online shop.
Yes. A QR code opens any address: the product's page, or a video of the technique. A dynamic code can be pointed somewhere else later, so the printed label stays.
