For builders
Built something for your own trade?
Most of the useful software in a trade is written by somebody already in it, for themselves, and never goes any further. The plan is to let you sell it here — you bring the tool, I run it and sell it, and your customers just open a web page.
That half is not built yet, and there is nothing to sign up to today. Leave your name and I will come to you first when it opens — the early ones get a say in how it actually works.
How it will work
You keep 85%.
Fifteen percent covers the card fees, the servers your tool runs on and the shop it sits in. It is more than a plain download page charges, and that is because a download page does not run anything for you — see the next one.
I run it, so you do not.
Your tool lives on my servers. It gets its own address, its own certificate and its own backups, and when something falls over at seven on a Sunday morning it is my phone that goes. You do not need a hosting account, a domain, or to know what any of that means.
Your customers just open a web page.
There is nothing for them to download and nothing to install, so it works on a laptop, a phone in the cab or the tablet on the counter. And when you fix something, the fix is live for everybody the next time they open it — there is no version anybody is stuck on.
The money comes through me, and it is held for 30 days.
I am the one the buyer pays and the one their bank comes to if they dispute it — which can be weeks after the sale. So your share is held for 30 days before it is paid out, and a dispute comes out of that rather than out of my pocket. After 30 days it is yours.
It has to be for somebody specific, and priced like it.
Not a note-taking app. The tools here answer one awkward question for one trade. There is a $20 floor, because card fees are a flat 30 cents a sale and below that neither of us is making enough to answer an email about it.
Mine carry a mark. Yours will not, and that is not a judgement.
Anything with the JTS mark on it is one I built and stand behind. A tool somebody else wrote is listed plainly under their own name, so nobody can mistake one for the other — in either direction.
