1. Is StoreMan available for download?- Top

No, we do not offer a downloadable version at this time. We have found that it is too error-prone and in the end, less time efficient.


2. How soon will I get my copy of StoreMan?- Top

Once we receive payment, we generally ship the next day, if not the same day. Within the United States, delivery has been averaging 3-4 days. Outside the United States, it has been averaging 5-7 days.


3. Can you ship overnight?- Top

Yes, you can select Expedited shipping and have your order sent out either overnight or next-day. (The method depends on when the order is receieved.) However, since USPS takes, on average, three days and is free--and Expedited shipping can still take a day or two and costs $20.00 to $30.00, we humbly suggest you save your money and use the extra day to become more familiar with StoreMan through use of its Demo.


4. I need to switch from Merchant 3 to Merchant 4. How do I do this?- Top

You need to upgrade (actually trade-in) your StoreMan3 copy for a StoreMan4 model.

Trade-in costs can be found in our store.


5. What if I order StoreMan and it doesn't work on my system?- Top

We are committed to helping you setup StoreMan correctly on your system. We do offer a 30 day guarantee, so if we (you and our support staff) are not able to get it working properly with a good faith effort, you can return it and we will refund your purchase price.


6. What OS does StoreMan support?- Top

StoreMan has been extensively tested on these versions of Microsoft Windows:

Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT4, Windows ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. However, as computer configuration can affect how or whether an application works, we suggest you install and run the Demo. If the Demo works, so will the retail version of the product.


7. Are you going to offer a Mac/Linux/BeOS/Java/Amiga version of StoreMan?- Top

The short answer is no.

The longer answer is, since StoreMan is a Microsoft Access 97 and VBA based application, and Access is only available for the Windows platform, that platform is the only one we can offer for StoreMan.


8. What PC configuration do you recommend for use with StoreMan?- Top

We recommend a minimum Pentium II 350 MHz PC, with 500MHz or more being significantly better.

You can get by with as little as 32MB of RAM, but if you have a large amount of products, 128 is more realistic. (This also depends on the OS - NT or Windows 2000 need a LOT more RAM than 95 or 98.)

Video size should be 800 x 600 at 16-bit color, but you will be more productive with 1024 x 768 and 24-bit color.

Hard disk space is not a big issue - just make sure you have 20 MB for the StoreMan installation and at least 20 MB for your Merchant store files (or more depending on the size and complexity of your store). - Updated: March 3, 2001
