Questions

For corner stores.

My shop is small. Is it worth it?

Yes. A photo of what just came in and a post when your hours change are often all a corner shop needs. ShelfSocial does both from your phone in a few taps.

I sell beer and wine. Is there a line for that?

There is a Beer and wine category. The "Please enjoy responsibly." caption line is available and starts switched off, so you can turn it on.

Same app for every shop, so the steps and the pricing do not change. See pricing
