This started out as a very basic utility to help me keep track of sales from my Renderosity Store, without having to bother with a spreadsheet or full accounting package. All it does is to store upto 50 product names and prices then automatically calculates the totals for you, based on the number of sales you select. A handy time-saver.
I decided to add a few additional features and release it as freeware, so that other merchants could make use of it if they wanted. It won't suit everyone though but it's a good place to start if you have a small selection of products for sale and don't have any experience with accounting software!
There is now a "Transfer Page" added so that you can copy the current running total to a "month" box, plus it automatically compiles a plain text file report containing the number of sales from each product, price details, and total amounts made during that month. You can view the reports for each month at any time plus copy the text to clipboard, etc.
The "Settings Page" allows you to modify colors for a selection of the interface controls, so you can set them to your own preferences. You can also change the text in the program's titlebar and choose from 3 currency display formats (Dollars, Pounds and Euros).
The program is not quite finished yet but I hope to have a new beta released in the next few days for you to try out. If anyone has any suggestions for other features they'd like to see incorporated then please feel free to let me know. I can't promise I'll be able to include them all as I'm not much of a programmer, but I'll do my best anyway!
