FAQ
Questions, answered plainly
What Sellers Almanac does today, what it is not, and what is still to come, including the answers that are “not yet”.
The product
What is Sellers Almanac?
A record-keeping app for independent resellers. You record purchases, expenses and sales as they happen, add a sale’s missing tax amount later, and see honest totals of what you spent and what customers paid.
Do I have to use every part of it?
No. You’ll use only what you need: mileage on its own, receipts and expenses, or the whole system, all for one price, and you can change your mind later without losing a record. Choosing which tools you see is planned; today’s test build covers the everyday records, and you never have to track item by item.
Can I download it?
Not yet. The founders are testing it on iPhone right now. Join the launch list and we’ll email you when early access opens.
Is it accounting or tax software?
No. It keeps business records that you and your tax preparer can use. It does not file taxes, does not give tax, legal or accounting advice, and is not a general-ledger accounting system.
Does it work without signal?
Yes. Anything recorded without a connection is marked “On this phone only” and stays out of your totals until it’s backed up. Backing up happens while the app is open and has a connection.
Does it calculate my profit?
Not yet. Today it shows what you spent and what customers paid, with sales tax kept apart from sales. Item-level cost and profit depend on inventory, which is planned for a later phase.
Can my business partner use it with me?
Yes. Partners record into the same business from their own phones, and each record’s history shows who made it. It works in the founders’ iPhone test build now.
Which phones will it run on?
The founders are testing on iPhone, and the Android version is being built. Both will be tested on real phones before early access opens.
Does it connect to eBay, Etsy or Poshmark?
Not yet. Marketplace connections are on the roadmap. For now you record sales from anywhere by hand, in a few taps.
Will it fill things in for me?
That’s in development. You’ll be able to describe a record in a sentence or snap a receipt and check what it suggests. Nothing is saved until you say so.
Pricing
How much will it cost?
There will be one price with every feature included, and no Basic, Pro or Premium tiers. The price is not set yet, and it will be published before anyone is asked to pay.
Will there be a free trial?
We haven’t decided yet. Whatever we decide, you’ll see it here before anyone is asked to pay.
Will some features cost extra?
No. Every normal feature and every tracking depth is part of the one price. If there’s a practical limit, like fair use of storage, we’ll tell you up front.
Your data and privacy
Can I take my records with me?
Not yet, but it will be before public launch, so every record can go with you. Import from spreadsheets and other tools is planned too.
Does this website track me?
No. This website sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads nothing from other companies. If we ever add cookieless, privacy-friendly analytics, we’ll update this answer first.
The company
Who is behind Sellers Almanac?
Sellers Almanac comes out of Howdy Honey Vintage and Folklore Antiques, two working resale businesses. It’s built for anyone who buys things to sell again.
