How ShopOnslow Works

The public side can grow now without committing to an admin system too early.

1

Start with selected merchants

Add real local businesses, offers and events directly to the arrays at the top of this file.

2

Learn what customers use

Watch which categories, stories and offers create the most interest before designing the database.

3

Build administration later

Once the needed fields are obvious, the static values can be moved into a merchant database and approval workflow.
