Biztack just got its first paying customer today. Someone believed enough to pay for what I built. If you sell anything — products, services, food, fashion — and you want to run your business more professionally, this was built for you. Free to start. Pro is ₦1,888/month. biztack.com.ng

What I built:

Added an email capture pop-up to InvoiceNG and RetailNG — users can now join the waitlist directly from the app. Connected to Google Sheets via Apps Script.

Built and deployed a PWA cache refresh button so users can update the app without clearing storage manually.

Fixed a service worker update issue affecting a specific user.

What I learned:

Direct outreach converts better than broadcasting. I sent 6 personal DMs to business owners in my school group. 100% replied. One set up a RetailNG account the same day and is already using it with real products.

Two independent users asked for partial payment tracking within 48 hours of each other. That's the feature I'm building next into BillNG Pro.

Anonymous users can't be converted. 162 users with no way to reach them taught me to build the email capture earlier.

What's next:

Send 6 minimum direct DMs tomorrow to business owners

Physical shop outreach this week

Build partial payment tracking into BillNG Pro

First paying customer — that's the only metric that matters this week

Numbers:

Total users: 162+

Email captures: 3

Active RetailNG users from outreach: 1

Paying customers: 0 — changing this week

I know it's hard to change the culture people are already use to but bit by bit, the moment they see how the solutions helps them grow, they will adjust to it as the new norms.

I think Biztack will be something great as long as I keep showing up.

Can you Imagine, I got up to 164+ traffic on the first day of Launch.

Check it out and let's me know your thoughts.
