@Madchatthew These are all smart moves, and it certainly looks like you’re headed in the right direction. Best of luck and I really hope this venture succeeds. It’s a niche market but has huge potential once word spreads around.
Building out the basic framework also makes sense before you take the plunge and invest heavier, which I myself would only do once the business starts to turn profit.
@Madchatthew This is really inspiring! Keep it up! There is life after Windows…
@Madchatthew Those credentials are hard to argue!
At some point, most environments stop having purely technical issues.
They start having ownership issues.
On the surface, everything can look fine:
From an engineering perspective, nothing is obviously broken.
Systems run. Changes get deployed. Issues get fixed.
But there is a different question that tends to get overlooked:
When a decision creates exposure, who actually owns that outcome?
Who is accountable if that decision is challenged later.
That is where things usually become unclear.
Decisions are being made every day across infrastructure, security, vendors, and delivery.
But ownership is often:
It works until it is tested.
And it does get tested, usually by something external:
At that point, the discussion shifts.
It is no longer about how something works.
It becomes:
“Who approved this, and why was that decision considered acceptable at the time?”
That is the part many environments are less clear on than they expect.
@Madchatthew And let this be a testament to anyone else looking to transition out from Windows to Linux. It’s perfectly possible with some minor changes to how you use a computer 
@DownPW Looks ok for the most part, but this looks like it’s truncated?

can you have add-ons that people can check that will only show up when they choose a specific product?
I think you can do this in WooCommerce, but not entirely sure to be honest.
Can you also have a terms and conditions popup before they check out and if they don’t check it it won’t let them checkout but will let them save their cart?
Yes, I think this is a WooCommerce setting.
You could also get creative with some JS to provide the functionality you are looking for.
@Madchatthew One time fee, yes. You can purchase annual support, but I’ve never needed to.
@Madchatthew Hey Chad. The website looks fantastic - so well laid out and a breeze to navigate. Out of curiosity, why did you choose to use a Gmail account to send mail from rather than the domain itself? In addition, one theme (which I use over at https://phenomlab.com) that I know for sure has WooCommerce built in (it is in fact a bundled plugin) is Impreza

The theme itself is $59.
@DownPW yes, I’ve noticed similar and it is to do with the cache because it is stored in memory and not on disk…
However, when I wrote the code, I did allow for a maximum cache age so I’m puzzled as to why this isn’t being honoured.
A review of the code is long overdue to be honest, but it’s slipped down the priority list. The fastest way to resolve this in the short term is to perform a daily restart of the service which will flush the cache.
