Your Western Decor Cuts Cash Flow Delays and Reclaims Hours with Shopify Balance

Your Western Decor Streamlines Finances with Shopify Balance

Randee McKague founded Your Western Decor in 2009 to bring custom western-style furniture to homes and offices. For years, orders and interior design fees poured into a traditional bank account. That setup worked at first, but when she left her previous business in 2016 to run this full time, volume climbed quickly—and the three-day wait for payouts began to slow growth.

The Challenge: Fragmented Cash Flow

Early on, Randee watched her balance tick up online then sit for days before clearing in her bank. Meanwhile, vendors called for payment on a limited-stock chair or table. She often used a credit card to secure the item, then spent hours reconciling the charge across multiple accounts. That juggling act ate up time and introduced errors into bookkeeping.

The Solution: Shopify Balance

To solve those hold-ups, Randee activated Shopify Balance, the built-in finance account on her store. Payouts began arriving in hours instead of days, so she could order new stock before it sold out. The Balance Visa® spending card let her tap directly into her Shopify funds for every vendor charge, all visible in one dashboard.

Integration and Workflow

Next, she connected Balance to QuickBooks, so payroll and tax figures flow in without extra imports. For suppliers that don’t take cards, Shopify Bill Pay handles digital check runs. No more paper checks or manual logging—each outgoing payment and incoming sale lives side by side.

Results and Impact

Within weeks of adopting Balance, Your Western Decor:

• Accessed sales revenue within hours rather than waiting up to three days
• Saved roughly eight hours per month on account tracking and reconciliation
• Consolidated vendor and bill payments into one account, even for non-card vendors

Faster funds meant Randee could say “yes” to bigger orders without double-checking bank details. By shaving off administrative overhead, she freed time to focus on client design projects and marketing new collections. Cashback from Balance’s card helped cover office supplies and ads—so every dollar spent earned a little back.

Moving Forward

Today Randee and her daughter Hayden keep expanding the business, offering commercial fit-outs alongside residential makeovers. With finances centralized on Shopify, they can see the full picture of revenue, expenses, and cash reserves in one view. That clarity gives them confidence to chase new opportunities.
