CARICOM · JM · JMD
The JMD floats. A rate captured when the page rendered is not the rate that settles, and the gap between those two numbers is where the invoice argument starts.
Not decoration. Every one of them is a field in something we have shipped.

Money in Jamaica. The JMD floats against the US dollar. That is the case that punishes a product built on a pegged island and then shipped here: a rate captured when the page was rendered is not the rate at settlement.
We quote at settlement, store integer minor units with an explicit currency, and never carry a converted figure forward as if it were the original. Pricing in JMD and reporting in US dollars is a conversion with a timestamp, not a constant.
Four lines, one studio. The same stack builds all of them, which is why the hardware and the app talk to each other.

For new and young businesses: a managed domain-and-site lease where we handle everything, or a custom launch on a domain you already own, built and handed over with the keys.
Starter LabGreat-circle distances from Kingston, computed rather than guessed. A business in Jamaica usually sells into these before it sells anywhere else.
