Open your shop and take your first order

Broidry gives you two things: a shop page your customers order from, and the back office that runs everything behind it. This guide walks you from a new account to a link you can paste anywhere.

Set up your shop

1. 1Create your account and choose I'm an embroiderer. Broidry opens your dashboard.
2. 2On the Today page, tap Start the setup. On the setup page, type a sentence or two about your shop in your own words, the way you would describe it to a friend. Broidry drafts your shop name, your welcome text, and a few starter products from what you wrote.
3. 3Review each drafted section and tap apply on the ones you like. Nothing is saved until you approve it, and you can edit every word.
4. 4Open Products and check the starter products. Add real photos when you have them. A product without a photo still works, but products with photos get ordered far more often.

Share your link

1. 1On the Today page, find the shop link box and tap Copy link.
2. 2Paste that link anywhere your customers already talk to you: a Facebook comment, an Instagram bio, a text message, or an Etsy message.
3. 3When someone opens it, they browse your products, personalize their piece, and submit an order with every detail filled in. The order appears on your Orders page.

What to read next

If you have never sold anything yet, meaning no customers, no prices, and no idea what to charge, read the guide called Your first sale, from zero. It walks through setting up one product, pricing it honestly, and placing a practice order on yourself so you see the whole thing work.

If customers already message you on Facebook, Instagram, or text, read the guide called Turn a pasted message into an order. It shows how a conversation becomes an order without retyping anything.

When you are ready to show a customer their design before stitching, read The Mockup Studio, start to finish.
