Guides for selling and getting paid.
Plain, practical writing for running a small business. Growing your shop, taking payments, and keeping orders, stock and customers in one place.
What is on the Crate blog?
The Crate blog is where the team building Crate writes down how a small business actually sells online: how to set a shop up, how to price and discount, how payment fees and payouts work, and how to keep orders, stock and customers in one place instead of four. Every guide is written for a business run from a phone as often as from a desk, and every screenshot in one is the real Crate dashboard rather than a mockup. Guides are filed by topic, so a reader who cares only about getting paid can read only that. Nothing here is gated, nothing asks for an email first, and any guide that quotes a price says which market and which currency it is quoting.
No guides published yet
Crate is early, and we would rather publish nothing than pad this page with writing that does not help you sell anything. The first guides are being written now.
What you can do instead is look at the product. Every screenshot on this site is the real dashboard, the trial has every feature in it, and nothing is held back for a higher plan.
