Shoot the piece properly
Several angles, the inside, and something for scale. With two variants to configure, the photographs are the product page.
Bags
Sell bags on the strength of the photograph.
A bag has almost no variants and almost all of its selling is done by the pictures. Put the piece somewhere it can be seen properly, and let a buyer pay from the same place they saw it.

How do I sell bags online?
Photograph each bag properly, because with few variants to configure the images are doing nearly all the selling. List the piece once, add the one or two colorways you actually stock, and state the dimensions and the material where a buyer will look for them. Publish it to your own branded store so the piece sits in your setting rather than in a marketplace grid beside a hundred others. Share the same catalog into social and chat, where most bags are first seen, and take payment in the thread if that is where the buyer is. One stock count sits behind all of it, so a one-off piece cannot be sold twice.
How to start selling bags.
Getting started
Four steps, in order. Each one is a screen you can open on the first day, not a project.
List it with the details
Dimensions, material, what fits inside. Every specific you publish is a message you do not have to answer twice.
Open a store that looks like yours
A theme with your name on it and your own domain, so the piece is presented rather than listed.
Take payment where it is seen
Turn on card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer and share the same product into social and chat. The buyer pays from the thread they were already in.
What is different about selling bags.
What is different here
Every kind of product has a detail that decides whether the software fits. These are the ones that decide it here.
Almost no variants, all photography
There is no size grid to fight. The work moves from configuring a product to presenting it, which is why the store's look matters more here than in most categories.
Often a quantity of one
Handmade and vintage pieces exist once. A shared stock count is what stops the same bag being sold in a message and in the store within the same hour.
The buyer wants the measurements
Height, width, strap drop and what actually fits inside. Those specifics answered on the page are the difference between a sale and a thread.
Your buyers are already in a thread.
Where you sell
Bags are found on a feed. The buyer saves the picture, comes back later, and asks in a message whether it is still available.
In your market that usually means Your store, Instagram and In person.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer.
Getting paid
Take card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer at checkout. Automatic payouts to your bank, so a piece that sells on a Friday is not money you are waiting on all week.
Money from card sales lands in your bank account on a rolling two-day schedule. Nothing to claim, nothing to withdraw.

How it reaches the buyer.
Delivery
A bag is light and awkward, so pack for shape rather than weight and set the shipping rate by zone.
- Set your shipping rates by zone, by weight or as one flat rate, and the checkout works them out for the buyer instead of you quoting in a thread.
- Offer pickup beside delivery. A buyer who is nearby collects, and the order still goes through the same queue and the same stock count.
- Print the order, mark it packed, mark it sent. The buyer gets the update without you writing a message.
- Every order from every channel lands in one queue, so nothing is fulfilled twice and nothing is missed.
What it costs.
One subscription covers the store, the catalog, the order queue, the customer records and the counter. There is no separate charge for selling in chat, and no charge per kind of product.
Priced and paid in US dollars. Every plan opens with a free trial and no card.
What you would actually use.

Selling bags, answered.
Can I sell one-off pieces?
Yes. Set the stock to one and the piece stops being available everywhere the moment it sells, including in a chat thread.
How many photographs can a product have?
Enough to show the piece properly, from several angles, including the inside. For this category that matters more than any other setting.
Can I offer colorways?
Yes. Each colorway is a variant with its own stock and its own images, so a buyer sees exactly what they are getting.
Is my store a marketplace stall?
No. It is your own branded store on your own domain, so the piece sits in your setting and the customer is yours.
Can I take orders from a chat thread?
Yes. Share the product and take payment in the thread. The order arrives in the same queue as a store order.
Can I sell made-to-order pieces?
Yes. Publish the piece with a lead time stated on the page and take the order, or take a deposit and the balance on completion.
