Questions

Can I cost the same shoe in different sizes?

Yes. Each size can be a variant that uses a different amount of leather, so a size 46 is priced differently from a size 38.

Can I price bags and belts too?

Yes. Set each item up as its own product with its own materials and hours, so every piece is priced to cover its cost.

Can I take orders from Instagram and WhatsApp?

Yes. WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and Gmail come into one inbox, and you create the order from the chat in a few taps.
