Getting started

Open your shop and take your first order

5 minute read

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 the embroiderer side. Broidry opens your dashboard.
  2. 2On the Today page, look for the setup helper. 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 photos sell.

Share your link

  1. 1On the Today page, find the box called Your shop page 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.
Good to know: You do not need to finish everything before sharing the link. The shop page only shows what you have added, so a shop with three products looks complete, not empty.

What to read next

When your first message from a customer arrives in a Facebook chat instead of through your shop page, read the guide called Turn a pasted message into an order. When you are ready to show a customer their design before stitching, read The Mockup Studio, start to finish.
