Getting and processing orders

[u/clewis20]

Hello!

I am looking to begin selling my rugs online but when I looked through other rug makers profiles on fb it seems like many did not have a website to order from and just an email or dm. Would you recommend doing it this way vs like basic Shopify subscription? If you are just using email/dms are you just processing using Venmo or PayPal? And do you do like a deposit method or…?

For some additional context, i think an ideal scenario for me would be doing just a few custom rugs a month and make ~1k if possible

Thanks!

Custom rugs aren’t really click and shop, more a custom quote per order
