Still selling through DMs? You're losing money you can't see.
Start with 14 days free, then US$50/month or US$500/year. No automatic renewal or Selzix transaction fee. External services and taxes are separate. Your billing country determines your final plan price.
Every conversation starts with 'send pics of what's available.' On Selzix your products are a live catalog, always current, sortable, searchable. Buyers self-serve. You stop re-typing the same five answers every day.
Payments are proof, not promises.
Your own gateway — Stripe, or Razorpay in India — confirms each payment instantly, with real receipts and refunds from your dashboard. No more 'I sent it, here's the screenshot.' No more wondering if a payment is real. No more chasing buyers who forgot to pay.
Buyers trust a store. A DM, not so much.
First-time buyers hesitate to send money to a stranger's account for a product they only saw in an Instagram story. A real store with your domain, your brand, SSL, proper invoices and a secure checkout gives new buyers a reason to trust you.
Run ads to a store. Not to a DM.
Instagram and Google ads need a real destination. A paid click that lands in a DM is mostly wasted — buyers won't navigate the conversation. A paid click that lands on a product page with checkout can become an order. The day you have a real store is the day you can actually buy growth.

Moving from DMs to a store, answered.
What will my Selzix plan cost?
Start with 14 days free, then US$50/month or US$500/year. No automatic renewal or Selzix transaction fee. External services and taxes are separate. Your billing country determines your final plan price.
Can I still take orders on WhatsApp?
Yes. Selzix doesn't replace WhatsApp — it just gives you a real store to send people to. Drop your store link in DMs. Buyers see the live catalog, check out themselves, and you get the order in your dashboard. You spend less time typing the same answers and more time on the parts of your business that only you can do.
What about my regular customers? They love DM-ing me.
Send them the store link once. Most regulars love it because they can see what's new whenever they want, without waiting for your reply. The few who only want to DM can still DM you — but now you have a real store for everyone else, including new buyers who don't know you yet.
I'm only doing 5-10 orders a day. Is a store worth it?
Compare the plan price with your monthly sales, the hours you spend typing and the orders that slip away. If a store recovers a few abandoned orders and saves an hour a day, it usually pays for itself. Honest cutoff: if your monthly sales are only a few times the plan price, stay on DMs and come back when you grow. We'd rather lose you than charge you for something that doesn't fit your business yet.
I'm not technical. Is this going to be hard to set up?
Start from one of eight brand kits, import your catalogue or add products, and customise your pages with the visual editor. Review payments, delivery and your domain before publishing. Setup time depends on your catalogue and integrations.
What if buyers want to chat before they buy?
Every Selzix store can include a WhatsApp button — buyers tap it and start a chat with you, your questions answered in DM, then they checkout on the store. You get the trust of a personal conversation AND the order trail of a real transaction. Best of both.
Will I lose the personal touch that my buyers like?
Only the parts that waste your time. The DM conversations that matter — questions about fit, custom orders, regular check-ins — stay. The conversations that don't matter (sending the same catalog screenshot ten times) go away. Your buyers will tell you they prefer this.
Can I migrate my products and customers?
Selzix can import a public Shopify product catalogue with images and variants, or selected Instagram posts as draft products. These importers do not transfer customer accounts, historical orders or themes. For another platform, share a sample of your catalogue so we can assess the setup work before you switch.
What about my custom domain?
You can connect a domain you own using the DNS instructions in Selzix. Plan the change after reviewing your new storefront; DNS propagation and certificate provisioning take time. Domain registration and email hosting remain separate.
Will I lose my brand?
No. Selzix has eight designed brand kits and a visual editor for colors, fonts, sections, and layout. Every element is editable without writing a line of code. Your design is yours to push as far as you want.
