If you’ve ever sold through Facebook comments, Instagram DMs or TikTok replies you know the grind by heart:
-
A buyer wants “the blue one in size M” – but the photo was posted three weeks ago and you can’t find it.
-
Five other prospects ghost because you missed their message under a pile of notifications.
-
You juggle notebooks, spreadsheets and memory-sticks to track stock, then apologize when you actually ran out yesterday.
-
Manually typing “Your order is ready for pickup” twenty times a day feels like a second job you never applied for.
Customers feel the friction too. They can’t browse everything you offer, compare options, or trust that you’re still “legit” once they leave the comfort of the feed.
An e-commerce store solves these headaches:
-
One permanent link that showcases every product, price and variant.
-
Built-in filters so shoppers jump straight to “Jewellery → Necklaces → Under-Rs 2000”.
-
Auto-updating stock counters and order statuses that turn window-shoppers into confident buyers.
-
A professional face that screams “real business”, not “side-hustle in my cousin’s garage”.
But hiring a developer or subscribing to big-box store builders can set you back ₹10 000 – ₹25 000 a year—steep for micro-brands, home bakers, boutique owners and weekend crafters.
That’s exactly why we built
Taptolink Store
.
For just
₹2000 a year
(yes, twelve months, less than the cost of a weekly coffee) you get:
