Sellit is easy to create and even easier to use. Essentially, Sellit transforms a single link into a digital storefront for your followers to view a shoppable version of your Instagram GRID. They can window shop to view your PRODUCTS and services and quickly purchase anything they like from that link without being redirected to another page.

You’ll be able to select which Instagram posts appear on your GRID view and tag products or link out to other URLs. You can upload images of physical products, digital products, services, or any else that you’d like to display in your digital storefront. 

To manage that storefront, you can set up a payment system managed through Stripe or use your own for your products. There’s also an option for you to create custom widgets to embed in emails or websites and view your storefront’s analytics. It’s never been easier to track your data!

Sellit was designed to ensure ease and simplicity for all who use it. For Sellit storefront owners, we made sure that the setup process was quick and easy. Our goal was to allow you the ability to get your products to market quickly and efficiently. Because your Sellit storefront should operate on your timeline, not ours.

Below this, you’ll see your BUY NOW BUTTON SETTINGS. This allows you to select where you want your shop visitors to buy your product. You can select the LINK TO A WEBSITE option to direct your customers to a specific website or URL to purchase the product.
