    start selling from instagram, if you already have traction you can create your own virtual store, I can help you or you can pay etsy, you can also use shopify

    consider starting with a simple instagram shop and then gradually expanding to your own website or using platforms like shopify or etsy for wider reach and more secure transactions. maintaining a strong online presence through social media is key for small businesses.

      Is selling on Instagram safe to do so with my personal bank or do I need a middle man ?

    Big Cartel is more affordable than Shopify. But it has less support via its own app ecosystem.

    That said you can integrate just about anything if you ever need to.

    For hand made stuff it should be super simple to spin up a website using one of their templates
