MicroShop
Micro-store builder for creators and small sellers with just a few products
A fast, ultra-simple micro-store builder for creators and small sellers with just a few products (e.g., merch, handmade items, digital downloads, or niche goods). MicroShop generates a mobile-optimized one-page store in seconds: Add products, photos, prices — link it in your TikTok/Instagram bio. Traffic comes from social videos/reels; buyers checkout seamlessly. No setup for payments or shipping — platform handles payments (payout to seller), buyer selects local delivery/pickup options based on seller's location.
Social creator grind plus viral traffic explosions equals mad interest from fans, but massive walls when it comes to actually selling shit.
Creators drown in "where to buy?" comments, yet full Shopify or Lite is total overkill for just 3–10 products.
Link-in-bio crap like Linktree or Beacons? Basic as hell—no real cart, no checkout, just dead ends.
TikTok and Instagram Shops demand approvals, catalogs, and a nightmare setup that kills the vibe.
Small sellers straight-up hate messing with Stripe configs, taxes, and shipping rates—it's a buzzkill.
Current options blow: Native TikTok/Instagram Shops mean endless approval waits, high fees, and they're rigged for big sellers only.
Gumroad's built for digital drops, not physical stuff with local delivery options.
MicroShop flips the script: Drop your location and products → AI builds your store → Add payout deets → Pick local couriers like Uber Direct → Go live, with the platform handling checkout, payouts, and basic logistics.
Social commerce is blowing up to around $1.6 trillion globally in 2025, rocking 30%+ CAGR; US market alone hitting $87–115 billion.
TikTok Shop GMV is surging past $60 billion, but it's dominated by mega-sellers—leaving millions of micro-creators screwed.
Local and hybrid delivery is on the rise—buyers crave fast pickup or same-day drops.
AI and no-code wave is perfect: Creators demand zero-tech bullshit to launch.
Cultural shift is raw: Impulse buys straight from videos, "link in bio" obsession, and the side-hustle economy raging hard.
Niche down hyper-local: Crush cities packed with creator density for max traction.
