Common questions

Can I sell online without having a website?

Yes. All you really need is a page where people can see what you sell and pay you - not a whole website. A free Pludor store gives you that at pludor.com/your-name with your items, a checkout, share links and QR codes, and payment links for custom work.

How do I take payments from customers without a website?

Send a payment link or QR code for any amount or product, or a quick invoice. The customer pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or wallet on their own phone. Pludor's Quick Invoices and payment links do exactly this, and card payments require a connected Stripe account.

How much does it cost to start selling without a website?

You can start for free. A Pludor store costs $0 with no item limit, and you pay 4.99% + $0.90 per paid order, deducted before payout. Card processing is charged separately by Stripe, and cash sales recorded in POS carry no platform fee.

How do I sell stuff on Instagram or WhatsApp if I don't have a website?

Put a store link in your bio or send product links in chats, and customers checkout from there. With Pludor you can share your store or individual product links on WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok, and AI replies can answer the messages that come back.

Do I need to buy a domain name to sell online?

No. Your store can live at pludor.com/your-name and work fine from there. If you want your own domain later, Pludor lets you connect one to your store.

Can I sell in person as well as online without a website?

Yes. Use tap-to-pay on an NFC phone or a QR code customers scan to pay, with the same products and stock as your online store. Pludor's Smart Terminal turns a spare phone into a Tap-to-Pay / QR point-of-sale terminal.

What's the easiest way to set up a page to sell my products?

Open a free store by entering a name - the link is live immediately - then add items or let an AI builder add them with photos from a description. Finally, copy the link, print a free QR card, and post it wherever your customers are. On Pludor this takes about a minute and needs no card to start.

Is it safe to sell through a link instead of my own website?

Yes, as long as payments go through a real checkout with a connected processor. With Pludor, card payments run through your connected Stripe account and payouts go to your bank, so you're not handling card details yourself. Just be aware Pludor branding appears on checkout.

What should I avoid when I start selling without a website?

Two common mistakes: card payments won't work until you connect a Stripe account, and on a free setup the checkout shows the platform's branding. Connect Stripe before you share your link, and check how the checkout looks before customers do.

Can I get a real website later if I start with just a store link?

Yes - start with the store link now and add a website when you need one. Pludor's AI website builder can build a store site from your phone, and your first AI-built website is free. Your products, checkout and orders carry over to it.

Do I need a domain name?

No - your store lives at pludor.com/your-name. You can connect your own domain later.

How do customers pay?

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or wallet at checkout; you can also accept cash, PayPal or bank transfer.

Can I sell in person too?

Yes - tap-to-pay on an NFC phone or QR pay, with the same products and stock.

How do I take payments without a website?

Send a payment link or QR code for any amount or product, or a quick invoice; the customer pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or wallet on their own phone.

Can I sell on Instagram or WhatsApp without a website?

Yes - share your Pludor store or product links there, and let AI replies answer the messages that come back.
