Sailo Store

Link-in-bio shop for creators and social sellers - one URL where buyers browse, add to basket and checkout without leaving the page.

Target Market

Sailo targets creators, influencers and small businesses already selling through social channels and DMs who want a storefront without building a full website.

Creators & Influencers

Ideal for sellers who drive traffic from Instagram, TikTok or WhatsApp and need one link that actually takes orders.

Social-First Sellers

Perfect for businesses that sell through chat - orders arrive pre-written with items, options, address and total.

Small Catalogs

Best for shops with up to a few hundred products - physical goods, digital files, services and bookings.

Ideal Use Cases

Link-in-Bio Replacement

Replace a link list with a real shop at sailo.store/yourname. Social links sit at the top; underneath are products with photos, prices, variants and stock counts.

DM-to-Order Workflow

Buyers pay by card through your own Stripe, or land in WhatsApp, Telegram or Instagram DM with the order already written out. No retyping orders by hand.

Services & Digital Products

Sell appointments with date pickers and notice periods, or digital files that unlock on payment confirmation with download limits and expiry.

Local & Mobile-First Businesses

Food vendors, nail studios, print shops and local makers who share a link on social, in a bio or on a printed menu - setup fits on one phone screen.

Pros & Cons

Advantages

  • vs. Linktree / link lists: Full shop with basket and checkout instead of sending buyers elsewhere; prices, stock and variants built in.
  • vs. Shopify: Faster setup, no theme or checkout configuration, built for social traffic and chat-based fulfillment.
  • vs. Wix: Purpose-built for link-in-bio selling; 0% commission on chat and bank-transfer orders.
  • Payments: Sailo never holds money - card payments go through your own Stripe; bank transfer and cash on delivery with your instructions.

Disadvantages

  • vs. Shopify: Less extensible, smaller ecosystem, not suited for large catalogs or complex B2B workflows.
  • vs. full website builders: Less design control and no standalone branded domain on lower tiers.
  • Scale: Free plan capped at 10 products; analytics retention limited on lower plans.
  • Maturity: Still in beta - fewer third-party integrations and no established review presence yet.
