Local crafts

Your work, your price, sold from your own page and from the homestays nearby

Shawls, carpets, wood, metal, tea. A visitor wants to see the piece, know what it costs, and buy it before they leave the valley, or ask you to post it to them.

Running today in Kullu, Chamba, Kinnaur, Dharamshala, and everywhere else in India.

What it does for you

Your week, handled

Every piece with its price and what is left

Sizes and colours as options, stock counted per option, so a sold-out weave does not take the whole shelf off the site.

Every plan

Paid before you pack, collected or posted

They pay the full amount to your own UPI, you approve, and they collect from you, or you deliver or post it. Nothing leaves before the money lands.

Every plan

Sold by the homestays too

Offer a piece to the catalogue at a rate you set, and the homestays around you sell it to their guests and keep that share.

Every plan

Everything it gets

80 features, all of them

What every site has from the first plan up, then every feature in detail.

Your own shop website at yourname.staycraft.co.in, in one of seven designs: Loom (the pieces first, for a shop with a wide range), Kiln (your story first, for a maker whose work sells because of who made it), Apothecary (your product and your certificates first, for a maker brand that sells on proof: Ayurveda, wellness, saffron, honey) Pantry (your jars first, warm and homely, for honey, preserves, pickles and teas) or Debut (one product you are launching: it sells it and shows a Kickstarter backer you are real, with a waiting list, a countdown and your tiers, and the proof behind it: your awards and the people who have seen it, your films, your research with the study named, and your journey in photos) or Atelier, a premium design on Pro or by quote (clothes: your collections as the menu, tall photographs that turn to a second one, each piece chosen by colour and size with your size chart and "Find my fit", the pieces to wear with it, a lookbook, and your own announcement bar for offers, delivery and returns), or Brew, a premium design on Pro or by quote (one tea, spice mix, honey or coffee sold on the first screen: its types, its packs with the price of 100 g and what a bigger pack saves, Add to basket, cash on delivery and free postage, then buyers' photos, where it comes from, how it compares and how to brew it). The site moves a little: the first screen opens with a slow push-in, and headings and photos rise as a visitor scrolls. Still for anyone whose phone is set to reduce motion

For clothes (on the Atelier design): a size and a colour per option with a swatch to tap, your size chart (chest, waist, length) with "Find my fit" from the buyer's own measurements, collections that become your menu and their own pages, "Complete the look" with up to three pieces worn together and what they come to, and your returns and exchanges line beside every buy button. Buy the look: a set price or a percentage off when every piece of a look is in the basket, taken off at checkout and shown on the order and the bill, with GST on what was paid

Your pieces 22

Products One row per piece: name, the story behind it, photographs, and its kind (textiles, wood, metal, pottery, jewellery, food and tea, wellness and Ayurveda, other).
Options with their own price and count A sold-out large does not take the small off the shelf.
Stock shown to buyers The shop shows how many are left, or "Sold out".
Posting Whether you post a piece, its flat postage charge and how many days it takes. Several posted pieces in one order pay the highest charge once, not the sum.
Collect only Mark a piece too big or too fragile to send; it is never posted or delivered.
Returns terms How many days a buyer has to ask for a return, and who pays the postage back. Printed on the piece and payment pages and in the "order has arrived" email.
What a buyer asks Each piece can say what it is made of or its ingredients, where it comes from, its size and weight, how long it took to make, its care or storage, and its best-before. The piece's page shows only what you filled in, as a short table.
A document per piece A lab report, a certificate or a care card as a PDF, opened from the piece's page.
Pack sizes with labels Each option can carry a short label such as "Most loved" or "Best value", shown on the shelf and the piece's page.
Made to order A piece can say how many days it takes to make, beside the price, so nobody is surprised by the wait.
How it is made A section on every design: a paragraph per stage and a photograph of the making, and now, if you like, the stages one by one, each with its photo and how long it takes.
Certificates and marks A section listing your GI tag, Handloom Mark, FSSAI licence, organic certificate, ISO or patent, each with its number and the certificate itself for a buyer to open.
The people A section for the makers, the family or the founders and advisers, each with a photo, what they do and where.
Supported by and press A row of the logos or names of who supports you or wrote about you.
Reviews of a piece, with photos Buyers rate a piece and add up to three photos; you publish them. Stars show beside the price and on the shelf.
Shop by and in season Tags you choose ("Gifts", "Breakfast") become filters on your shelf; a piece in season is marked "Fresh this season" and shown first.
How to use it A recipe, a way to wear it or how to light it, on the piece's page.
Free postage above an amount, or postage by weight Your choice; the basket tells a buyer how much more makes postage free.
Cash on delivery and card payments Buyers may pay cash when it arrives (up to a limit you set), or on your own card and netbanking page (Razorpay, Instamojo, PayU). You approve each order as now. StayCraft still never holds the money.
Gift packing Free, with no prices in the parcel and a note from the buyer.
Bulk and corporate orders A quote form for hotels, offices, weddings and clinics, on your site and every piece; requests arrive with your enquiries.
A deposit to reserve A piece can ask a deposit: the buyer pays it now, and the balance on delivery or collection. Checkout, the order, the emails and the bill show both.

The basket and checkout 7

Add, then − 1 + The count stops at how many you have made, or 20, and says why. The basket keeps up to 20 different pieces and is remembered in the buyer's browser.
Checked again before paying If a piece has sold out or changed price since it was added, the buyer sees it marked by name and chooses to keep or remove it.
Three ways to receive it Collect from you, post it, or have you deliver it. One order goes one way; it is never split.
Pay by UPI The amount in large figures, a "Pay in UPI app" button on a phone, your QR code on a computer, your UPI ID with a copy button. The buyer uploads the payment screenshot and sends the order and proof together.
Your reply time. Tell buyers you usually confirm within a few hours, within a day, or within two days. An order not answered in time shows as Overdue on your list
The buyer's order page A private page that says where the order stands in one sentence ("Posted by India Post on 2 Oct"), with the pieces, the money and a WhatsApp link to you.
Privacy consent recorded Each order shows when the buyer agreed to your privacy notice, and which version.

Running orders 7

Approve all Takes every piece in the order off the shelf at once, numbers the bill and emails the buyer. It refuses, and changes nothing, if any piece has run out.
Nothing leaves the shelf before you approve Your site, and every homestay selling your piece, sell from one count, so the last piece can only be sold once.
When a piece has sold since they paid, Ask buyer about part order sets the rest aside and asks the buyer to choose: send the rest, with the money for the sold piece back, or cancel everything. A ready WhatsApp message is offered. The buyer is reminded once after a day; after three days the order is Overdue and you decide
Step by step Mark ready to collect, Mark collected; or Mark packed, Mark posted (with courier and tracking number, emailed to the buyer), Mark delivered; or Mark out for delivery, Mark delivered.
Cancel or Returned Puts the pieces back on the shelf at once.
Money to return. A paid order that is declined, cancelled or returned shows the amount to send back until you press Record money returned with the UPI or bank reference. The buyer's page then shows it
Filters For status, how it goes, money to return and overdue.

Delivering it yourself 4

Your places Switch on local delivery and list the places you carry orders to, in your own words, each with a delivery fee and a minimum order.
Buyers pick from your list Never type a place, so the fee is always right. A place whose minimum is not reached is greyed with "Add ₹80 more" style help.
A phone number is required For a delivery, and your order page shows the place, street and landmark.
Switching delivery off Keeps your list for next time.

Bills and GST 4

A bill for goods For every order approved on your own site, numbered in its own series that restarts every April. The buyer opens and prints it from their order page.
Three kinds, by your registration: a plain Bill if you are not registered; a Tax invoice with your GSTIN if you are registered and have set a rate for goods (prices include GST, CGST and SGST within your state or for collection, IGST to another state); a Bill of supply if you are registered with no rate for goods
One rate for goods Set once. There is no default: handicrafts are 5%, 12% or nil depending on what you make, so the owner sets it with their accountant.
A bill stays as it was issued Changing your rate or GSTIN later never rewrites an old bill.

Selling through homestays 4

Offer to homestays Set the share a homestay keeps, as a percentage or a fixed amount per piece. The price to the guest is the same as on your site.
The homestay sells and collects Its guest pays the homestay; the homestay approves the order, and you are emailed your pieces and where they go. Each maker packs and posts their own parcel.
Sold via partners What each homestay owes you, net of returns, less what it has recorded paying you, with the date and UPI reference of each payment for you to check against your UPI app.
A ping when a homestay sells your piece With the homestay's name and how many pieces.

Your team 3

Packer Role. Sees only approved orders still to pack and send: the pieces and where each goes, with one button for the next step. Never sees a price, an amount, or the buyer's email or phone (except the phone on a posted parcel's address, because couriers ask for it).
How many Website 1, Basic 3, Growth 5, Pro 10 staff logins. If you move to a smaller plan, the logins added last are paused, not removed.

Your website and Google 10

Each design has its own touches The enquiry form is styled the design's own way (ruled lines, soft cards, ink outlines, paper, glass or a stamp), a small hand-drawn mark of the design's own sits between the sections and draws itself in as a visitor scrolls, and facility icons are drawn in the design's own hand. What the form asks and does stays the same.
