TextMint for Art and craft sellers

Your handmade work deserves a page as good as the piece

TextMint builds your art and craft business a real website, then takes and organises your orders right inside WhatsApp. You create. It handles the showing off and the selling.

Free during launch. No signup, no card. Just text us.

If you make art prints, candles, personalised gifts, or handmade crafts, your work is one of a kind, but your sales process usually is not, it is the same scattered WhatsApp posts and DM negotiations everyone else uses. Custom orders need details, references, and a deposit, and that is hard to track in a chat that never stops moving. TextMint gives your art and craft business a proper home online and a calmer way to sell, without you learning a single new app.

The hard parts

Custom order details get lost

A customer sends a name, a colour, and a reference photo for a personalised piece, and by the time you start making it three days later, half those details are buried under new messages.

People do not see the full range of what you make

You post one candle or one print at a time, so new followers never see your whole catalogue, and you keep answering 'do you have anything else' instead of just sending a link.

Deposits for custom work are awkward to collect

Custom pieces take time and materials upfront, but asking for a deposit over chat with your personal account number feels informal, and some customers vanish after you send the price.

How TextMint helps

A gallery that shows your full range

A real website with your prints, candles, and custom pieces, priced and photographed properly. One link to send instead of scattered posts. It also shows up on Google when people search for art and craft sellers near them.

Order on WhatsApp button

Customers tap a piece they like and land straight in your WhatsApp with the item filled in, ready for you to confirm sizing, colour, or personalisation details.

Deposits confirmed before you start creating

TextMint sends a payment link for the deposit on custom work and confirms the transfer landed before you buy materials or start making it. No more starting on a promise.

Follow ups and repeat gift buyers

It helps you follow up on quotes for custom pieces that never closed, and message past customers when new prints or seasonal gift ranges are ready.

What it looks like

Made by Nkechi / Yaba, Lagos

Made by Nkechi sold personalised candles and art prints entirely through Instagram DMs, and custom order details often got mixed up between chats. Deposits felt awkward to ask for, so she sometimes started work before payment cleared. With TextMint, she got a real site showing her full range with prices, an Order on WhatsApp button on each piece, and a deposit link for custom orders. Now a customer picks a design, sends their personalisation details through a clean order, and Nkechi sees the deposit confirmed before she opens a single jar of wax.

Illustrative example, not a real customer.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to know how to build a website?

No. You tell TextMint about your art and craft business in a WhatsApp chat, and it builds the whole site for you in about a minute. You just approve it. You can ask it to add new pieces or update prices any time by texting.

Can I take custom or personalised orders through this?

Yes. Customers can order through the Order on WhatsApp button, and you confirm the personalisation details, like a name or colour, directly in the chat before you start making it.

How do I collect a deposit for custom work?

TextMint creates a payment link for the deposit and confirms the transfer for you. You know it has cleared before you buy materials or start creating, which protects your time and money.
