Start a business

From first idea to first sale

Describe what you sell and get a store ready to sell: brand, theme, pages and products. Connect a payment provider, publish, and take your first order with a 0% transaction fee.

Who this is for

You have a product and no store yet. That is the right place to start.

A first store used to mean weeks of setup before anyone could buy. On Tanqory you write one sentence about what you sell, and the assistant drafts the brand, picks and fills a free theme, writes the pages and lists your products. You review it, change anything by asking, and publish.

  • No design or code needed to open
  • Every theme is free
  • 0% transaction fee from the first order
Start with one sentence

See it happen

One sentence in, a store ready to sell out

This is the whole first session: you describe the business, the assistant builds each part where you can see it, and the first order lands in your admin.

Five steps

What happens between today and your first order

Each step is a screen in the same admin. Do them in one sitting or one a day.

  1. Describe what you sell

    Write one sentence. The assistant drafts your brand, sets up a free theme, writes the home, about and policy pages and lists your first products. Everything it makes stays editable.

    Start building
  2. Fill the shelf

    Add a photo and a price. The assistant writes the product copy and cleans up or edits the picture. Every plan has no cap on products or orders, so the catalog grows when you do.

    See products
  3. Get paid your way

    Connect your own Stripe or PayPal account with a secure sign-in. You pay your provider's own rate with no markup from us, and Tanqory adds a 0% transaction fee on every plan.

    See pricing
  4. Be found where buyers look

    Send your product feed to ChatGPT, Google Merchant Center, Meta and TikTok from one settings page. On your own store, search understands meaning, so "a gift for a plant lover" finds the planter.

    Explore channels
  5. Grow before you hire

    Ask the assistant in the admin to create a discount, write the launch email or pull a sales report. It acts after you confirm, and this everyday work never uses AI credits.

    Evenings and weekends

    A knitter lists six beanies after work. The assistant writes the copy, and the store takes orders while she is at her day job.

Questions before a first store

Who is this for?

Anyone opening a first online store: a maker, a reseller, a creator with an audience or someone testing one product. You need something to sell and a way to be paid. You do not need design or coding skills.

What does the assistant build from my sentence?

A brand (name, colors and voice), a free theme set up with your content, the home, about and policy pages, and your first products with copy. You review each part and can change any of it by asking or by editing it yourself in the visual editor.

What does it cost to start?

You get 3 days free before your first charge, then a fixed monthly plan price. Tanqory adds a 0% transaction fee on every plan. You pay your payment provider's own rate, and we never mark it up. The pricing page lists every plan.

Do I need my own payment provider?

Yes. You connect your own Stripe, PayPal or Braintree account with a secure sign-in, and the money from each sale goes to that account. Local payment methods are offered through regional gateways.

Does the AI cost extra?

Every plan includes monthly AI credits. Everyday work does not use them: chatting with the assistant, letting it act in the admin, product copy, emails, policies and reports. Credits apply to heavier jobs such as image generation, the store launch and theme generation, and you can top up with a credit pack at any time.

Can I change the design later?

Yes. Every theme is free and stays editable in the visual editor. You can also ask the assistant to change the theme, and a developer can edit its React and TypeScript code in Studio.

What happens when the business grows?

The same store keeps going. Higher plans add staff seats, AI credits and storage. B2B and wholesale, subscriptions, markets with local currencies, marketing email and workflow automation are already built in, and you can export your products, customers and orders as CSV at any time.

Your first sale starts with one sentence
