Can I sell on Instagram with Crate?
Yes. Crate turns an Instagram audience into orders without the manual back and forth of quoting prices in comments and collecting details in direct messages. A business on Crate shares a product or catalogue link from its Instagram profile or a story, and the customer buys on the business's own Crate store at the price and stock Crate already holds. That order lands in the same Crate queue as every other channel, and payment is taken by card, bank transfer or a local rail such as USSD, in the merchant's own currency, USD or NGN. The customer record and the stock update in Crate automatically, so nothing is retyped afterwards.
Tired of sending pictures and prices back and forth?
Orders get lost in DMs. You retype the same price ten times a day. Your money mixes with your personal chat. There is a calmer way.
- The old way A photo, then “how much?”, then an account number, then “did it send?”. All day, across every chat.
- With Crate One link shows your real catalog and prices. The order lands in your queue and the payment lands in your account.
One link in your bio does the selling.
Drop your Crate link in your bio. Customers browse your real catalog, see prices, and order without you lifting a finger. When a DM does come in, you send a product or a payment link right in the conversation, and the customer pays by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer.
- Your real catalog and prices, one tap from your profile
- Turn a DM into a paid order with a product or payment link

Selling on Instagram, answered honestly.
The plain answers, including the honest no's. Where something is not yet confirmed, we say so rather than promise it.
Your store is yours, not a corner of Instagram. Your brand, your link, your customers.
Is my store separate from Instagram?
Yes. Your Crate store is your own branded store with its own link. Instagram is where you reach people. Crate is where they browse, order and pay, and where you run the business.
How do customers pay?
By card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or bank transfer, the ways your customers already pay. Money is confirmed instantly, you get an alert. Money from card sales lands in your bank account on a rolling two-day schedule. Nothing to claim, nothing to withdraw.
Can I import my Instagram posts as products?
Post import is on the roadmap. Until it is live we will not claim it. You can build your catalog by hand today and start selling from your bio right away.
Do I need an Instagram business account?
You can start selling with a link in your bio on any account. We will spell out any specific requirements plainly once they are confirmed, rather than promise something we have not.
Will Crate bring me followers?
No. Crate does not send you traffic. It turns the audience you already have into a catalog they can buy from, so a DM becomes a paid order instead of a lost one.
More that comes built in.
Instagram is one channel. The same catalog sells on your store, in WhatsApp and at your counter, and it is all managed from one admin.
