Build the size run once
Add the style with every size you stock, half sizes included, each with its own count. This is the work, and it is done once per style.
Shoes
Sell shoes with the size run under control.
A pair is a dozen products wearing one photograph. Set the run once, sell it from your store, from social and in chat, and let one stock count decide what is still available.

How do I sell shoes online?
List each style once and add the full size run as variants, including the half sizes and the widths you genuinely stock. Give every size its own count, because a style is only in stock in the sizes you actually have. Publish that to your own store, share it on social, and sell it in chat from the same catalog, so a pair sold in a message disappears from the size list everywhere else. Take payment at checkout and pack from one order queue. Expect returns: shoes are bought by a number that means something different in every brand, so process each return against its original order and the size goes straight back into stock.
How to start selling shoes.
Getting started
Four steps, in order. Each one is a screen you can open on the first day, not a project.
Say what the sizing means
Put the conversion and the fit note on the product page. Every size question you answer there is a return you do not process later.
Open the store and checkout
Put your name on a theme, connect a domain, switch on card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer. A buyer can now pay without asking you anything.
Sell it in the thread too
Share the same product into chat and social. The size that sells there is gone from the store immediately.
What is different about selling shoes.
What is different here
Every kind of product has a detail that decides whether the software fits. These are the ones that decide it here.
The run is deep and mostly empty
A style might list twenty sizes and hold stock in seven. Per size counts are what stop a buyer paying for a number you were never going to find.
Sizing is the whole conversation
The same number fits differently by brand and by country, so the sizing note on the page does more work here than any other product type on this site.
Returns are normal, not a failure
Shoes come back more than most things. Processing the return against the original order puts the size back on the shelf instead of leaving it lost.
Your buyers are already in a thread.
Where you sell
Shoes get discovered on a feed and bought in a message, usually after one question about the size. The answer is on the page and the payment link is in the same thread.
In your market that usually means Your store, Instagram and In person.
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer.
Getting paid
Take card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and bank transfer at checkout, or take a deposit in chat and the balance on delivery. Money from card sales lands in your bank account on a rolling two-day schedule. Nothing to claim, nothing to withdraw.

How it reaches the buyer.
Delivery
A shoe box is bulky for its weight, so shipping priced by zone rather than by guess is what keeps a pair profitable.
- Set your shipping rates by zone, by weight or as one flat rate, and the checkout works them out for the buyer instead of you quoting in a thread.
- Offer pickup beside delivery. A buyer who is nearby collects, and the order still goes through the same queue and the same stock count.
- Print the order, mark it packed, mark it sent. The buyer gets the update without you writing a message.
- Every order from every channel lands in one queue, so nothing is fulfilled twice and nothing is missed.
What it costs.
One subscription covers the store, the catalog, the order queue, the customer records and the counter. There is no separate charge for selling in chat, and no charge per kind of product.
Priced and paid in US dollars. Every plan opens with a free trial and no card.

Selling shoes, answered.
Can I list half sizes and widths?
Yes. Every size, half size and width is its own variant with its own stock count and its own price if it needs one.
How do I stop selling a size I do not have?
Set the count per size. When it reaches zero that size stops being selectable while the rest of the run keeps selling.
Can I put a size guide on the page?
Yes. Add it as a page or as part of the product description, and link it from the menu so it is one tap away from every listing.
What happens when a pair comes back?
Process the return against the original order. The size returns to stock and the refund or exchange is recorded against the same customer.
Can I sell shoes in a chat thread?
Yes. Share the product from the same catalog and take the payment in the thread. The order lands in the same queue as a store order.
Do I need a separate stock system?
No. The store, the chat orders and the counter all draw down one count, which is the only way a deep size run stays honest.
