The Stan Store alternative for a business with an address
A funnel sells a course. It does not tell somebody whether you are open on Sunday.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Stan Store is well made for what it is: a link in bio that sells digital products to an audience that arrives from Instagram. A trainer with a studio, a class timetable and clients who walk past the door has a second business that a funnel cannot describe. Clay builds a site from your Google listing, with the hours, the map, the timetable and a booking button, and it still lists what you sell and sends you the orders.
Clay vs Stan Store
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
How it works
Search your business
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Pick a style
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap, no code, no templates to wrestle.
You're online
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Real sites, made with Clay
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Do you take a cut?
No, and there is nothing to take a cut of: an order on a Clay site comes to you as a message rather than through a checkout, so the sale is between you and the customer.
Can I sell a course on Clay?
Not with a checkout. Clay lists what you sell and sends you the order; for a platform that takes the payment and drips the content, Stan is the right tool.
Can I use both?
Plenty do. The site is the address people are sent to, and the funnel is what runs off a story.
