For a business that sells twenty things, not two thousand. Products, options, a basket, and the order in your hand.
Between "a page with a phone number on it" and "an online store" there is an enormous gap that most small businesses fall into: a few things worth selling, and no appetite for a commerce platform.
The Clay shop is one band on your website. Photographs, a price, options like size or flavour, and a basket that adds it all up and sends you the finished order on WhatsApp or by email. Enough to sell the hampers, the prints, the beans or the gift vouchers, and you take the money the way you already do.
Options are the part most simple shop tools get wrong: a size, a flavour, a finish, each able to change the price. Clay handles those and does not pretend to handle stock rules it cannot.
For a real-world business the common case is click and collect, so it is the default. Flat-rate delivery is there; carrier-calculated rates and shipping zones are not, that is a commerce platform's job.
They add things up on the page and press Checkout, which sends you the whole order on WhatsApp or by email. You take the money the way you already do.
Uploaded from your phone, cropped and compressed on our side so the page stays fast.
The shop is part of the site. There is no separate commerce plan and nothing to pay before your first sale.
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.
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap, no code, no templates to wrestle.
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
There is no hard limit, but this is a browsable list rather than a searchable catalogue. Past about a hundred you want proper filtering and stock control.
Straight to you, because it never comes near us. Checkout hands you the order on WhatsApp or by email and you take payment however you already do, in the shop, on delivery, by transfer. Clay processes nothing and cannot take a cut of something it never touches.
Flat-rate, yes. Carrier rates and zones, no.
No. There is nothing to connect and nothing to be approved for, the shop sends you the order and you get paid the way you get paid now.
It does not. This is a shop for a business people come to, the basket does the adding up and the choosing, and the paying happens where it already happens. If you need a card charged at checkout, this is not that, and a commerce platform is.
Remove the band and the rest of the site carries on, hours, map, reviews and contact are not part of the shop.
Mark it sold out and it greys on the page immediately rather than being taken down. There is no live stock count and no till integration.
