Most makers we talk to didn't start with a plan to build an online store — they started at a market stall, because it's the lowest-friction way to test whether people will actually pay for what you make. The move online usually happens later, and often later than it should.
A common pattern looks like this: consistent market sales, a growing number of people asking where they can buy between market days, and then a decision to put a small selection online — sometimes through social media first, before opening a dedicated shop.
The biggest practical blocker at this stage isn't technical, it's the listing work. You already have the photos and the product knowledge from market prep — what's missing is the time to turn that into proper online listings, on top of everything else running a stall involves.
This is exactly the gap DistroBay closes. The same photos you take around market day, plus the explanation you'd give a customer at your stall, become beautiful online listings. Going online no longer means starting a second content project after the market is packed away.
Set a timeline that fits your workload: begin with a few proven products, check every photo and detail, then add more once your order, packaging, and shipping routine feels manageable. DistroBay handles the listing uploads and updates, leaving you to decide how quickly the online side should grow.
