Your phone buzzes. A customer on WhatsApp asks if the sneakers are still available. You type out the price, the sizes, the same description you sent to the last three people who asked. It’s 10pm and you’re answering the same questions you answered this morning.

If you sell from your phone, you know the drill. One customer at a time, back and forth, repeating yourself all day. It works, but it’s exhausting. It doesn’t have to be.

You can have a real storefront, with your own link, your prices, your photos, payments, and orders in one place. And it takes about five minutes. Here’s the fastest way to do it, and it’s free to try.

1. Create your account

Head to mafflle.store and hit Register. You need an email or phone number, a password, and your business name.

That’s it. No card, no payment, nothing to pay today. The trial is genuinely free, and you get the whole thing for seven days.

One thing most people miss: you pick your plan during the trial, and you get that plan’s features for free the whole week. Want to test bigger limits, more products, even your own domain? Pick Growth for the trial and try it all before you pay a naira.

2. Add your products

From your dashboard, add each product with a name, a price, and a photo or two. If you sell sizes or colors, that works too, and each version gets its own price and stock.

Use clear photos. People on WhatsApp and Instagram decide fast, and a good picture does half the selling for you.

3. Set up payments

Connect Paystack so customers can pay by card, bank transfer, or USSD. The money settles to your bank account. You can also take pay on delivery if you sell to people you trust.

You don’t need to understand the mechanics. It’s a few taps in your dashboard, and your store is ready to take money.

Every store gets a free link, like yourstore.mafflle.store. This is the part that changes everything. Instead of answering the same questions one DM at a time, you post your link. Customers browse your whole store, see your prices and photos, and order themselves.

Put the link in your WhatsApp status. Your Instagram bio. Wherever your customers already are. One link does the talking you used to do by hand.

5. Take your first order

When someone orders, it lands in your dashboard with everything you need: the items, the customer, the delivery address, the payment status. You manage it from your phone, no more screenshot-and-spreadsheet juggling.

That first order arriving on its own, without you doing anything, is a nice feeling. I’ll let you find out for yourself.

That’s the whole thing

Five steps. A few minutes. Free to start. If you hit a snag at any point, the user guide has the full walkthrough for every feature.

And when you’re ready to stop repeating yourself one DM at a time, claim your store. You’ll be glad you did.
