Start Your Instagram Thrift Store in 5 Minutes

The hardest part of a Thrift Drop? Managing the chaos of DM requests. "Is this available?" "Can I measure the pit-to-pit?"

The "Drop" Model

Instead of posting 50 Stories and tracking replies manually:

  • Upload all 50 items to your OrderViaChat store.
  • Set the store to Retail Mode.
  • Post ONE link in your Story: "Drop is Live! Link in bio."

Why It Works

Scarcity. When customers see items disappearing from the site in real-time, they buy faster. No waiting for you to reply to a DM.

Using the Marketing Tools

Use our new Store QR Code generator. Print it on a sticker and put it on every package you ship. Turn one-time buyers into repeat customers.
