How do you create an online store without a website?
You don't need a website to sell online. A store platform like Woven gives you a hosted storefront and a link like wovendz.com/your-store that you paste into your Instagram bio or WhatsApp status. No code, no domain name, no hosting to manage.

Website, Instagram page, hosted store: the difference
All three are used to sell, but they don't demand the same budget, the same skills or the same time before the first order.
| Custom website | Instagram page alone | Hosted store | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Developer needed | Yes | No | No |
| Domain and hosting | On you | Not applicable | Included in the store link |
| Browsable catalogue | Yes | No — you scroll the feed | Yes, with search and categories |
| Order intake | Must be built | In private messages | Cart and structured order |
| Time to first sale | Weeks | Immediate | Same day |
What you actually need
- A short store name that people can type without mistakes.
- A logo, even a simple one: it's what separates a store from an improvised page.
- Your products with photos, prices, sizes and quantities.
- A delivery fee and a carrier.
Create your store in five steps
- Open an account and start the trialThe free trial runs 7 days and asks for no card. It's there to build the store for real, not to watch a demo.
- Choose your linkThe store link reads wovendz.com/your-store. In your customers' minds it's permanent: choose it the way you'd choose a shop sign.
- Dress the storefrontLogo, banner, categories. A store that's consistent in colour and photography reads as a brand, not a photo dump.
- Publish your productsEach listing takes several photos, a price, a discount, sizes with their stock, and keywords that help customers find the item.
- Share and sellPaste the link in your bio, your stories and your DM replies. From then on the customer orders alone, even at two in the morning.
Customise without touching code
Beyond the catalogue you can compose whole pages from ready-made blocks: cover, text, product grid or carousel, image banner, gallery, call-to-action band, contact, social links, YouTube video, product search and spacing. You stack them and publish.
The page builder is open to any active plan. White label — a storefront with no mention of Woven at all — stays reserved for the Diamond plan.
What about search visibility?
Your store and each product get their own public address, readable by Google and by AI assistants. There's nothing to configure: the title, description and structured data are generated from what you type. So write product titles someone would actually search for.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell online without knowing how to code?
Yes. You fill in forms: store name, logo, photos, prices, sizes, delivery fee. There is no code to write, no server to set up and no technical updates to run.
Do I need to buy a domain name?
No. Your store is published at an address carrying your name, like wovendz.com/your-store, shareable straight away. There's no domain to buy and no hosting to renew.
Does the store work in Arabic?
Yes, fully, with a right-to-left interface. Arabic, French and English are available on both the buyer and the seller side, and your customer picks whichever suits them.
What happens to my store if I stop paying?
It pauses: the catalogue stops being publicly visible. Nothing is charged automatically since there is no auto-renewal — you resume when you pay for another term.
