Four steps How to launch
How to launch
your boutique.
Get your storefront generated
In minutes you have a full boutique store with hero, product grid, category navigation, lookbook layout, and AI-generated product images for your starter collection.
Upload your real photos
When your product photos are ready, swap them in. Until then, AI images let you launch immediately and start collecting waitlist or pre-orders.
Launch and start selling
Connect a custom domain and payment processor. Take orders the same day. Buddy stays in your dashboard for ongoing changes through chat.
Built for the niche
Why an AI agent is right for a boutique
Generic ecommerce platforms make you adapt your business to their templates. Buddy adapts to your niche.
Style consistency without design skills
Boutiques live or die by visual consistency. Buddy generates a cohesive aesthetic across product cards, hero, and category pages without you touching design tools.
Launch new collections fast
Drop a new seasonal collection by chatting with Buddy. New category, new products, new banner, all generated in minutes instead of a weekend of work.
No platform fees on your sales
Most boutiques run on tight margins. Orderain charges Zero% platform fees so every dollar you earn stays yours.
Mobile-first storefronts by default
Most boutique shoppers buy on phones. Every Orderain store is SSR rendered and mobile-optimized out of the box, no theme tweaks needed.

Questions about
running a boutique.
Do I need real product photos to launch my boutique?
No. Buddy generates product images for your entire starter catalog using AI. You can launch immediately and replace images with real photos as you take them. Many boutique founders start collecting orders or waitlist signups before their first photoshoot.
Can I sell my own designs and dropship items in the same boutique?
Yes. Orderain supports any product type. You can have your designed pieces alongside curated dropship products, with different shipping rules or fulfillment per product. Buddy can set the structure up if you describe both types.
How do I handle returns and exchanges for fashion?
Orderain has built-in returns and order management. You set your policy in the dashboard or through chat with Buddy. Customer returns flow through the customer portal so shoppers can self-serve.
Can I sell internationally with multi-currency?
Yes. Orderain supports multi-currency display and multiple payment processors. For a boutique selling beyond your home country, this matters a lot. Buddy can help you configure regional pricing.
What does it actually cost to run a boutique on Orderain?
$1 for your first month on any plan, with everything on that plan switched on. After that, plans are $5/month for Starter, $14 for Solo, and $39 for Team. No transaction fees ever, so the only cut on a sale is your payment processor’s.
Launch your boutique with AI.
Keep every sale.
