Why I Built InnoStore: Helping Vendors Move Beyond “DM to Order”
When I started building software, I mostly built tools for developers.
But something kept bothering me.
In many small businesses — especially in emerging markets — selling online still means:
- “Send me a DM”
- Manual price negotiation
- Screenshot payments
- No inventory tracking
- No proper analytics
It works… until it doesn’t.
As orders grow, chaos grows.
So I started building InnoStore.
A simple platform that allows vendors to:
- Create a branded online store
- Add products and manage inventory
- Accept payments
- Track orders
- See analytics
All without technical knowledge.
I didn’t want to build “another Shopify clone”.
I wanted to build something:
- Lightweight
- Focused
- Affordable
- Designed for small vendors
This is still early.
But I’m building it in public.
