Do I have to buy stock or a sample first?

No. Nothing is made until someone orders. A sample is optional, and you can order one at cost plus Soshi’s fee.

No. Nothing gets made until someone orders, so there’s nothing to buy upfront and no inventory to sit on. Every order is made on its own, so there’s no minimum to wait for.

Ordering a sample

A sample is never required, but it’s a good way to check the quality or shoot photos and videos.

  1. Open your own listing and pick a size and color.
  2. Add it to your cart. Because it’s your listing, it’s priced as a sample: the cost to make it plus Soshi’s fee.
  3. Check out as usual. Shipping is added at checkout.
