Free shop for Instagram sellers

How to sell on Instagram with a free online store

Everything you need to set up your free Instagram shop on azbu, process orders with UPI payment screenshots, ship with tracking and use every feature to grow your Instagram business.

Seller onboarding: set up your free online store

From sign-in to your first order in six steps.

  1. Step 1

    Sign in for free

    Tap Seller Portal and sign in with Google. There's no fee, no commission and no website to build — your free online store is ready in minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Set up your shop

    Add your shop name, Instagram @handle, UPI ID and WhatsApp number. Upload your shop logo so buyers recognise your Instagram brand.

  3. Step 3

    Get verified

    Submit your Instagram page link, Aadhaar and business address. Once the azbu team approves you, you get a Verified or Gold Verified badge and customers can start buying.

  4. Step 4

    Add products

    Upload product photos with price and MRP, or paste an Instagram post link to import it. Pick from 15 categories like ethnic wear, jewellery, beauty, home decor and more.

  5. Step 5

    Put your store link in your Instagram bio

    Copy your shareable store link (or QR code) from the dashboard and add it to Instagram → Edit profile → Links. Followers can now browse your full catalogue in one place.

  6. Step 6

    Push offers on WhatsApp

    Create a campaign with a banner or products and send it to your past customers on WhatsApp in one tap, or share it to groups and status.

How to process orders on azbu

Direct UPI to your bank, verified by payment screenshot.

  1. Step 1

    Customer places an order

    The buyer adds your products to cart and checks out with their name, phone and delivery address.

  2. Step 2

    Customer pays you directly by UPI

    azbu shows your UPI ID and a QR code with the exact amount and order ID pre-filled. The money goes straight to your bank — azbu never holds it.

  3. Step 3

    Customer uploads the payment screenshot

    After paying, the buyer uploads the screenshot (and UTR). You get a WhatsApp alert from the customer.

  4. Step 4

    You approve and mark it paid

    Open Seller Portal → Orders → Review Screenshot. Match it with your bank app, then tap Approve & Mark Paid — or Reject with a note so the customer can re-upload.

  5. Step 5

    Update delivery status

    Move the order through Packed → Shipped (add courier and tracking number) → Out for delivery → Delivered, and send the customer a WhatsApp update each time.

  6. Step 6

    Collect ratings

    Customers rate your store after payment is approved. Your star rating shows on every product card and helps you win more buyers.

Use azbu to its full potential

Tips from top Instagram sellers to grow sales and ratings.

  • Use clear, well-lit photos and the same product names you use on Instagram so buyers find you in azbu search.
  • Always show the real product — misleading or unmatched products lead to an instant ban.
  • Approve payment screenshots quickly; fast confirmation builds trust and better ratings.
  • Add a courier name and tracking number when you ship so customers stop asking “where is my order?”.
  • Run a WhatsApp offer campaign every festival season (Diwali, Rakhi, Eid, wedding season) to bring back past buyers.
  • Pin a story highlight on Instagram called “Shop” with your azbu store link and QR code.
  • Reply to customers on WhatsApp within a few hours — unanswered buyers file complaints.

Zero tolerance towards scam

Sending any misleading or unmatched product gets your shop an instant ban. New shops using the same UPI ID, phone number, Instagram handle or account are banned too. Payments go directly to sellers — refunds and cancellations are the seller's responsibility.
