Your leather crafts look incredible! They look like very well-preserved museum artifacts!

I’d prefer just doing email orders because then I could customise the product pages myself here on my website (ᵔ́∀ᵔ̀;;) and tie that into the point and click experience

direct e-mail orders are fun, though I think they could be seen as "sketchy", as you depend on the seller to answer and give you updates. most other stores would have an UI that shows you mostly in real time some data about your order (even if you don't get a tracking number). I'd say go for both? if you can handle that then you'd get the best of both worlds with the caveat of dealing with two systems

Ooh yes, the email orders seem very fun! I don't know about the inherent trustworthiness of ko-fi (until now I didn't even know you can have a store there in addition to "patreon"-subscriptions), but given how bad actors have ruined the reputation of Etsy stores for me, I wouldn't find email orders much less trustworthy if the rest of the website seems genuine enough. I would suggest to... (character limit)

...focus on making the email orders and the store on your website the best it can be and, if it doesn't eat up too much effort, run a relatively basic "regular" online store via something like ko-fi. I honestly wouldn't be able to estimate how much more or less traffic you'd get from people that don't already follow your monastery-website and who, therefore, already have quite a lot of sympathy and trust towards you.

@crota-gurdy thank you!! since I would only really be selling surplus more or less "for fun", not because I need to make money, I am not that concerned about traffic, so I hope I can make email orders work in some way or the other :)) just from a personal experience, internet selling through a third-party platform like Kofi just seems to have inherently more trustworthiness which I completely understand

@blamensir Mhmm, I think starting with both options is definitely not wrong. You can then see what resonates the most with people and if one vastly outweighs the other, you can still decide if you want to stick with only one

Offtopic, but while I have you here: Is there some notification or other way to see when someone commented on a post of another or do I just have to scroll down the Activity page and check manually?
