Sell Flies

Fly buyers care about hook, size, colour and how many. This path puts those first and sends you to the shared guides instead of repeating them.

General guidance. Fields marked "where enabled" may not appear in your account.

#Before you start

  • An approved account. If you are new, use the application.
  • Three patterns you can tie well and repeat.

#Steps

  1. Finish your Storefront.
  2. Photograph each pattern: one close shot on a plain surface, one scale shot, one of the packaging.
  3. Decide how to sell it: a single fly, a dozen, or a bundle.
  4. One configuration at one price is a Simple Products listing.
  5. Several hook sizes or colours belong in one Variable Products listing.
  6. Add stock and lead time honestly, especially for flies tied to order.
  7. Set weight and dimensions for the packed box. See Orders, Shipping & Payouts.
  8. For seasonal or monthly boxes, read Subscriptions.

#Example: first three listings

A sensible launch for a new tier:

Listing one: Parachute Adams, size 14, one dozen (simple). Listing two: Woolly Bugger in sizes 6, 8, 10 and olive or black (variable). Listing three: a spring box announced later as a subscription.

#Details to state

  • Hook size and style, and whether barbless
  • Colour and options
  • Per-fly versus dozen pricing
  • Stock and lead time
  • Packaging
  • The right category

#Troubleshooting

Buyers ask for sizes I do not list.

Add them as variations once you can tie them reliably.
