Custom order management

Custom order management for orders that start with a conversation

IntoPaid is custom order management software for makers who do not sell off a product page. The customer messages you. You turn that into a ticket, a Shopify quote, and a paid pickup date.

Sound familiar?

  • Custom asks live in DMs, email, and texts — never one list
  • You quote in Notes, then chase a deposit by hand
  • Shopify checkout is for catalog SKUs, not a messy conversation

What IntoPaid does

  • One ticket holds the customer, ask, quote, and pickup
  • Invoice from live Shopify products and variants
  • Paid in Shopify — ticket status updates when checkout clears
  • Pickup date locks so Saturday is not double-booked

The flow

Conversation → ticket → quote → Shopify checkout. IntoPaid is the layer in front of Shopify, not a second storefront.

  • DM or email becomes a numbered ticket
  • Quote from your live Shopify catalog
  • Customer pays in Shopify checkout
  • Pickup locks on the calendar when paid

Not a Request-a-Quote widget

Storefront quote buttons still assume the shopper is already on your site. Custom work usually starts in Instagram or email. That is the inbox IntoPaid is built for.

FAQ

Questions about this workflow

What is custom order management software?

It is software for work that starts as a conversation, not a product page. IntoPaid turns Instagram DMs and emails into tickets, builds a quote from your Shopify catalog, collects payment in Shopify checkout, and locks pickup when they pay.

Does IntoPaid replace Shopify?

No. Shopify still handles Product → Cart → Checkout for ready-to-buy SKUs. IntoPaid is the custom-order layer in front: conversation → ticket → quote → Shopify checkout. Catalog prices stay in Shopify.

Who is custom order management for?

Florists, bakeries, flower farms, makers, and caterers who quote bridal work, cakes, CSA buckets, commissions, and event menus from DMs and email — not shops whose customers only add a SKU to a cart.

How does a custom order get paid?

You quote from live Shopify products on the ticket, send a draft invoice, and the customer pays in Shopify checkout. They do not need an IntoPaid account. The ticket marks paid when checkout completes.

Can I take deposits on custom orders?

Yes. Send a Shopify invoice for a deposit or the full amount from the same ticket. Start production or hold the date when payment clears — not from a Venmo screenshot.

Where do Instagram DMs and emails go?

Both land in one ticket queue. Tag @intopaid on Instagram when you are ready to quote, or forward the email to your inbound address. The original message stays on the order.

Is this a Request-a-Quote button for my storefront?

No. Storefront quote widgets assume the shopper is already on your site. Custom work usually starts in a DM or inbox. IntoPaid tickets that conversation first, then quotes in Shopify.

How much does custom order management cost?

Basic is $29/month for tickets, Shopify quotes, invoices, and pickup. Grow is $79/month and adds win-back campaigns for idle quotes. Normal usage is included on both plans.
