Turn Your Instagram Bio into a Fully Stocked Shop: The Complete Guide to the Ficos Storefront

If you run a business on social media, you are likely wasting hours every day answering the same questions: "How much?" "Is this available?" and "Send me more photos."

Right now, you are the bottleneck. If you don't reply, you don't sell. It is time to change that by putting a proper shop link in your bio.

Here is how to set up your Ficos Storefront to make sales while you sleep.

1. Open Your Shop to the World (24/7 Sales)

The biggest benefit of a storefront is that it works when you are busy or sleeping. You do not need a web developer. If your products are on your phone, you simply toggle a switch to get a public website link.

Put this link in your Instagram or TikTok bio. Now, customers can browse your full catalog, check prices, and place orders without waiting for you to reply to a DM.

2. Build Trust with a Professional "Lobby"

First impressions matter. If a customer clicks a link and sees a messy list, they leave. They want to see a brand.

You can customize your shop’s "Lobby" (homepage) to look like a top-tier e-commerce site. Highlight your best-selling collections, new arrivals, or special offers right at the top. This makes your small business look like a big, trustworthy brand.

3. Stop Answering "What Sizes Do You Have?"

Sending photos back and forth via WhatsApp is exhausting. If you sell clothing, shoes, or anything with variations, you need to organize them.

By setting up "Variants" (like Size and Color), customers see exactly what is in stock. They select their size, add it to the cart, and buy it. This syncs with your inventory so you never accidentally sell the same item twice.

4. Automate Your Delivery Fees

Once the customer decides to buy, don't lose them by arguing about delivery costs in the chat.

You can set up "Delivery Zones" (like "City Center" or "Upcountry"). The system automatically detects where the customer is and adds the correct fee to their total. The customer pays the right amount, instantly.

5. Confirm Orders Without Saving Numbers

When a Cash on Delivery (COD) order comes in, you usually need to confirm it. Switching apps to save a number and message the customer takes too much time.

Use the built-in chat button to message the customer on WhatsApp directly from the order screen. It is faster, keeps your personal contacts clean, and ensures the order is real.

6. Keep Your Records Clean

Throw away the notebook. To grow, you need a digital paper trail.

A proper dashboard tracks every sale from "Confirmed" to "Dispatched." This ensures no order gets lost, the status is always clear, and every payment is collected on time.
