Manifesto

Why we built Chanis

We think selling what you make should feel as natural as posting it. Here is what we believe — and what we refuse to build.

  1. 01

    Your audience is already here

    You did the hard part. You built a following, post after post, by showing up. The last thing you need is to start over on a platform nobody knows you on. Chanis meets your business where it already lives — on Instagram — and turns the feed you have into the shop you want.

  2. 02

    A shop should look like its maker

    Most store builders hand you a grid of identical templates and call it choice. We think the opposite. Your storefront should carry your colours, your type, your feel — pulled from the work you already make — so a buyer never feels the seam between your post and your product page.

  3. 03

    Software should do the boring parts

    Writing the same description twenty ways, resizing images, sorting items into categories — this is work a computer should do so you can do the work only you can. We point our AI at the tedium, never at replacing your taste.

  4. 04

    Your money is yours

    Your customers pay you directly and the money never passes through us. We are not a marketplace that holds your funds, ranks you against your peers, or owns your customer list. You are the merchant of record. We are just the software.

  5. 05

    Fast is a feature

    Your buyer is on a phone, on cellular, halfway out the door. Every hundred milliseconds is a sale on the line. We obsess over speed so you never lose an order to a spinner.

  6. 06

    Earn the next month

    No lock-in, no contracts, no holding your store hostage. You can export and leave whenever you like. We would rather earn your subscription every month than trap you into it.

If that sounds like the way you want to sell, we would love to have you.
