Tintage



After positing a Instagram [promotional reel](https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd9sB7rFtrY/) video on Instagram I got DMed about some some questions about Tintage.

**1. When did you decide you want to start your own business?**

Martin: I graduated from university in 2020. I’ve always wanted to start a company since I could remember. During the pandemic, every job was remote. I thought now was the right time to start a company now that I would be home anyways.

**2. How did you come up with the idea?**

Martin: Since the pandemic, I’ve seen more and more people add links to their bio offering a service or selling something.

**3. Why did you call it "TINTAGE"?**

Martin: I wanted something short and memorable. Oh and the domain name was available. I bought it back in 2016.

**4. What are your plans for the future?**

Martin: To expand and provide more tools to help people monetise earn money online

**5. How is Tintage any better than other "create your own website" companies?**

Martin: Tintage takes a unique approach to traditional "create your own website". Tintage focuses on the essentials. Customers want to do things quickly and easily.

Martin: Starting a business can also be costly. Tintage provides a free way to get started.

**6. Do you have plans for updates or more features?**

Martin: Yeah, can’t say exactly what but, let me know if there is anything you’d like to see.

**7. Are you scared of a certain outcome while running your business?**

Martin: There are always risks when running a business. Problems will be dealt with as they arise. But I think the most important thing to a successful outcome is not giving up.

**8. What are other kinds of businesses that interest you personally?**

Martin: Anything tech

**9. Were you influenced by something or someone that sparked your interest in ecommerce? (besides the standard culprits like garyvee..)**

Martin: I saw a gap in the market. I tried to set up a store 2 years ago with Shopify and it takes like a week to get everything fully set up even if you want to sell 1 item and the monthly fee is too costly when you’re starting out.

**10. If there is one thing you are working for be it making a name for yourself or a certain income. What is that one thing?**

Martin: To help people free up more time and do what they’re passionate about.

Tintage voted #1 Product on SaaSHub


Tintage is an all in one platform that allows you to create an online page, sell digital and collect payment from your audience.

People Increasingly spend their time on platforms and less on the browser. And Have you noticed how social media profiles are allowed to have one link?

That's prime real estate.

Tintage is a platform that lets you build your own digital store front. It is designed for the social media age.

**It comes with:**

- **Link in bio** functionality, so you can display all your links on one page
- **Integrated online store** solution (order management, dashboard etc)
- **Customisation** - Brand your store

You get your own store page where you can list the products you sell.  You can now accept payments directly Card payments, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

**Why?**

I’m making it because I tried to create an online shop and online community and took a week to set things up. Anyone should be able to make a site in minutes, list their products and services and charge for it.

It is an alternative to digital marketplaces allows direct audience sales

It is also useful for influencers and content creators to share affiliate links and link their digital profiles

So far I’ve built an app and web app from scratch and it’s ready to accept user. So far bootstrapped.

**How is it different from (Shopify, eBay, Depop, Etsy)?**

- Increase sales make it easy for people to buy your items
- We don't recommend your competitors' products to your customers. Other marketplaces recommend your competitor under similar items. We don't
- Easy to get started. Do it on your phone
- Full branding and customisation
- Setup custom shipping rate

### How does it work?

1. [Create and customize](https://dashboard.tintage.com/signup) your store page. title, description, background color
2. Add your products. Set price, title, description, stock upload images and set shipping rates
3. Connect your bank account so you can get paid directly through Stripe
4. You get a link you can share with audience or customers.
