Build an Instagram shop with UPI checkout (India)
If you sell on Instagram in India, you already know the grind: screenshots in DMs, “is this available?”, payment reminders, and lost orders. Hopsoo gives you a real storefront link for your bio — with UPI checkout and AI that answers routine buyer questions on the shop.
1. Sign up (no card)
Create an account with email OTP or Google. Name your shop, pick yourbrand.hopsoo.com, add your UPI ID. Every business gets 3 months free from creation — payment details are not required to start.
2. Choose a template
Pick Showcase, Boutique, Catalog, Lookbook, Link-in-bio, or another look. Change anytime. All features are unlocked from day one — there are no “Pro-only” templates.
3. Add products
Upload photos, prices, variants, and categories. Preview how they appear on your template before you share the link.
4. Put the link in your bio
Share your Hopsoo URL in Instagram bio, Stories, and Highlights. Buyers browse, bag items, and pay you on UPI.
5. Let AI handle routine questions
Instead of answering the same sizing and stock questions in DMs, point buyers to your shop. Hopsoo’s storefront AI answers using your catalog; anything that needs you lands in Messages.
Software pricing (per shop)
After the 3-month trial: ₹649/month or ₹5,000/year per business. Hopsoo’s fee is for the software — not a commission on your UPI sales.
