What it is
An artisan product-catalog app is a visual web catalog for a maker to showcase handmade or made-to-order pieces, with photos, materials, dimensions, and the story behind each item. It gives craftspeople a browsable portfolio-shop where buyers can discover work and enquire, without needing a marketplace stall.
What your artisans product catalog tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for artisans.
Piece name / title
Handmade work is individual, so a distinctive title gives each piece identity and helps buyers refer to it.
Materials
Buyers of craft care what it's made of (walnut, sterling silver, wool), so materials are central to the appeal.
Dimensions / weight
For handmade goods there's no standard size, so exact dimensions help buyers picture the piece in their space.
Made-to-order vs one-of-a-kind
Whether a piece is unique or repeatable changes how a buyer acts, so this status sets expectations.
Price / price range
Custom work varies, so a price or 'from' range tells buyers where the piece sits before they enquire.
Lead / production time
Handmade takes time, so a realistic lead time prevents disappointment on made-to-order pieces.
Photo gallery
Craft sells on detail and texture, so multiple close-up images do the heavy lifting for the sale.
The story / process
Buyers pay for provenance, so a short note on how or why a piece was made adds real value.
Care instructions
Handmade materials need specific care, so this field builds trust and reduces later questions.

Frequently asked questions
Can buyers purchase and pay for a piece directly?+
Not with a built-in checkout. Kleap presents your pieces beautifully and can include an enquiry or commission-request form, but it does not take card payments. For handmade and made-to-order work this suits the usual flow: a buyer enquires, you agree on the piece and price, and you invoice or send a payment link yourself.
Can I mark a piece as sold or one-of-a-kind?+
Yes. Status is just a field, so you can flag pieces as one-of-a-kind, available, or sold, and update them as work moves. Because it's your own catalog, you control exactly how each unique piece is presented.
Can I show made-to-order pieces with a lead time?+
Yes. A lead-time or production-time field lets you set honest expectations on commissions, and you can pair it with a 'from' price range since custom work rarely has a single fixed price.
Is there an app people install to browse my work?+
No native app. Your catalog is a responsive website that looks good on phones and desktops, so anyone can browse it via a link you share on Instagram or in person — no App Store download required.
