Hi Folksy Community, I am not sure if there is an area for made to order items, so thought I would start a new thread. I have not been doing well with sales and waiting for things to pick up before I start making new items and listing. Is there a way to list made to order items in the shop? Thanks I made this wax melt yesterday for a friends daughter. It is made of soy wax lightly dyed green and scented seasonal blend. If anyone is interested please contact me through folksy. I can make other colours or scents depending on what I have available. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/folksy/original/3X/c/d/cd9e2e539dcdf3dab235a55416187669b6982980.jpeg) ---

I do made to order items. List as normal add variations if applicable. Make it clear that these are made to order and take longer, remember to adjust the dispatch time. ---

Ok thank you. I will list when I make a new one. ---

Quite a few of my cards I make are made to order now and I tend to put ‘Made to order’ in the title as well as in the description just to make sure 🙂 for example: > **[Made to order Christmas twig hand embroidered card](https://folksy.com/items/7193612-Made-to-order-Christmas-twig-hand-embroidered-card)** > > This beautifully made card features a little twig with Christmas goodies hanging on it, all hand-stitched with added seed beads and buttons to add texture and a little sparkle, this card would make a perfect keepsake Christmas card.

I do a lot of custom orders/commissions, I write the listing with ‘Reserved for xxx’ or ‘Custom order for xxx’ in the title and again as the first line of description. if they are having it made as a gift for someone I make the first photograph my logo so the bear or doll isn’t on view. I email the customer when it is ready to pay for. I also have a couple of listings for custom orders, one for memory bears and a new one for pincushions, also a service of bear restorations in my shop if you want to have a look at how I have done mine. ---

Has anything been done about this category? It would be so useful as I list several ‘made to order’ items and don’t really want to add ‘quantity’ as don’t know how many orders I will get (if any). ---

Made to order it doesn’t really matter how many you put in the qty (I see you are a plus seller) When I’ve done made to order I generally put 10. If I don’t get 10 orders it doesn’t matter, if I get more I just adjust the qty as it gets low. ---

How DO you all get the photo to show up as well as the link, by the way? I can’t see an image on my reply. Am I copying the link wrong or do I need to upload the photo separately? ---

Right click on the photo, then select “copy image link”. You paste that on your reply and it will bring the photo. If you want to add the box that says Folksy and it has a small pic with the description as well, all you need to do is to copy and paste the item number from the address bar (eg [https://folksy.com/items/000000](https://folksy.com/items/000000)), or select the title of your item, right click, select “copy link to highlight” and paste it on your reply as well. They will both appear on the preview, so you know it’s all gone well. I hope it makes sense x ---
