Pre-orders
"When is the new batch coming? Abeg keep two for me." Your supplier wants ₦180,000 and you don't have it yet, so you wait, and half the people who said "keep one for me" forget. Pre-orders let customers pay now for stock that hasn't arrived. You buy the stock with their money.

You post a new bag on your status and the DMs start: How much? Is it still available? What size is it? Can it carry a laptop? You answer the same questions again and again, and the people who don't want to ask just scroll past. A good product page answers them before they ask.

Your tote bag is selling, then a customer asks: "Do you have a bigger one?" You do, for ₦16,000. So you add a second product for the large one. Now your shop has two of the same bag, the stock is split, and someone pays for the small when she wanted the large. Use options instead.
