If you've been comparing crochet business apps, AQUORIA O.N.E puts the whole thing in one place: a shop link with your makes, stock that counts itself down, custom orders with a lead time, live selling on Facebook or Instagram, and payments matched to each order.
What gets messy as your crochet business grows
- Two buyers paying for the last bear in the same hour.
- Custom orders promised for 'next week' when each one takes a fortnight.
- PayNow transfers with no reference, matched to orders by guesswork.
- Live sales noted on paper as 'comment A3', then chased one by one.
- No idea which makes actually sell, or what a market weekend earned.
A shop link with stock that counts down
Your starter catalogue has a Crochet plushie at S$35 and a Knitted scarf at S$45, each with 5 in stock, and a Custom crochet order priced on quote that must be ordered 14 days ahead. Add your own makes with photos, colours as options and how many you have. When the last one sells, it shows as sold out on your link, so nobody pays for something you don't have.
Custom orders with a lead time
Customers can only choose a collection or delivery date for a custom piece that's at least 14 days away, or whatever lead time you set. Each order line carries a note, such as 'pastel pink, name ISLA, 25 cm'. For pieces you price after talking about size and yarn, add the agreed price to the order and take part of it before you start; the balance stays on the order until it's paid.
Live selling without the chaos
Go live on Facebook or Instagram as usual. Pick the items for the live and each gets a short code like A1 or B3 to show on screen. Buyers hold items themselves from a link or QR on screen, without posting phone numbers in public comments, and counted stock is held for each claim. When the live ends, every buyer gets one order to pay on your link by the pay-by time you set. Orders still unpaid after that are cancelled and the stock goes back on sale.
Payments, markets and what sells
Take PayNow by QR with the amount and order number filled in, card online once you've set up a payment account, or cash at a market stall from the counter screen on your phone. Reports show revenue by item and by channel, so you can see whether plushies or scarves earn more, and whether lives or your link bring in the orders. Promo codes and a stamp card bring regulars back.
Most makers run on Essential. If you take on helpers or open a second stall, Business adds staff logins, up to 3 locations and inventory to count yarn as supplies. Try it free for 14 days, then S$29 a month (Essential) or S$149 a month (Business). No card needed.

Questions
Is a crochet business profitable?
It can be, if your prices cover yarn and your hours, and you know which makes sell. AQUORIA O.N.E shows revenue by item and by channel, average order and repeat customers, so you can drop slow designs and restock the ones that move. Expenses can be written down with a photo of the receipt, so you see what's really left each month.
What are good crochet business ideas?
Common directions are amigurumi plushies, baby name pieces, bag charms, scarves and beanies for year-end travel, and custom gifts for weddings and graduations. Whatever you choose, list each as an item with a price, photos and colours, give custom pieces a lead time, and let your link take the orders while you crochet.
Can I sell my crochet on an Instagram live?
Yes. Start a live session in the app, pick your items and show each code on screen. Buyers hold items from your link or QR without posting phone numbers in public comments, and each gets one order to pay on your link when the live ends. Unpaid orders are cancelled after the pay-by time you set, and the stock is released.
What are some crochet business tips for custom orders?
Set a lead time so nobody expects a custom bear in three days, take part of the price before buying special yarn, and write the colours and size on the order, not in a chat. In AQUORIA O.N.E a custom item can require ordering 14 days ahead, each line keeps its notes, and the balance stays on the order until it's paid.
