How to start a boutique.
The steps marked “Your AI team does this” are the ones SoGood builds from your brief. The rest are yours, and they come first.
01
Define your style and customer
Pick who you dress and how: relaxed coastal basics, workwear for young professionals or vintage-inspired dresses. A clear style decides what you buy, how you shoot it and who your ads reach.
02
Source your first stock
Buy from wholesale suppliers, trade shows and independent designers, or mix in a few pieces under your own label. Start with small quantities across a tight range of sizes and styles, then reorder what sells.
03
Choose online, a storefront or both
Online keeps costs low and lets you test demand. A storefront adds rent and staff but brings walk-in shoppers. Register your business, check what your city or state requires for selling retail, and price each piece after adding up cost, shipping and returns.
04
Build a brand with a clear look
Your AI team does this
Your AI team works out a name, a logo and a brand kit, and turns your product photos into clean studio shots and styled campaign images.
05
Open your online store
Your AI team does this
A website with your collection, sizing details and your story. On Pro it runs on your own domain and takes payments.
06

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to start a boutique?[ + ][ − ]
An online boutique mostly needs your first stock, photos and packaging. A physical store adds rent, fixtures and staff. SoGood is free to start. You upgrade to Pro only when you want the full website on your own domain and ads.
Where do boutiques buy their clothes?[ + ][ − ]
From wholesale suppliers, online wholesale marketplaces, trade shows and independent designers. Order samples before committing, check the quality and fit yourself, and look for suppliers with low minimum orders while you learn what sells.
Should I start a boutique online or in a store?[ + ][ − ]
Online is the lower-risk start: you can test your style and pricing before signing a lease. Many boutiques add pop-ups or a small storefront once they have regular customers. Your AI team builds the brand and store either way.
Am I still in charge?[ + ][ − ]
Always. Your team checks in before anything ships. You say yes or no, and they take it from there.
How much does SoGood cost?[ + ][ − ]
Free to start, with enough to test an idea. Pro is $49/month when you're ready, with no long-term contract.
How fast can I launch?[ + ][ − ]
Fast, when you’ve answered enough for your team to build. Of the founders whose site went live, half were live within about 20 minutes of signing up and nine in ten inside a day. Payments and a custom domain need a few steps only you can do.
Can I cancel anytime?[ + ][ − ]
Yes. Plans are month-to-month. You keep everything that’s already shipped — your site, your assets, your data, your accounts.
Start free with your first business case and a draft landing page. Pro adds a full website on your own domain, a brand kit, SEO, payments, ad campaigns and 1,225 credits each month.
Credits cover AI usage; ad spend is billed separately.
