What is Eccolo?
Eccolo is studio management software for independent makers. It runs both sides of a studio in one place: orders, from wholesale to custom commissions, and the production runs that keep your shop and shelves stocked.
Who is Eccolo for?
Solo makers and small studios who take commissions and sell at shows: ceramicists, jewelers, leatherworkers, woodworkers, designers, upholsterers, artists, and anyone making by hand.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every new studio gets 30 days free with every feature and no limits.
If I already sell on Shopify or Etsy, do I still need Eccolo?
Yes, they do different jobs. Shopify and Etsy are your storefront: they handle the customers who click buy, get their order shipped, and hopefully come back for more. Eccolo is the studio behind the shop: production runs that keep your web shop stocked, orders and portals for wholesale clients so you can grow, and the special orders your VIP clients ask for. Eccolo doesn’t connect to Shopify or Etsy yet, so update quantities in Eccolo when something sells there.
Do my clients need an account?
No. Clients get a private link to their order, protected by a password you set.
How do clients pay me?
Connect Stripe to take card payments, or add your PayPal, Venmo or Zelle handle so clients can pay you directly. You can log any payment by hand too.
Can I switch between monthly and annual billing?
Anytime. Paying yearly costs less: Studio is $12/month billed annually instead of $15, and Studio Pro is $20/month instead of $24.
