FanRoute turns an Instagram bio link into a shop. Sellers list products with photos and rupee prices; customers tap "Order on WhatsApp" and pay the seller directly by UPI. No website, no checkout, no commission. Free link-in-bio; Pro is ₹249 a month.
In India a huge number of small businesses sell entirely through Instagram and WhatsApp: saree boutiques, home bakers, jewellers, makeup artists. Most have no website. A customer DMs "price?", and the seller replies with photos, rates and a UPI ID, one chat at a time.
FanRoute puts those answers in one shop link for the Instagram bio. Customers browse products with prices, tap "Order on WhatsApp" with the product already named in the message, and pay the seller directly by UPI. We never touch the money and take no commission.
The link-in-bio is free. The WhatsApp storefront is the Pro plan. Shop labels come in English, Hindi, Hinglish, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam.
I'd love feedback on the sample shop at fanroute.in/demo, and on what would make this more useful for sellers you know.

Who hunted FanRoute?
FanRoute was hunted by Yasvanth Udayakumar. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
