Software Solutions for Curtain and Drapery Sellers
Curtains are made to a window, so the sale depends on correct measurements, a fabric choice and a stitching and fitting schedule. Sellers online split between ready-made panels in standard sizes and made-to-measure orders that need their own capture, pricing and production flow.
Take window measurements online and turn each into a priced stitching job.
A ready-made panel is picked from a shelf. A made-to-measure curtain starts as a window, a fabric and a drop, and ends weeks later on a rail.
Ready-made panel sellers
A seller holds panels in standard widths and drops and ships from stock.
Made-to-measure stores
A store sells fabric by the metre and stitches curtains to each window.
Stores with fitting teams
The store also sends a fitter to hang rails, tracks and the curtains.
The workflow for curtains.
- 1
Fabric and style chosen
A buyer selects a fabric, a pleat style and a lining from the options shown.
- 2
Measurements taken
Width and drop are entered per window, with a guide, or a measurer visits the site.
- 3
Quotation from fabric used
Metres needed come from width, fullness and pattern repeat, and the quote adds stitching and lining.
- 4
Stitching with the tailor
The cut size and heading go on a job slip to the tailor, who returns the finished panels.
- 5
Fitting and balance
A fitter hangs the curtains on the booked day and the balance is collected.
The challenges, and what they cost.
What is specific to this trade.
These are requirements we would confirm in discovery. They describe what the solution may need to handle. They are not features that already exist.
- Per-window measurements held on the order
- Fullness and pattern repeat rules by style
- A stitching status the counter can read
- Fitting visits booked against an order
What we would build for curtains.
Chosen from the commerce capabilities this business needs, not a list of everything.
Who works in the system, and what each can do.
What it would connect to.
An integration is confirmed only after its API, access and scope are checked. A connection that updates on a schedule is described as scheduled, not real-time.
- Online payment of advances and balances
- WhatsApp job updates for stores with a registered Business account
- The store’s fabric stock record, linked within an agreed scope
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide
- Your fabric list with widths and shade numbers
- Your pleat styles and the fullness each uses
- How your tailor receives and returns work
Settle the measurement form
We agree what a buyer must enter, since a missing value is a remade curtain.
Run ready-made first
Standard panels go live before made-to-measure, so checkout and shipping are proven on simpler orders.
What you receive.
- A window measurement form with a guide
- Stitching job slip and tracker
- Fitting calendar
How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Remakes caused by wrong measurements
- Made-to-measure jobs delivered by the promised date, against your baseline
Selling at home and abroad.
Window sizes, track types and fabric widths differ between homes and countries. A buyer abroad may not be reachable by your fitter, so measurement guidance matters more there.
The wider requirements for home décor are on the Home Décor page.

Questions about curtains e-commerce.
Can a buyer order curtains without a site visit?
Yes, with a measuring guide. For larger or costly orders your own measurer can still visit, and the visit is booked from the order.
Do you hold fabric stock?
The system records metres in hand by shade and lot. Buying fabric and cutting it remain your team’s work.
Is there a ready-made curtain product?
No. The made-to-measure flow is written for the seller, while ready-made panels run on the ordinary catalogue.
