Software Solutions for Soft Toy and Plush Sellers
Soft toys are large for their weight, cheap to make and bought as gifts, often in bulk for events or promotions. Buyers choose by height and character, many want a name or message embroidered, and parcels are bulky. Sellers online need dimension fields, personalisation, bulk quotes and volume-based shipping.
Sell plush by height, fill and wash care, and handle bulky and bulk orders.
A teddy bear is bought for the person it will be given to. The height, the colour and the name on the ribbon all matter more than the model number.

A seller sells teddy bears and characters for birthdays and festivals and wraps them with a card.
Makers selling in bulk
A maker supplies plush to events, brands and shops in hundreds.
Personalisation studios
A studio embroiders names, dates or messages on plush made to order.

What we would build for soft toys.
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.
- Maker stock and size lists, from supplier files
- Carriers that price by volume, once their rate cards are understood
- Payment checkout in the account you already run
How the work runs, and what we need from you.
What you provide

Embroidery proofs are trialled on real orders before the option goes live.

How progress is judged.
Measures are agreed against your own baseline. We do not promise a result in advance.
- Embroidery orders corrected after approval
- Shipping cost against the price of plush
Selling at home and abroad.
Plush sold abroad is shipped by volume, and the freight may exceed the toy’s price. Fill and material documents are held by market, and your adviser decides what each listing may state.
The wider requirements for toys are on the Toys page.

Questions about soft toys e-commerce.
Can a buyer approve a name before it is stitched?
Yes. A proof is shown, and production starts only after the buyer agrees.
Can we quote hundreds of plush for an event?
Yes. A quotation is priced from your slabs, revised if needed and approved before it turns into an order.
Does the system know that a fill is safe?
No. It shows the fill and material documents you hold. Safety testing is the maker’s job.
