What we needed
A real home for the business.
- A dedicated web presence
- Customer and invoice management
- A storefront that is easy to make your own
Built from real side hustles
Made for the work you actually want to do.
I built Metner after my fiancée and I noticed the same problem from two different sides: I wanted to sell the things I make, and she wanted to offer party-planning services in our community.
We wanted a polished place to send people and a simple way to stay organized. Everything we found either did too little—or did far too much and cost a ton for what was supposed to be a side hustle.
A simpler route to local selling
- Your own web presence
- Customers and invoices together
- No forced payment processing
Why this exists
Small-business software should feel small on purpose.
The goal was never to recreate a giant commerce platform. It was to keep the useful parts, leave out the noise, and make something that feels right for selling to people nearby.
What we could do without
Complexity for complexity's sake.
- Shipping workflows we would never use
- Bloated software and crowded dashboards
- Payment fees eating into every local sale
What Metner is for
Keep the business part out of the way.
Do work you enjoy, for people near you, and let Metner quietly support everything around it.
-
01
Enjoy the work
Metner is built to handle the storefront and follow-through so you can spend more time making, planning, renting, or serving.
-
02
Grow at your pace
A side hustle does not need enterprise software on day one. Start with what helps now and add more only when the work calls for it.
-
03
Outgrow us freely
If your side hustle becomes a full-time business, that is worth celebrating. I will gladly help you move to the right next platform.
Built by a seller, shaped by sellers
You're here early. Help shape what comes next.
I use Metner for my own laser engraving and 3D-printing work. Everything I add starts with a real need—and early sellers can help guide where it goes next.
