I reciently received my first custom order from a customer through my Etsy Store. This was my first custom order and a big learning experience for me.
I didn't have custom orders enabled in the store and didn't know you had to turn it on. It made it a little but more difficult. I had to go back and figure out how to do a custom order when I didn't have this capability installed.
Fortunately for me the customer ordered it in plenty of time for me to get the toy made. She didn't want anything unusual just a slight change in materials and colors and a more rustic look. No smooth high gloss shine and the wood grain showing through the finish.
All in al it was a good experience for me and I have since enable custom ordering in my store. I sure hope this doesn;t bite me over the Christmas holidays. However, having more orders than you can fill is probably a good thing over all.
The phone camera shot is what I sent the customer. She was quite happy with it.
The car wound up as a cake topper for a baby shower cake.
