Resin art has exploded in popularity across India. From fluid art coasters to personalised jewellery trays, resin artists are finding a huge market online. If you create resin products and want to turn your hobby into a sustainable income, Shopify is a great platform to build your resin art business.
This guide covers everything from what resin products sell well in India to setting up your store, pricing your art, and reaching customers online.
Resin Products That Sell Well on Shopify in India
- Resin coasters — marble effect, gold flake, floral inclusions
- Personalised jewellery trays and organisers
- Resin serving trays for the dining table
- Bookmarks with pressed flowers in resin
- Resin clocks and wall art
- Custom name plates and door signs
- Resin earrings and jewellery
- Cheese boards with resin pours
- Resin photo frames
Personalisation is a massive trend in resin. Coasters and trays with a person’s name or family initial are hugely popular as wedding gifts, housewarming presents, and corporate gifting items.
Setting Up Your Resin Art Shopify Store
Photography is everything for resin art. The shimmer, depth, and colour of resin work look stunning when photographed well. Use natural light or a lightbox. Shoot on white or marble-look backgrounds. Get macro shots that show the depth and detail of your pours. Customers buying resin products want to see the texture and finish up close before they commit.
Use a theme with a clean, editorial feel. Avoid cluttered layouts. Let your products breathe with white space. The Dawn theme or a premium theme like Prestige works well for craft and art stores on Shopify.
Pricing Your Resin Products Correctly
Resin artists often underprice their work because they forget to count their time and the trial pours that go into perfecting a product. Your price should include: cost of resin (both A and B parts), pigments, glitter, inclusions, mould cost (amortised over its life), energy (resin curing can use heat tools), packaging, your time, and profit margin.
A basic set of four coasters might use ₹120 of materials but take 2–3 hours of work across the curing stages. Price accordingly — ₹600–₹900 for a coaster set is entirely reasonable and buyers will pay it for quality handmade resin work.
Resin Safety — Important for Your Business
Resin is a chemical product and requires proper safety practices. Always work in a well-ventilated space and wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and an appropriate respirator when mixing resin. Uncured resin is a skin sensitiser and can cause allergic reactions with repeated exposure.
On your Shopify product pages, note that your resin products use non-toxic, food-safe epoxy if applicable (and only claim this if you genuinely use certified food-safe resin). For coasters and serving trays, buyers will want to know if they are safe for hot cups or food contact.
Apps to Power Your Resin Art Shopify Store
- Kickflip Personalizer — let customers add custom text for personalised resin products
- PreOrder Now — essential for made-to-order resin products with a production window
- Loox — photo review galleries show resin products in customers’ homes beautifully

Marketing Your Resin Art Business Online
Resin is extremely visual and process videos perform brilliantly on Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. A 15-second pour video or a satisfying demould clip can go viral and bring thousands of visitors to your Shopify store. Post consistently and use hashtags like #resinart #resinIndia #handmadecoasters #resinjewellery.
Pinterest is also highly effective — resin art pins stay relevant for a long time and drive consistent organic traffic. Create boards by product type and style — “marble resin coasters”, “gold and white resin trays”, “floral resin bookmarks”.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special licence to sell resin products in India?
No special licence is required to sell resin art products in India as long as you are selling finished, cured products (not raw chemicals). If your annual turnover exceeds ₹20 lakh, you will need GST registration. Always use properly cured resin — uncured or partially cured resin can cause skin irritation and would be a product liability risk.
What is the best epoxy resin brand available in India?
Popular epoxy resin brands used by Indian artists include Craft Resin India, Epodex, and ArtResin. For jewellery and smaller detailed work, UV resin is popular. Many artists source resin from suppliers on Amazon India or directly from wholesale chemical suppliers in cities like Mumbai and Chennai. Always test a new batch before committing to a production run.
How do I handle refunds and returns for custom resin orders?
Make your refund policy clear upfront. Most resin artists have a no-refund policy on custom and personalised orders, which is standard and accepted in the handmade market. For non-customised products, offer exchange or store credit in case of damage during shipping. Always photograph items before dispatch as proof of condition.
