How do Indian curtain shops calculate fabric yardage?

Curtain fabric yardage is calculated based on window track width, finished drop, pleat fullness (2.5x for American pinch pleat, 2.0x for eyelet), and fabric roll width (54-inch standard vs 110-inch extra width), adding 8 inches (20 cm) per cut drop for double bottom hems and buckram headings. FurnishMate includes a free instant calculation engine at https://www.furnishmate.in/tools/fabric-calculator.

Can external suppliers view purchase orders without logging in to FurnishMate?

Can my customers track their curtain order online?

Yes. Every order in FurnishMate gets a unique tracking link that you can share via WhatsApp. Your customer can see the production timeline, payment summary, and order status — all without needing to create an account or log in.

Does FurnishMate support GST invoicing?
