Why shops ask for a white background
A pure white background puts all the attention on the product. Marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay and Etsy, and many online shops, show search results as a grid of small images, and a plain white backdrop makes every item easy to compare. A product photo with a white background also sits cleanly on a white web page, in a catalogue or in a price list.
You do not need a lightbox or a studio. Take the photo on a table, by a window, and let CutLift make the background white afterwards. Always check the current image rules of the marketplace you sell on, since each one sets its own.
