Dozens of Independent Makers
Handmade Goods Marketplace
A crafts and home-goods store opens up to independent makers through invitation-based signup with manual review. A flat default commission applies across the board, with a lower override rate for the founding sellers who joined during the beta. Each maker sets their own flat shipping rate and free-shipping threshold, since a hand-thrown mug and a knitted blanket ship nothing alike. Payouts run monthly once a seller's balance clears a threshold. When a maker goes on leave for two months, she flips vacation mode and every listing goes quiet without her touching a single product page.
