Home handicrafts are very popular, these 8 platforms are worth a try

Amazon's handicraft platform Handmade has great potential. After all, more than 63% of consumers search for products on Amazon first.

Sellers need to submit an application to join Handmade and must also sign up for Amazon's professional selling plan, which costs $39.99 per month. However, this fee is waived for Handmade sellers.

ArtFire is a platform similar to Etsy, where only handmade items, vintage items, and craft supplies can be sold.

The platform offers three selling plans, ranging from $4.95 to $40 per month, and the listing fee for a standard store is 23 cents per item.

One of ArtFire's most unique features is that it allows consumers to post ads if they want to make a specific item.

The platform allows sellers to access Google Analytics data and use Skype to connect with buyers, and sellers can also use third-party marketing tools.

One big difference from the Etsy platform is that Ruby Lane has a privacy shopping program. If the consumer experience is not good, Ruby Lane will contact the seller privately to provide feedback and suggestions.

Ruby Lane does not charge listing fees, but it does charge a maintenance fee, which is charged based on the number of products listed. In addition, the platform charges a 6.7% service fee, which is capped at $250.

More than 67,000 brands sell their goods on Storenvy, a platform that specializes in small, independent brands.

The platform mainly provides high-quality products, and its average selling price is higher than Etsy. The website regularly promotes sellers' products on social media, which can bring sellers more exposure compared to paid promotions on other platforms.

Storenvy charges a 15% commission on sales and no other fees.

Aftcra is also a website similar to Etsy. This platform has a very strict definition of handmade products, but as long as your work meets the requirements, you can easily register and sell it on Aftcra.

It costs nothing to open an Aftcra store and list items, but when an item sells, there is a 7% transaction fee.

Folksy is known as "the UK's largest online handicraft platform".

Like Etsy, Folksy charges an inclusion fee. It also charges a commission fee (6% + VAT on sales) and a transaction fee.

Spoonflower is primarily a handmade platform for selling decorative items, bedding, and other home goods. Sellers can also sell custom pattern designs.

The platform's commission rate is 10%.

icraftgifts is a Canadian handicraft platform, but the platform does not allow the sale of antiques and handicraft materials. The platform charges a registration fee of $25, and there are package protection options for sellers, ranging from $10 to $15 per month, and does not charge listing fees, commissions, or transaction fees.
