How it works
From idea to first sale in three simple steps.
Open your shop
Name it, tell your story, and pick whether you're a maker or selling pre-loved finds. Takes about two minutes.
List your items
Snap a few photos, set your price, and publish. Handmade originals or one-of-a-kind treasures. Both belong here.
Get paid
We're the merchant of record. We collect every payment, then release your share to your Alternae wallet after each order. Withdraw anytime; no payment account to set up.
For makers
Open a Business shop to sell your handmade goods, vintage curations, or craft supplies. Build a brand, tell your story, and reach buyers who value the handmade.
- Stock with variants & quantities
- Showcase your craft & process
For pre-loved sellers
Open an Individual shop to sell the things you no longer need. No business required, just snap, list, and give your pieces a second life.
- List one-of-a-kind finds in minutes
- Reach buyers worldwide
