Our fees help us keep this platform running. Without these fees, we would not be able to keep running this marketplace, or promote you & your businesses. Handmade Home Co. is a small business. The backbone to our company is 1 person and her savings account. Every month HHC has to pay for marketing & advertising, website maintenance & upkeep, vendor account setups, specific shipping settings for each product, SEO, social media creation & content, transaction fees, and all of the other expenses to keep Handmade Home Co. up and running. We do not charge artists up front fees or monthly fees. The commission that you pay to HHC is only collected once a sale is made. Our commission fee compares very favorably to most other ways of selling, and ensure that we can provide you with the best service and experience possible. We’ve made our fees easy to understand so that you will never be confused about what your charges will be. This allows our artists to keep track of their books much easier. Handling the shipping, marketing & advertising for our artists are some of the key things that set us apart from the competition. Not to mention that those services all hold such high value when executed properly. It is a little unorthodox for companies to handle all of these aspects of the business for their Vendors, especially without asking for a monthly fee or an onboarding charge.  I started this business to help artists and their business thrive. I am going to do everything in my power to continue to do that to the best of my abilities. Apply To Become A Vendor for more information!
