Why the Craft World Needs a New Marketplace – And Why We Built One

The craft world is full of incredible talent, from paper craft and sewing to illustrators, jewellery designers, and everything in between. But despite the creativity and care that go into many craft businesses, they still struggle to find a platform that truly supports them.

That’s why we built CraftSource Market.

The Problem: Big Platforms, Big Challenges

If you're a craft business, you’ve likely faced at least one of these challenges:

• High fees that eat into your margins
• Lack of visibility in crowded marketplaces
• Minimal support or connection to a real community
• Pressure to discount or compete on price, not quality

Big platforms often favour the biggest sellers, leaving many brilliant craft brands buried in the noise or priced out entirely.

The Solution: A Fairer Way to Sell

We launched CraftSource Market to give all craft brands the space and support they deserve. Our marketplace brings together talented craft brands under one creative roof, with a model that’s built to lift you up, not drain your resources.

Here’s what makes us different:

• Commission-only model – you only pay when you make a sale (15% on a monthly basis)
• No upfront fees – no listing or subscription charges
• Community-focused – we champion every brand, big or small
• Built by makers, for makers – we get it, because we’ve seen it

CraftSource Market isn’t just another place to list your products. It’s a growing community of craft businesses and crafters, all working towards the same goal: supporting the craft industry, and getting fairly rewarded for it.

For Crafters: Discover Something Unique

Whether you're shopping for your next project or just want to support a craft business, CraftSource Market offers a fresh way to shop. Every order supports a business and their passion.

For Makers: We’d Love You to Join Us

If you're a craft brand looking for a more supportive space to sell without the pressure or platform politics, we’d love to hear from you.

We’re currently welcoming applications from UK-based craft businesses of all shapes and sizes.
