Onboarding is seamless
Our platform features integration with Shopify. That means your inventory automatically populates with minimal effort. We also offer a Bulk Importer for sellers using other platforms. Now you have another vehicle to sell products and reach new customers. Best of all, we have dedicated Marketplace Ambassadors to ensure your experience is always top-notch!
There is no fee to join
There are no upfront fees or initial investment. When you sell a product, we earn a commission in line or lower than other marketplaces. In many cases, the commission is lower than current discounts you may be currently offering in your store. When you’re successful, we’re successful.
