8 Best Places To Sell Handmade Items Online

Etsy has become synonymous with handmade items. Ask any crafts seller, and you’ll find they have an Etsy store. We get it: Etsy, with its zillions of ready-made buyers, makes for an attractive place to sell your handmade items on. 

But that doesn’t make it an ideal option for everyone. Maybe you’re looking for something that’s more niche, or a platform that allows for more customizations. Or maybe Etsy’s fees are just too high for you. 

Either way, you need an Etsy alternative. Read on for a list of 8 best places to sell handmade items online. 

1. Goimagine

Goimagine is a purely handmade marketplace + community for US-based artisans. Like Etsy, you can sell all sorts of handcrafted items, ranging from clothes and jewelry to art and collectibles. 

This platform’s created by and for true artisans, so everybody needs to go through an application process to get approved to sell. There are also different membership levels:

• Community (Free): 12 product listings; 6.5% transaction fees
• Thrive ($5/ month): 200 product listings; 5% transaction fees
• Mosaic ($15/ month): 1,000 product listings; 2% transaction fees

With the Mosaic plan, you can create your own storefront, complete with a custom domain, free SSL certificate, and USPS shipping integration! Cheaper than Shopify, but with all the necessary features included. 

New to selling your handmade products online? Goimagine also has a community forum where you can get advice from and connect with other sellers. The best part about this platform, though? They donate 2% of all purchases to charities!

Since Goimagine (and all the other websites on this list) are not as well-known as Etsy, you might have to do a little promotion of your own to get more buyers — either through strategic guest posting, link building, or through social media.

2. Society6

Made specifically for artists and designers, Society6 helps them market and sell their products online. You can sell home decor products, art prints, phone cases, and clothing and accessories — as long as they have your original designs on them. 

What we really liked about Society6 is that they highlight the artists every chance they get. Under each product, there’s an option to “see more from the artist” and shop their other designs. Each artist also gets their own shop page.

While Society6 used to be an open platform, since March 2025, they’ve updated their policy terms. They’ve pivoted towards a more curated approach where they select a few artists and showcase only their work. If you want to get in on the action, you’ll need to apply as an artist. Good news, though — it’s open to global artists.

Society6 takes a small percentage of each sale. With the new terms, they’ve also done away with their artist subscription plans and artist shipping fees, which means more profit for the artists!

3. Bonanza

While Bonanza isn’t made exclusively for handmade items, you can sell your crafts there and take away more profits when compared to Etsy. Each seller is given a virtual “booth” to showcase all of their products. There are no listing fees for up to 50 active listings per month. 

Bonanza advertises your products on your behalf and only takes a fee when you make a sale. The platform also has a community where you can bounce ideas off of other sellers like you, and marketing tools like discount coupons for you to use.

Pricing:

• A one-time set-up fee: $14.99
• $0.25 transaction fee
• Final value fee: 11%
• A 1.5% flat fee on orders above $4,000 (applied only to the portion exceeding $4,000)
• A $0.03 listing fee per item per month, with a maximum of $20 per month (when you exceed 50 active listings per month)

4. Uncommon Goods

Uncommon Goods  is on a mission to sell the most unique handcrafted products out there. But it isn’t your typical online marketplace, though. The website has a team that ethically sources one-of-a-kind products from all over the world. So, if you want your product to be featured there? You’ll have to apply. UG also creates many products in-house.

If your product gets approved, you’ll sell it to UG at wholesale prices; they’ll take care of the retail sales. Any other commissions and fees are negotiated directly based on your product. 

UG is environmentally-conscious and donates $1 per purchase to a charity of the buyer’s choice. While you won’t get to sell directly to the customer, you can get a lot of visibility through this platform — especially if you have the same values as UG. 

5. Cratejoy

Do you make a few related items that would sell like hotcakes when bundled together? You could sell them as subscription boxes! And Cratejoy is the perfect website for that. You can sell anything there — a self-care box, a snack box with an assortment of healthy snacks, or even DIY garden/ art kits. Just make sure each month’s box is unique. 

The best thing about selling subscription boxes is that once someone signs up, you get recurring revenue from them! And hey, you can always charge top-notch prices for tailored boxes. 

You can either sell on Cratejoy’s marketplace, or create a custom storefront of your own! You need to pay a membership fee for both, though. 

• Selling on the Cratejoy marketplace: From $24.99 per month; 1.25% + $0.10 fees per transaction
• Your own website: $59 or $159 per month (depending on the features you want); 1.25% + $0.10 fees per transaction

6. Spoonflower

SpoonFlower sells unique print-on-demand fabrics, wallpapers, and home decor items (such as table napkins, bedding, etc.) designed by artists from all over the world. All you need to do is upload a digital file of your design to the platform and proof it to make sure it prints well. 

Once that’s done, upload your design for sale. When someone orders your design, Spoonflower will take care of the printing and shipping. You’ll get a 10% commission for each sale. There are also bonuses if you hit certain commission milestones in a month! Overall, selling here is a great way to make some money without a lot of effort. 

7. IndieCart

This one is for those of you who want to sell your handmade products online, but with minimal overhead costs. For a small all-inclusive fee of $7.50 per month, you can sell your handcrafted items on IndieCart — no listing fees or commissions from your sales. 

However, you will have to pay PayPal’s fees (since IndieCart only integrates with PayPal), so factor that into your selling prices. You also need to take care of all the labeling and shipping yourself. 

There’s no limit to the number of items you can list and sell. You’re also free to apply your own discount coupons and run sales whenever you want. In short, you get a no-frills website to sell your items on, and full control over how you run your online business. 

8. iCraft Gifts

iCraft Gifts is a Canadian-based marketplace that’s exclusively for handmade gifts. You can sell your handcrafted jewelry, clothing, accessories, bath and body items, toys and games, home decor, and craft items. Although it’s Canada-based, you’ll find a lot of US- and UK-based sellers as well. 

You get your own storefront where all of your products are displayed. iCraft Gifts also automatically promotes your items on social media and through newsletters. You can connect your iCraft store to Google Analytics for performance data. There’s also a forum where you can connect with other artisans like you.

Fees:

• A one-time registration fee of $25 USD
• A subscription fee, where a monthly package costs $15 USD, a 6-month package costs $12 USD, and a 12-month package costs $10 USD

No transaction, listing, or final value fees. However, you’ll have to take care of the shipping yourself.

Another good thing about iCraft Gifts is that it gives you a free .store domain for a year. Alternatively, if you want a .com domain, you can get one for 50% off. There are also a variety of sales tools (such as discounts) that you can use to boost your sales!

And that’s a wrap on the best places to sell handmade items online. None of these catching your fancy? You could always open your own store with the help of Shopify (or one of Shopify’s alternatives).
