Makers FAQs

We’re so glad you’re here. This platform was built to celebrate thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and creativity. We also want to make it easier for independent makers to reach the right audience. Here’s everything you might want to know before applying to sell with us.

Joining Among Makers

To become a maker you can apply on our website or be invited to join. We look over each maker’s work to make sure it sits comfortably within the values that shape Among Makers.
We select our makers with care so the marketplace reflects the creativity and quality of Nordic craftsmanship. We look for products that feel unique, are thoughtfully designed for real use, and evoke joy or beauty. Strong craftsmanship and timeless character matter to us, as does ethical production that respects people, animals, and the environment.

For food and drink, we focus on high-quality items suitable as gifts, and we do not accept products that require refrigeration.
No. You are allowed to sell your products on our platform without having a registered business. We accept both businesses and individuals to be sellers.
Yes. You retain full control of your products and are free to sell the same items in any other shop. We only ask that your pricing is consistent across all platforms. If one of your products sells out elsewhere and you no longer have additional pieces to offer, please remove it from our marketplace as soon as possible to avoid disappointing your customers.

Payments & Fees

When your product sells, the buyer pays through Stripe payment. Stripe will pay you for any sale after 7 days.
We take a 25% commission on each sale to cover transaction and marketing costs. There are no hidden fees or listing charges. Shipping costs will be added at checkout and managed by us.
Absolutely. You decide your retail prices. We only ask that the prices you list with us are consistent with your pricing elsewhere.

Shipping & Packaging

You do. Makers handle their own packaging and shipping. We recommend shipping sold products within 1–4 business days after an order is placed. For customized or made-to-order items that need a longer processing time, clearly communicate this in your product description.

Please follow PostNord’s packaging guidelines to ensure parcels can be machine-sorted, avoiding extra fees for manual handling.
No, you can list made-to-order items. Just inform the customer in the product listing how long it will take for the product to be ready for delivery.
We calculate shipping costs based on the parcel dimensions you provide.
Yes, we encourage combined shipping when possible to reduce packaging and emissions.
Keep packaging simple, sustainable, and safe. Use recycled materials and thoughtful personal touches. Remember that the unwrapping experience is part of your brand. Follow PostNord’s guidelines for machine-sorted parcels to avoid extra fees.

Returns & Refunds

Customers can withdraw from their purchase within 14 days. This does not apply to customised or made-to-order pieces. For non-customised items, customers must contact you within 14 days, return the item unused and in original packaging, and cover return shipping.
Once the seller receives and approves the returned product, Among Makers processes the refund via Stripe. Only the price of the item is refunded, not the original shipping cost.

We recommend 5–10 images per product.
