Select a Membership Plan
Choose the right membership plan for your business needs. Our platform currently supports only digital craft-related products, such as patterns, tutorials, and guides. Physical products are available for sale only through a few approved stores in a test phase, with the possibility of future expansion.
We offer three membership options:
🟢 Starter Digital – A great way to begin selling on our platform with zero platform commission.
- Duration: 2 months (non-renewable).
- After the plan expires, you will need to choose either the Standard Digital or Pro Digital plan.
- Ideal for new sellers who want to test the platform with no commission fees.
🔵 Standard Digital – A flexible, commission-based plan for sellers with a modest sales volume.
- No fixed monthly fee, but a platform commission is deducted from each sale.
- The plan is ongoing and can be upgraded to Pro Digital at any time.
- Suitable for sellers who prefer a pay-as-you-sell approach.
🟣 Pro Digital – A plan with a fixed monthly fee and zero platform commission on sales.
- Designed for high-volume sellers who want to maximize their profits.
- The plan is ongoing and can be downgraded to Standard Digital anytime.
Choose the plan that best fits your business and start selling today!
Register as a Vendor
After selecting your membership plan, you will be redirected to the vendor registration page.
A detailed step-by-step guide [Become a seller] will walk you through the registration process and setting up your online store.
The guide also explains how to connect a payment account to your store (Stripe or PayPal) based on your preference.
Once you’ve chosen your payment system and completed the setup, your store will be ready for sales!
Customize Your Store
Your online store is not just a space to sell products; it’s a showcase for your brand and creativity. Take the time to craft a store that reflects your vision and values.
Add a banner and logo to personalize your shop, write an engaging “About” section that tells the story of you and your products, and clearly outline your store’s terms, conditions, and policies.
You can also set your store’s working hours and manage vacation periods to keep customers informed and engaged.
List Your Products
You have the option to add your products manually or, if you’re already selling on platforms like Etsy, you can quickly import your listings in just a few minutes.
For a step-by-step guide on how to import your product listings in bulk from another platform (using CSV files) to DIY Markt, please refer to the Vendor Tools section (Export/Import Products).
If you prefer to add your products manually, you can follow this helpful guide: Product Settings.
Rules for Publishing Products on DIY Markt
To ensure a smooth experience when publishing your products, please follow these important guidelines:
1. Language
All product descriptions, seller biographies, store terms, conditions, and policies should be written in English. Since the platform’s original language is English and is automatically translated into other languages, we recommend using an online translator, such as Google Translate or Chat GPT, if you’re not confident in your English skills.
2. Currency
Prices must be listed in Euros (€). If your country uses a different currency, please use a currency converter to calculate the price in Euros. For buyers, the platform automatically converts prices into major currencies, including US dollars, British pounds, Canadian dollars, Australian dollars, Japanese yen, Chinese yuan, and others.
The payment systems used by the platform, Stripe and PayPal, will easily convert your earnings into the currency of your choice, making it convenient for sellers worldwide.
Start Selling
Once you have completed all the steps above, your store is ready for sales! However, remember that its growth and success depend not only on the platform but also on your personal efforts.
- Optimize your store’s SEO to improve search visibility.
- Promote your products on social media, sharing links on your pages and in relevant groups.
- Use high-quality photos and detailed product descriptions to attract more buyers.
- Offer discounts, promotions, or free shipping to encourage purchases.
- Engage with customer reviews—respond to questions and improve your service.
- Regularly update your inventory to keep your store fresh and appealing.
You can find detailed instructions on these and other essential aspects in the Seller Handbook. Wishing you great success and strong sales!
