In this post, we’ll talk about payment processing fees: what they are, who charges them, and why they might change in the future.

We’ll also provide a simple calculator that helps artisans price their goods to cover the cost of fees.
In this post, we’ll talk about how we came up with our sales commissions, and what they are.

We’re announcing the launch of an exciting month-long campaign today with a question:
What if we could finance ourselves 100% through memberships and revenue?
This is our collective challenge this July!
We’re offering special perks – including a lower sales commission – for the first 25-100 artisans to join our Founders Circle. Let’s take back control from big marketplaces together!
Artisans Cooperative is now accepting its first members! In this post, we’ll share all the details about membership.
We’ve built the tools we need to develop a cooperatively-owned handmade marketplace. In this post, we’ll discuss how we’re going to pay for it all with our 5-stage fundraising plan.
