WHAT IT SOLVES
The problem this pattern addresses.
Operators in the artisan space need verified vendors, a curated catalog, and direct payouts — features off-the-shelf craft sites do not give them. The marketplace must protect both maker and customer without making onboarding so heavy that vendors abandon signup.
HOW WE BUILD IT
How we configure the platform.
We configure Sharetribe Flex with a custom transaction process for handmade goods, an admin verification queue for new vendors, Stripe Connect Express for direct payouts, and listing moderation. KYC is split into a minimal signup check plus progressive verification triggered at first payout.
WHAT YOU GET
Deliverables on handover.
You receive a live craft marketplace, the vendor agreement template, an admin guide (PDF), payout schedule, and a Loom walkthrough. From the day of handover the platform can take vendor signups and process customer orders end-to-end.
