Frequently Asked Questions

What can I sell on Handmade in Chestermere?

Anything handmade, you must:

  • Physically make or create the original designs for your items.
  • Include each person involved in making your items or running your business in your shop.
  • If you work with a production partner, you must disclose that production partner in your relevant listings.
  • Use your own images in your listings.
What do I need to do to create a shop?

Product photos, pricing and description. Full access to a computer and some time to setup your store front listing/online shop. You will also need an email address and a bank account to accept e-transfers from admin for your sales.

How do fees work on Handmade in Chestermere?

You will be charged a yearly subscription fee of $50, $75, $100, or $125 per/year (dependant on your selection). This is for our pop-up market and for listing each item that you post in your online shop for sale on our online platform, plus everything else listed as included in your membership. Additionally, when you make a sale, you will be charged a transaction fee of 15% of the price you display for each listing (this is for virtual terminal checkout fees, bank fees, and admin fees). 

How do I get paid?

E-Transfer (Email money transfer to your bank account). You will receive 85%  of each sale price plus the shipping fees for each product sold, if applicable (this depends on what has been selected at checkout). Total sales of a calendar month will be paid out in the first 15 days of the next calendar month. Shipping fees at checkout are calculated using Canada Post shipping rates and all product weights and dimensions should be entered accurately (weight in kg and dimensions in cm) in product description.

Can I purchase a subscription package and photography?

Yes, but they have to be purchased in 2 separate transactions. A subscription package has to be purchased alone. Vendors may not purchase a subscription pack and another product from the Handmade in Chestermere shop at the same time. In short, if you’re a vendor, you need to buy a subscription pack, proceed to checkout with the cart, finish the transaction and then buy any other product.

When can I start adding products in my dashboard?

Once the checkout process is completed in my account and payment has been made via credit card or e-transfer, admin will manually approve you as a vendor to add products according to the pack to which you subscribed. 

Where can I see the remaining number of products I can add?

The remaining number of products you can add will show up on your vendor dashboard.

Will deleting a published product count against my quota?

Yes. If your subscription pack allows you to publish 10 products, you can only publish 10 products. However, if you delete one or more products after publishing them, your quota will be restored by the amount you deleted. So that if you delete two products, you can publish 2 products again.

What happens to my listings if my subscription expires?

They will return to draft mode and will not be public anymore.
