Frequently Asked Questions

It all comes down to two things: shipping and taxes. These things become much more complicated to handle once international orders come into the picture. We want to make sure that we are appropriately following all regulations that are required of us. Since we are located in the United States, the easiest way for us to stay compliant is to limit our business operations to the US.

That said, we don't want it to be like this forever! We hope to open things up to international sellers and customers as soon as we are sure that all of our processes are up to snuff.

Take a look at our Seller Fees page for up-to-date information about Handcrafted fees.

When a store-owner lists a product for sale, they include the weight and dimensions of the product. When a customer hits checkout, we look at all of the items in the customer's order for the store, calculate the total dimensions, determine the smallest appropriate package/box that the items will fit in, and send that data off to our shipping partners. They use that data to determine the shipping costs that appear on the checkout page for an order.

Yes! When you sign up for you seller account, you will also create a "connect" account with our payment processor: Stripe. Since Stripe takes care of transferring you payments for every order, they are also able to generate 1099s for you. Handcrafted will work with Stripe once tax time comes around to ensure that you get the applicable tax documents.

When you request a new password, you will be sent an email containing information on how to reset your password. This email will include a one-time login link. Clicking on that link will log you into your account, allowing you to reset your password. It's important to note that this link truly does only work once. If you try to use it more than once then you will hit the "access denied" page. If this happens, you'll need to request a new password again and make sure that you are using the link from this email and not the old one.

If you are sure that you are doing the steps correctly and are still encountering errors, you can reach out to us via the live chat widget or our contact form.

Affirm is offered as a payment method for all orders less than $30,000 that do not contain a home trial. To pay with Affirm, simply select Affirm as the payment method during checkout and then follow the instructions as they are provided. Financing is only available up to $20,000, with anything over due up front. That is to say, if you use Affirm to purchase a $25,000 order, $5,000 is due at purchase with the remaining $20,000 being financed.

For sellers, Affirm is offered automatically at no extra charge and with no extra setup required. The only difference is that the payment processing fee in the background is 6% compared to the normal 3%, but that's still included in your regular platform fees. When a customer pays with Affirm, you will be paid out in full right away, just like if they'd paid with a credit card. All installments, collections, etc, are handled by Affirm without intervention by you or Handcrafted.

Note: Payment options through Affirm are subject to eligibility, may not be available in all states, and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. CA residents: Loans by Affirm Loan Services, LLC are made or arranged pursuant to a California Finance Lenders Law license.
