It is free to create your store and list items for sale. Like traditional instrument shops, there is a fee when an instrument is sold, but Handcrafted rates are even lower.

Traditional Instrument Shop Fees

Consignment: 20-30% + ~3% for card processing
Wholesale: 40-50%

Handcrafted Fees

Online sales: 5% + processing fees
Invoices: 2% + processing fees

Processing fees range from 0.8% to 6%, outlined below.

Payment Processing Fees

Payment processing fees are the fees that are charged by our payment processor in order to accept payments, and vary depending on the payment method used. We have no control over these rates. Payment processing fees are charged on the full order total, including shipping and tax.

ACH/bank transfer: 0.8%, capped at $5.00
Credit Card: 2.9% + 30¢
Apple Pay: 2.9% + 30¢
Google Pay: 2.9% + 30¢
Affirm Financing: 6% + 30¢

For example, if you had an order for a $5,000 instrument with $25 shipping and $400 tax that was paid via financing, your fee breakdown would look like:

Handcrafted fee: $250 (5% * $5,000)
Payment processing fee: $325.80 (6% * $5, 425 + 30¢)
Total fees: $575.80

But let's say that you instead sold the instrument in person via invoice and the customer paid via bank transfer. Your fee breakdown would then look like:

Handcrafted fee: $100 (2% * $5,000)
