Why Handmade?

At Amazon, we obsess over customers and their desire for a trusted destination for handcrafted goods, which is what prompted us to start Handmade. Artisans from over 80 countries are following their passion and selling their craft on Amazon. Together, we are growing craft communities and successful businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the frequently asked questions about Amazon Handmade.
Who can sell on Handmade?
The Handmade store is available for artisans to sell their handcrafted products to millions of Amazon customers all over the world. Amazon uses an application process to add new artisans to the Handmade category to ensure customers are able to buy with confidence.
How do your fees work?
Joining Handmade, creating your shop, and listing products is free. When you make a sale, Handmade will deduct a 12.24% referral fee.

During registration, you will register with a Professional selling plan that provides you with Handmade-specific tools and support to grow your business. While the Professional selling plan costs £25 per month for an Amazon Selling partner, this monthly fee is waived for Handmade artisans.
What do I need to do to create a Handmade shop?
First, you will need to set up a Selling Account with Amazon. You can get started by visiting, How to start selling on Amazon. Once you have completed registration, you can apply to sell in Amazon Handmade, where we will request details about your products and business to ensure the integrity of the Handmade store. Once you are approved, resources are available to create your first Handmade listing and manage your business.
What categories are available on Handmade?
Handmade is open to Artisans who make Accessories, Artwork, Baby, Beauty & Personal Care, Clothing, Shoes & Handbags, Home, Outdoor & Home Care, Jewelry & Watches, Kitchen & Dining, Pet Supplies, Sporting Goods, Stationery & Party Supplies and Toys & Games. If you don’t see your category listed, this means we do not allow the sale of those items in the Handmade store. Popular categories not currently available include Digital or Downloadable Products, Food & Grocery items, and Electronics. You may consider registering to sell and listing your products in another Amazon store, or check back in the future to see if the category becomes available on Handmade.
What if I already sell in Amazon’s online store?
No problem! Once you complete your Handmade application and are approved to sell, you can list your products with Handmade too.
Do I have to reapply if I already sell with Handmade in another country?
If you already sell with Handmade on Amazon.co.uk, you can also sell on all five European stores (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es) without reapplying. Log in to Seller Central and choose your desired country from the drop down menu on the upper right corner of your screen. In addition, you can register to sell on our three North American stores (Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.mx). Please note, you will be responsible for complying with all rules and regulations for each country that you do business in.
I already applied. What's the status of my application?
You can check your application status with your email and confirmation code.
What happens if I created an Individual selling account?
If you created an Individual account, you will need to upgrade to an Amazon Professional selling account once you’re approved.

  1. Go to Settings, and then select Account Info.
  2. On the Selling partner Account Information page, go to the Your Services section and click Manage.
  3. In the Sell on Amazon row, under the You are signed up for section, click Upgrade.
  4. Review the terms on the next page, and then click Proceed to Upgrade. You will be returned to Your Services. A message will appear indicating that the upgrade process has started.
