Join our artisan-only community of sellers

Joining Handmade, creating your shop, and listing products is free. When you make a sale, Handmade will deduct a 15% 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 CAD $29.99 a month + selling fees per month for an Amazon Seller, this monthly fee is waived for Handmade artisans after the first month.

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 on 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.

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.

No problem! Once you complete your Handmade application and are approved to sell, you can list your Handmade products in the Handmade store and continue selling your other products outside of Handmade.

If you already sell with Handmade on Amazon.com, you can also sell on all three North American stores (Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.mx) 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 five European stores (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es). Please note, you will be responsible for complying with all rules and regulations for each country that you do business in.

You can check your application status with your email and confirmation code.

If you created an Individual account, you will need to upgrade to an Amazon Professional selling account once you’re approved. This will allow you to take advantage of all the features offered to Amazon sellers to help grow your business. To switch from an Individual selling plan to a Professional selling plan:
<sup>1. Go to Settings, and then select Account Info.
2. On the Seller Account Information page, go to the Your Services section and click Manage.
3. In the Sell on Amazon tab, 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.</sup>

If you have not applied to sell on Handmade, just click here to get started. Once you are approved to sell on Handmade, the monthly fee will be waived for approved applicants after the first month. For additional support, you can contact our Handmade Support team or go to ‘Get Support’ and choose ‘Selling on Handmade’.
