Give us a call and if we cannot answer we will call you back. We believe sometimes you just need to talk to someone when you need assistance. IndieMe staff is here to help and answer your questions.

IndieMe Artist Free Ads

We are committed to your success.

At times you may not get an order due to varied reasons. Maybe it is not a buyer's open to buy season, maybe they do not have the shelf space or maybe they have been busy and simply forgot.

Getting in front of these buyers is essential. We all know how important advertising and marketing your business is.

To help, we will gift every artist who has not received an order during a quarter a free Featured Item ad. You may receive an order off the platform, that is ok. If you did not receive at least one on the platform you will be gifted a free Featured Item ad to jumpstart your exposure.

No Commission/No Rules

We do not take a commission on orders placed. We strongly feel that money belongs to the artist. Our low monthly fee is something you can plan for & budget. Buyers help us keep that money in the artist pocket by choosing IndieMe for all your buying needs.

Artists manage your store as you wish. We do not dictate how you should operate. It is your store! We value that.

Just Released Features

Artists, you can now bulk add your Shopify store to IndieMe with the simple push of a button. Look for the option on your Manage My Products page or contact us for details.

Shop American Handcrafted

We're thrilled to unveil our latest endeavor: Shop American Handcrafted. Born from a grassroots nonprofit initiative, our mission is to shine a spotlight on the artistry of handcrafted goods throughout the US.

Our primary goal is to connect consumers with retail outlets that showcase American handcrafted treasures. How? Through a map featuring stores stocking handcrafted items from the US.

Your input is invaluable; you can submit stores to be included on our map and let us know of retail shows/festivals that you are a part of. Anyone can contribute to our cause by making tax-exempt donations to support the growth of Shop American Handcrafted. Every contribution, regardless of size, fuels our efforts in programming and nationwide marketing. Let's unite and cultivate a movement that celebrates the art of handcrafted and promotes year-round support for small businesses. Together, we can make every day a celebration of craftsmanship and community.

The Spa Marketplace

A home for handcrafted Bath & Body makers in the USA and Canada. Check out our new stand alone marketplace just for bath, body and wellness. Are you a maker of spa products? We welcome you to fill out an application today!

Virtual Chat

A feature that allows Buyers to connect with Artists in real time. Look for more tweaks and enhancements to this feature to make it almost like chatting in person.
