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. Makers from over 80 countries are following their passion and selling their craft on Amazon. Together, we are growing craft communities and successful businesses.
Pro selling fee waiver
Amazon waives the Professional Selling fee of $39.99 per month for all Handmade-approved applicants, a savings of $480 per year.
Save time with FBA
With Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), you store products in Amazon's fulfillment centers, and we pick, pack, ship, and provide customer service for these products.
Maker only
We have a maker application and audit process to ensure we're building a shop of genuinely handcrafted goods.
No hidden fees
Creating a shop is free when you join Handmade. When you make a sale, Handmade will deduct a 15% referral fee—no additional listing or payment processing fees.

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 makers 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 Handmade products in the Handmade store and continue selling your other products outside of Handmade.
Do I have to reapply if I already sell with Handmade in another country?
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.
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. 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:
- Go to Settings, and then select Account Info.
- On the Seller Account Information page, go to the Your Services section and click Manage.
- In the Sell on Amazon row, under the You are signed up for section, click Upgrade.
- 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.
