The Operating System for the Artisan Economy
Marketplace · Preorders · Production · Inventory · Services
Everything makers need, finally in one platform.
Founding Vendor Program · Limited to first 40 vendors
Running an artisan business shouldn't require five different platforms.
Selling
→ Etsy
Preorders
→ Hotplate
Production
→ Craftybase
Scheduling
→ Calendly
Inventory
→ Shopify
Most makers juggle multiple platforms just to run their business.
- Different dashboards.
- Different fees.
- Disconnected workflows.
Craved Artisan brings the entire artisan ecosystem together.
Craved Artisan is the first platform designed to run the entire artisan economy.
$10 Sale Example
Craved Artisan: 4.1% + $0.10 per transaction. Merchant account fees not included in all examples.
