How does being a creator at Sacred Home work?
Sacred Home is built on the idea of connection, bringing together artists, makers, and soulful seekers who are all looking for something a little more meaningful.
As a creator, you’ll have your handmade work carefully featured on our website. We handle all the photography, writing, listings, marketing, customer questions, packaging, and shipping, so you can stay focused on making magic.
Once your item sells, we process your payout at the end of the month, after subtracting only the small payment processor fee (3%). Each week, we also send you a friendly update with what’s sold so you’re never in the dark.
What type of creators can apply?
We’re always looking to fill Sacred Home with truly special, high-quality work.
We welcome applications from artists and makers who create:
-
gemstone jewelry
-
home decor with a mystical or earthy flair
-
handmade candles, textiles, paintings, or small spiritual tools
-
dreamcatchers, sculptures, altar pieces
-
upcycled or reclaimed art
-
handmade bags or clothing
-
hand painted items or canvas art
-
anything uniquely soulful that fits our gentle, old-world, slightly cosmic aesthetic
-
and more!
Whether you’re an experienced seller or just beginning your journey, we’d love to see what you make. We are selective, not to gatekeep, but because we value maintaining a beautifully cohesive energy in our shop.
Pro tip: Share your Instagram, Facebook, or any photos that show your process and finished creations. It helps us envision how your pieces might nestle into Sacred Home.
What does it cost to join?
We don’t rent booths or charge by square foot. Instead, we have a simple one-time listing fee that keeps things straightforward and fair:
-
The fee is 25% of your item’s retail price, paid upfront for each piece you wish to list.
-
This covers the loving work of photographing your items, writing your listings, hosting them on our site, marketing them to our community, storing them safely, and packaging them beautifully when they sell.
How long does my contract last?
Our system follows the natural flow of the calendar. Your contract begins as soon as your items are listed and continues through the end of the current quarter, then rolls into the next, giving your creations about six months on our site from the start.
About 15 days before the end of the second quarter, we’ll reach out to see what you’d like to do. You can:
-
renew your contract for another quarter at no extra cost,
-
or let your contract end, giving you the rest of the quarter with your pieces still for sale.
If you choose not to renew, you’ll have 30 days after the quarter ends to pick up your items or arrange to have them shipped back (shipping costs are simply based on weight and box size).
What happens if my items don’t sell?
Your creations will remain listed until you decide they’ve lived their journey here. If we notice an item hasn’t sold after about 60 days, we’ll gently reach out to see what you’d like to do.
You can choose to:
-
keep your item listed until your contract naturally wraps up,
-
run a special sale to spark fresh interest,
-
or have us include it in one of our auction-style events starting at 50% off (always by your choice as nothing happens without your consent).
Do you ever put my items on sale?
Never without your say-so. We only run sales on your creations if you specifically request it. Approved artists have access to our private Porch Portal, where you can easily fill out a form to start a sale whenever you wish.
When do I get paid?
We process payouts once a month. Numbers are finalized on the last Saturday of each month, and your payment goes out the following Monday.
What about sales tax?
Sacred Home collects and pays all necessary sales tax on your behalf. There’s nothing extra you need to file or worry over. If you are a business entity who is legally responsible for sales tax you will report $0 in sales for the portion of items sold at Sacred Home.
Can I join if I’m not local?
Absolutely. As long as your work is handmade and original, we’re happy to consider you.
You’ll simply ship your inventory to us (shipping costs are covered by you). From there, we’ll handle it just like we do with our local artists: photographing, listing, marketing, storing, and shipping when it sells.
What if it turns out your shop isn’t the right fit for me?
That’s perfectly okay. At the end of any contract period, you’re welcome to decide not to renew. You’ll then have 30 days to pick up your items or arrange for return shipping. After that point, items are considered forfeited to Sacred Home and may be kept, priced, or donated at our discretion, without payout.
How do I get started?
Fill out our application and show us your beautiful process. We’ll handle the rest with care and excitement. No matter the outcome, we will email you to let you know if you have been accepted or not. If you are not accepted, please do not feel offended. We are just specific on the items we would like to have in our shop as they need to align with our purpose and vibe. If you are accepted, your email will contain a link to the Porch Portal, where you can submit your address for payments as our payments are not EFT and we will mail you a check, as well as begin sending us your listings.
