For Etsy Sellers Opening Their Own Store
Etsy sellers who want an owned storefront without marketplace fees or a large platform bill. Senvarico: free plan with 20 SKUs, ¥99/month for 100, 0% platform fee, PayPal and Stripe, multi-currency.
Etsy gives makers traffic, but it also sets the fees and owns the customer relationship. Sellers who have built a following often want a store of their own for repeat buyers and social traffic. The question is whether that store can be cheap enough to run alongside Etsy.
This is probably you if
- You sell handmade or curated products on Etsy
- You have 10–100 SKUs and a social following
- You ship internationally, mainly to Europe and North America
- You want to keep both channels without doubling costs
How Senvarico fits
Low enough to run beside Etsy
Free for up to 20 SKUs, ¥99/month for up to 100. No annual commitment and no platform commission.
Keep the margin on repeat buyers
A 0% platform transaction fee means direct sales only carry PayPal or Stripe processing fees.
International by default
Multi-currency and multi-language storefronts with PayPal and Stripe, for the overseas buyers Etsy already sends you.
No maintenance
SaaS hosted; nothing to update or back up.
When it is not the right fit
- You need Etsy listing sync or a print-on-demand integration
- Your catalog runs into the hundreds
- You want an elaborate design-first site
Big Cartel is a comparable lightweight option for makers selling domestically; Squarespace or Wix suit sellers who want a design-first brand site.
How to do it
- Recreate your top 20 listings on the Free plan.
- Connect PayPal and Stripe; set shipping regions for your main countries.
- Send repeat buyers and social traffic to the store; keep Etsy for discovery.
- Upgrade to the Small Seller plan as the direct catalog grows.
