Built by Makers, for Makers

We're not another faceless tech company. We're crafters who got tired of being nickeled and dimed — so we built something better.

Our Story

Makers Nest was born at a craft fair in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia.

We were surrounded by incredible artisans — potters, woodworkers, jewellery makers, textile artists — all sharing the same frustrations. Etsy fees were eating into their margins. Shipping was a nightmare. And local customers who wanted to support them couldn't easily find them online.

We thought: what if there was a platform that actually worked the way craft fairs do? Local first. Personal connections. No middlemen taking huge cuts. Just makers and the people who appreciate what they create.

That's Makers Nest. The craft fair that never closes.

🍁 Canadian Born

Headquartered in British Columbia, built specifically for Canadian makers and buyers. We understand the unique challenges of selling handmade in Canada.

🤝 Maker Owned

Our founders are active makers themselves. Every feature we build comes from real experience selling handmade goods — not a corporate boardroom.

What We Believe

💡

Transparency First

No hidden fees. No surprise deductions. You know exactly what you'll pay before you sell a single item.

🏠

Local Matters

We believe the best transactions happen between neighbours. Porch pickup isn't just convenient — it builds community.

Handmade Only

Every seller is verified. No dropshippers. No mass-produced imports. Just real artisans making real things.

🛡️

Maker Protection

We built our policies to protect you from scammers, chargebacks, and the headaches other platforms ignore.

📱

Simple Tools

You're a maker, not a tech expert. Our platform is designed to be intuitive from day one.

❤️

Human Support

When you need help, you talk to a real person who understands your business. No bots, no runaround.

The Team

We're a small, passionate team of makers and builders based in British Columbia. We keep things lean so we can keep fees low and focus on what matters: helping you succeed.
