Community website where everyone can sell there handmade goods

Im looking to set up a online store in my community for members to sell their homemade crafts.

Any suggestions? Or how many websites can 1 account have?

Hello @Mike-L - I see this is your first post in the Seller Community, so I'd like to officially welcome you! 🎉👏

You can have ten websites per Square account. I am tagging some of our amazing super sellers, and they can provide insight on how to, set up your craft store online @HC_Charlie @ryanwanner @LLCafe @VanKalkerFarms. Do you have an idea of how you want it setup, and what exactly are you looking for so our super sellers can better assist? Thank you!

If you want to run your own domain name, you can easily set up a Square store with your products and connect it to your URL:

(You might want to try the Square Photo Studio app for getting better product photos if you don't have a photographer on your team.)

Having said that, the online craft store everyone thinks of automatically is Etsy. Rather than using your own domain, you could set up and manage an Etsy store and use Square payments:

You would offer to market the products and your local community members will get the benefit of not having to fiddle with "technology stuff". If the sales happen they won't care what the method is.
