I just started in the soap making business and I love it. It keeps my mind go with ways on how to create different type of soaps and scents. I have done research and still doing research. Learning how to price my soap now. kmkk-handmade.square.site 

[Enchanted]

Hi there!  I am a small business owner that sells a variety of items including items made by local artist, crafters and etc.  

I just started carrying prints of artworks and trying to figure out the best way to display them.

[Arie]

Hi @Enchanted,

We love small businesses in the Seller Community! If you haven't already set up a Square Online site, you could get started here to sell your prints online. 

Please let us know how you go, and if you have any other questions at all. 

[Enchanted]

I have a brick & mortar business. I have some other items online, but do not sell much that way. 

[Beaddreamer]

I am a hot glass & metal jewelry artist. I've been lampworking (glass Beadmaking)for about 15 yrs. I sell through two artist guilds & do a few smaller but profitable indoor shows a year. At the moment I have had a bunch of Memorial beads/stones. These are glass beads/stones with loved ones ashes integrated. They're a beautiful way to have a remembrance. I look forward to meeting everyone! 😊

I''ve just started my own website, AHandmadehouse.com where I design and make all the things.  Home Decor, Gifts, and Pet Beds.  Have an Etsy site also but am now also selling a Full Spectrum CBD Body Butter in gift baskets along with other all natural skincare products...Etsy won't let me sell anything CBD related, boo.  That said, hate the Square's website, having a terrible time setting up. Doing it, but not without a ton of issues along the way.  Getting there though and love what I do, just not the admin stuff, ugh.

Welcome to the Seller Community, @AHMH 🎉

Please let us know if there's any particular questions you have when editing your Square Online website. You can also search the boards for questions/answers already posted. 😊

[AHMH]

Thank you! I do search the boards and don’t get the answers. Someone finally got back to me from Square and there were glitches or our glitches in the platform. Like I was not able to exit out of editing to get back to the overview page at all until someone fixed it. The thing doesn’t update my updates. It takes several tries for it to stick.Or I’ll upload a picture for a product and then I go to check it and that picture is not there. It’s been an insane process and actually created some health problems for me. I have overcome a lot of the issues. But it has not been fun and has created a huge delay in my process.

That does sound frustrating! Do you happen to know what browser (and version) you are using? You can click this link to verify. 

The editor works best on the two most recent versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. I have developed a habit of always working in a private or incognito window to help avoid any one-off cache/cookie errors. 

The issues you described sound like they may have been bugs? Was the rep able to replicate the same error from their end? 

I'll keep an eye out for your reply! Thanks 😊

Hi there!

Long day, week, a great one thankfully!

I'm going to make this short.

Myriad Mirage is my small business which consists of real nature creations, cicada wings, poppy flowers, etc!

I'd love to see your work and connect.

Hey there! BEAUTIFUL work!! I’m an artist, usually working with acrylic medium on canvas, painting surreal subjects. However recently, I’ve started dabbling in hair accessories. Mostly pins with charms. But I’ll also be doing head bands, hair ties, crowns, barrettes, etc. I’m making resin “jewels”, using rhinestones, charms, fake flowers. As I’m learning I’m only using cheap materials, but as I progress I’d love to start working with real artistic pieces to create one of a kind, extraordinary head and clothing accessories. I feel like you and your pieces would be so fantastic to collaborate with, and could really make some statement accessory art. I just absolutely do not want to be boring, I want to have a unique look, and reaching out to artists like yourself would be a great step. Would you be interested in taking a look at some of the things I’ve started and see if you’re interested in collaborating? Now, I am in the very beginning of this endeavor so my work is in the “prototype” phase and not yet refined, so don’t be deterred! For now I will send you my website and you can see what kind of art I do. Thanks so much!

Hello Vermont Artisan Crafters and 2D Artists,

I own ART, etc., which recently moved to Randolph. My space is larger than my previous, so that means I am actively looking for other artists to join the store.

I would love to connect with any artist who lives/works in Vermont. More info about ART, etc. is @artetcvt and artetcvt.com. Thanks!
