Rackr connects independent crafters with retailers who have shelf space to fill — a win for both sides.

How Rackr works

02

Browse & apply to shelves

Search by location, size, and price. Send an enquiry directly to the retailer.

03

Move in and start selling

Once approved, stock your shelf and let real-world customers discover your work.

Everything you need to grow

From independent boutiques to gift shops — our network of retail partners keeps growing.

What people are saying

Real stories from crafters and retailers on Rackr.

I'd been selling at markets for years but hated the weekends. Rackr got me into a boutique in my town within two weeks. My products sell while I sleep.

Crafter · Handmade ceramics

I had a whole section of shelving just sitting empty. Listed it on a Monday, had three applications by Thursday. The income pays my Wi-Fi bill every month.

Retailer · Stationery & lifestyle store

The messaging tool made everything so easy. No awkward emails, no chasing. I sorted the whole thing from my phone on my lunch break.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

How does the commission work?

Rackr takes a small percentage on each sale made through the platform. The exact rate depends on your plan — Free crafters pay 10–15%, while paid plans have lower rates down to 5–8%. There are no hidden charges.

Is there a minimum contract length for shelf space?

No. Rackr is built around flexibility. Each shelf listing sets its own minimum term (often monthly), but there's no platform-level lock-in. You can move on when it's right for you.

How do I find shelf space near me?

Use the browse listings page to search by city, price range, and availability. You can filter to find spaces that suit your product type and budget.

What kinds of products can I sell?

Anything handmade, independent, or locally produced — ceramics, candles, jewellery, prints, stationery, skincare, food products (subject to retailer policies), and more. The retailer approves every application so it's always a good fit.

How does payment work between crafters and retailers?

Rental fees and commissions are handled securely through Rackr. Retailers receive their income automatically, and crafters are paid out on a regular schedule. Everything is tracked in your dashboard.

Can I list multiple shelf spaces as a retailer?

Yes. Growth and Pro Retailer plans include bulk shelf management tools so you can list and manage multiple spaces across one or more locations from a single dashboard.

Can I cancel my subscription?

Yes, at any time. Go to Account Settings → Billing → Manage subscription. You'll keep access until the end of your billing period.

Is Rackr free to try?

Yes. Crafters can sign up for free and start applying to shelves immediately — you only pay a commission when you make a sale. Retailers can list their first shelf space on the Basic plan at no monthly cost.
