Rackr connects independent crafters with retailers who have shelf space to fill — a win for both sides.
Simple steps for both sides of the marketplace.
For Crafters

Tell retailers about your brand, the products you make, and what makes you stand out.
Browse & apply to shelves
Search by location, size, and price. Send an enquiry directly to the retailer.

Once approved, stock your shelf and let real-world customers discover your work.
For Retailers
List your shelf space
Add photos, set your pricing, and describe your shop and foot traffic.

Earn from unused space
Collect rental income and commission on sales — with zero extra effort.
Built for independent sellers and forward-thinking retailers.
Real shelf space, real customers

Analytics & performance

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.
Sophie R.
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.
James T.
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.

Everything you need to know before getting started.
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.
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.
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.
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.
