FAQ

How much does it cost to participate?

Shop Signatures vendors pay no monthly subscription fees and an 8% commission fee on all sales. Our commission fee on product sales will be taken from the sales revenue collected by Shop Signatures, so there is no remittance required from you.

Please note: Stripe charges an additional credit card transaction fee of 2.9% + 30 cents per sale. This is automatically applied through the Stripe eCommerce API integrated with the Shop Signatures platform. To learn more about these fees, click here.

Why should I sell on Shop Signatures?

Signatures has been a go-to and trusted name in the Canadian handmade community by both artisans and consumers for 40 years, comprised of an agile and experienced team with a comprehensive understanding of the industry at large. Supporting local has never been more urgent and top-of-mind than it is now, and pivoting to online is a logical and critical next step to ensure our industry’s future success.

By leveraging Signatures’ national reach of over 500,000 loyal customers in 13 Canadian markets, Shop Signatures is positioned strongly as the go-to site for Canadian handmade. While other markets have also shifted to a virtual platform, none are offering the competitive pricing, national reach, and year-round, low-risk solution that you get with Shop Signatures.

How will Shop Signatures be promoted?

Shop Signatures will leverage Signatures’ national following of over 500,000 customers with direct email, Facebook, and Instagram advertising campaigns, offering contests and other incentives for sharing content. We will use our platform’s industry-leading conversion tracking software to boost our ad campaigns with targeted social media and Google ads. We will also provide you with an easy, ready-to-use social media kit, in order to help you to promote your shop to your audiences.

Can you tell me more about the platform?

Shop Signatures is an e-commerce platform made up of virtual artisan shops, centralized on one website with one simple checkout process. It’s an easy-to-use site built to connect you to your existing customers and to new customers who have an appreciation and appetite for Canadian handmade, regardless of their geographical location within Canada.

Customers have the ability to:

• search for products or artisans by product categories and sub-categories;
• search for products or artisans who have participated in previous Signatures live shows by show name;
• create and share wishlists with an unlimited number of products, which can be saved for later and shared with others;
• conveniently purchase multiple products from multiple vendors using one shopping cart in one simple transaction, with no additional shipping costs; and
• chat directly with artisans.

Why all-inclusive pricing?

The all-inclusive pricing model is designed with simplicity in mind for the end user. It is our belief that when consumers purchase products from multiple vendors in one transaction, they will not want to see multiple shipping charges. This is why we are asking that you build your shipping costs into your posted prices. Shop Signatures does not have a preferred shipping supplier. We encourage you to research the most cost-effective solution that works best for your business.

You have complete freedom over pricing your products in accordance with this all-inclusive model. Typically, vendors who offer free shipping, choose one of two methods:

• Blanket flat shipping cost built into a reasonable list price (e.g. $10 item with an estimated shipping cost of $5 = list price on Shop Signatures of $13-15)
• Percentage-based increase built into the product price (e.g. calculate shipping costs for all your products and then determine an average percentage to apply to all your products)

Please note, Shop Signatures products can only be shipped to Canadian mailing addresses.

What happens if I’m accepted as a vendor?

Once you complete and submit your vendor application, you will receive a confirmation email. Our team will process your application within 3 to 5 business days, and then notify you of the status of your application by email.

If you are accepted as a vendor, you will receive a letter of acceptance by email with a prompt to activate your Shop Signatures account. Once activated, you can set up your shop. We have created an easy-to-use, step-by-step guide to setting up your shop – you will receive it by email, and it is also available in our Help Centre.

Your billing cycle will begin 3 months from the date you are accepted and will automatically renew each following month using the credit card information you provide to Stripe.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes, you have the freedom to cancel your subscription free of charge at any time if you decide Shop Signatures is not for you. If you cancel your subscription, your items will remain listed in your online store until the final day of your billing cycle. You are also responsible to fulfill any pending orders.
