Journeyhorizon developed Handmade as a multi-seller marketplace with product discovery, cart, seller administration, custom onboarding, delivery and transaction workflows.

Platform and marketplace model

Handmade is a global two-sided marketplace similar to Etsy, designed to connect international sellers with buyers who appreciate handcrafted, unique products. The platform allows artisans and creators from around the world to list and sell their handmade items, offering a diverse selection of products that range from jewelry and clothing to home decor and art.

In this marketplace:

- Sellers - who are artisans and makers - create detailed listings for their handmade products, including descriptions, images, pricing, and shipping options.

- Buyers, who are individuals seeking unique and personalized items, browse through these listings, compare products, and make purchases directly through the platform.

With handmade.com, sellers can manage their listings and orders, while buyers can ask questions, leave reviews, and track their purchases.

The collaboration between Handmade and Journeyhorizon creates a marketplace that helps sellers expand their businesses, supports the growth and success of artisans, and enhances the overall shopping experience.
