Portage for makers and market sellers

Where to buy it online, and which market you’re at on Saturday.

Your page shows what you make with its prices, lists the markets you’re at with directions, and says “sold out of mugs, back Sunday” from your phone at the stall. Everything goes to the shop you already sell through.

I take custom orders

A board says whether you’re taking orders, how many slots are left and roughly what each costs, and closes itself when it’s full.

  • I take custom orders

    A board says whether you’re taking orders, how many slots are left and roughly what each costs, and closes itself when it’s full.

  • Something sells out at the stall

    Put “Sold out of mugs, back Sunday” at the top from your phone. It comes down by itself.

  • A restock is coming

    Count down to the drop on your page, and let people sign up to hear the moment it’s live.

  • I want the page on the stall

    Print a table tent for the stall with a code that opens your page, and your stats show how many people scanned it.

Every feature here is free, and nothing is ever sold through your page: every price is a link to your own shop.

How these work, step by step: QR code and print kit and grids, carousels and folds.

What makers ask us.

Can people buy straight from my page?
No, and that’s on purpose: money never moves on a Portage page. Each thing you show goes to wherever you already sell it, so your shop, your stock and your payouts stay where they are.
Can I say something’s sold out while I’m at the market?
Yes. Right now puts one line at the top of your page from your phone, like “Sold out of mugs, back Sunday”. Pick how long it stays up and it comes down by itself.
Can I take custom orders?
Yes. A board says whether you’re taking orders, how many slots are left and roughly what each kind costs, in your own words. It switches to a waitlist when it’s full, and closes on the day you pick.
Do my market dates come off once they’re over?
Yes. Each one drops off the day after, and every place opens directions in three map apps. If you keep your markets in a calendar already, your page can read them from it.
Is it really free? What’s the catch?
No catch. Every feature is free for everyone. You only pay if you want an identity or business check, Unmarked to take the Portage credit off a business page, room to look after more than ten clients’ pages from one account, or custom work from the studio. None of those adds a feature. Every free page has a small Made with Portage line at the bottom, ours included, and your page never comes down because you didn’t buy something.

One link for the stall, the shop and the labels.

Put it in your bio, on your labels and on a card in every order.

Use letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores. You can change it later.
