Why makers switch
Six reasons to move your
shop to Numonday
01
You keep the money you earn
0% commission and no card fees. You receive 100% of your price and your postage on every sale — Numonday even pays Stripe’s processing fee for you. We never take a cut of your sales.
02
No surprise fee increases
Etsy raised its commission from 5% to 6.5% in 2022. Numonday’s pricing is transparent and fixed — you always know exactly what you’re paying.
03
UK buyers who care about handmade
Numonday is built exclusively for UK independent makers selling to UK buyers. No competing with overseas factories. No mass-produced imports undercutting you.
04
No listing fees or limits
List your full range without watching a fee counter. Every Numonday subscription covers unlimited listings at no extra cost.
05
No Star Seller pressure
Etsy’s Star Seller programme creates anxiety and algorithmic pressure. Numonday doesn’t punish you for taking a day off or having a slow month.
06
Your shop. Your rules.
Set your own pricing, postage rates, returns policy and shop story. Full Shop Manager — no algorithmic interference in how you run your business.
