Sell at the Market

No. Every booth is free to open, and you only pay when something sells. The one optional monthly plan is the Pro Booth at $49 a month, which lowers the booth fee to 8%.

15% of the item price on sales we send your way. Never on shipping, never on tax. Sales that don’t come from us cost you nothing.

Example: a fan clicks your booth and buys a $35 tee in your store with code HUMMINGBIRD. You owe us $5.25.

You set the retail price. Three things come out of each sale, and everything left over is yours:

• Base production cost to make and pack the item. These are set after our first supply order, once supplies are ordered and quantities are known.
• Booth fee for your tier, on the item price only: Founding Booth 10% (locked for 12 months, our first ~25 booths), Open Booth 15%, Pro Booth 8% ($49 a month), Org Booth 5% (0% for nonprofits).
• Card processing, passed through at cost: 2.9% + 30¢ per order, on the item price only.

Booth fees and card processing are never charged on shipping or tax. On an Open Booth, a $35 tee leaves you $28.43 minus the tee’s base production cost. See every tier.

Your booth link carries a little tag, plus a Hummingbird code like HUMMINGBIRD set up in your store. If you use Shopify Collabs, UpPromote, or Refersion, we can use that instead. There’s no time limit: any sale that comes through a Hummingbird link, tag, or code counts, however long ago the click was.

If you link your own store, you get one simple report each month and pay the 15% referral fee within the 15 or 30 day window agreed with you in writing.

If we make it for you, everything left after production cost, booth fee and card processing is yours. Payment terms get agreed in writing before anything is made.

If you link your store, your store collects and handles its own sales tax. We never touch it. On items we make, we run checkout and collect sales tax. That tax goes into its own separate account and is paid to the state. It never counts toward our fee or your payout.

Adapting your existing art to our products is free. A brand new design is $75 per design, and we credit it back to you once 25 units of that design sell. We usually get a design back to you within 24 to 48 hours, sometimes with a prototype. Finished pieces take longer, and we’ll give you a timeline when you approve the design.

We’ll set one up for you, connect it to your booth, and show you how to run it. It’s your store, your checkout, and your sales tax. We’ll send a quote first.

Because we only make things with your name on them when you say so. Every artwork upload needs your authorization, and logos must be yours or authorized. Brendan reviews and approves every booth, and nothing goes into production until he does. Everything is made with your authorization.

No. Signing up has no contract. Real contracts only go out when a project starts, and they use the prices on the pricing one-pager. You can read the documents any time.
