Become a Vendor at We Made It

Sell Your Products in a Professionally Staffed Retail Store

We Made It is a Canadian-owned retail marketplace located in downtown Cobourg, Ontario, featuring products from Canadian makers, artisans, creators, and small businesses.

We provide vendors with the opportunity to sell their products in an established brick-and-mortar storefront without having to work shifts or be present to make sales.

Our team handles the day-to-day operation of the store, including customer service, sales transactions, store staffing, general merchandising support, marketing, events, and maintaining a professional retail environment.

You focus on creating great products, maintaining your inventory, and growing your business.

A Simple Fixed-Rent Model — No Vendor Commission

We Made It has returned to a simple fixed-rent vendor model.

Vendors pay a predictable monthly rental rate and keep 100% of their product sales.

There is no commission deducted from vendor sales.

A 13% customer service fee is added to customer purchases at checkout. This fee is paid by the customer and helps support the costs of operating and staffing our retail store, processing transactions, maintaining our sales and inventory systems, marketing the store, participating in events, and providing the retail infrastructure required to sell products on behalf of our vendors.
