Selling on Why Stationery
Opening a shop is free. You keep your artwork, set your own minimums and volume prices, and print in your own shop. The platform takes a cut only when something sells.

What a real order looks like
A wholesale run of 100 pieces at $2.10 each — $210.00 on the order. The figures below are computed by the same function the seller dashboard uses, so this is the actual arithmetic, not an estimate.

Printing, materials and shipping are yours to price into the listing — you set the tier ladder, so the margin is your call.
What stays yours
- Your artwork. Listing a design here doesn't transfer it. You decide per listing whether buyers may change nothing, just the words, or the whole layout.
- Your prices. You set the minimum order quantity and every volume breakpoint above it.
- Your press. You print in your own shop and ship from it. Every approved order gives you press-ready files.
The binding terms are in the seller agreement.
