$500
Your first sales, with no platform fee
Once your founder shop is live, 406 Makers waives its platform fee on your first $500 in qualifying product sales. Payment processing fees still apply.
406 Makers
The Founder’s Guild
For the first 100 makers who help get 406 Makers started.
406 Makers gives Montana makers a place to sell their products and shoppers a way to find them. Approved founders receive a numbered badge, a place in our maker directory, and platform fee savings on their first sales.
Founder benefits
What founders receive
Your founder number and badge
Your numbered founder badge appears on your shop and products. Shoppers can also find your shop in the founder directory.
Your first three orders
An iron-on patch from 406 Makers
After three completed customer orders, we’ll send you a free iron-on patch as a small thank-you. One patch per founder.
Orders count once they’re delivered. Canceled or refunded orders and purchases from your own shop don’t count.
