Real work. Real People. One home.

A curated marketplace built for creators that love creating

What is Merkosi

Merkosi is a curated marketplace for original work. Every product has a creator attached to it. No AI listings, no dropshipping, no volume sellers.

We built Merkosi because real work made by real people deserves a home.

What we do for you

Merkosi is the marketplace. You make it, we handle the rest.

  • You keep full control of your inventory and pricing.
  • We handle payment processing, platform costs, and tax infrastructure.
  • We route customer support and handle disputes on your behalf.
  • You ship directly to your buyers.
  • Your work is never competing with AI, dropshippers, or volume sellers.
  • Zero pressure to have sales or discounts. You run your store however you like.

How it works

Getting started is simple.

  1. Apply - We reach out to creators we believe in. If that's you, we'll be in touch.
  2. Set up your shop - We create your account and you set it up however you like. List up to 15 products, set your prices, and tell your story.
  3. Sell - You focus on creating, we focus on finding buyers.
  4. Get paid - Earnings are released after confirmed delivery, on a regular payout schedule.

Our Rules

We keep it simple so everyone knows where they stand

  • Original work only. Everything listed on Merkosi must be made by you.
  • No AI generated listings or imagery used to misrepresent your work.
  • No dropshipping.
  • Creators can list up to 15 products. Quality over quantity, always.
  • You set your return policy. We set the platform standard at 14 days, unless it's made-to-order.

These rules exist to protect you as much as they protect the marketplace.

Fees

We take 9% per sale. That covers payment processing, platform costs, and tax infrastructure. Nothing else; no hidden fees and no surprises.

Where we are right now

We are building this for creators, which means we need creators in the room. Your feedback doesn't just help us improve, it shapes what Merkosi becomes.

Why Merkosi exists

My name is Alex and I am a creator that owns Sole Cultura, a custom shoe design brand that specializes in adding culture to every piece I create.

I have dealt with the same frustrations every creator has had. Anything from finding customers, competing with listings that have nothing to do with the craft, wondering if a marketplace is actually built for someone like me.

I built Merkosi because I could not find what I needed; a place where original work is taken seriously and the people that make it get treated fairly.

We understand this is still early. But Merkosi is committed to always putting creators first.
