The membership and selling side of the website was launched very recently, in the beginning of November 2025, so... come and join our "launch crew" of the first 100 sellers, (initially) for free. : )

Anyone who aligns with the platform, it's mission, and has products that
also align with that.

No. Entrepreneur is a wide term.. everyone with a product are welcomed - including authors and artists. We don't need or ask you to have a registered business in order to sell here.

Yes, absolutely. All books, devotionals, paintings, ceramics, jewelry, and etc, are welcomed on our site.

This marketplace is meant both individuals AND businesses. You can use or create both a seller name and/or a shop and/or a brand name. It is fully your own decision. (Also, legally it is also your own decision if you want to operate here as an individual or a company. That decision and later paperwork is up to the seller.)

Yes, absolutely. Both, individuals and businesses, can join this marketplace.

Faith-led and/or faith-based physical or digital products - anything that aligns with the platform and it's mission. Not all products have to be religion- or faith-related, they should just be neutral enough. Feel
free to contact us in case of any questions surrounding this topic.

(For more specifics, please refer to the next question and answer.)

There are no specific rules or limitations (except for aligning with the platform direction, mission and views in general), but the main products that we are looking for are digital journals; different digital files like prayer cards or printable calendars; Bibles, devotional journals; books, paper-back devotionals, art; (new) clothing and apparel; sportswear, jewelry (e.g. bracelets and necklaces); other accessories; art, paintings, ceramics; and other crafts and designs.

No, absolutely not. We very much welcome new product categories and new type of products in general. It could maybe even be said that the more "out of box" or surprising, the better.

Yes, absolutely.

No, not directly or not necessarily. They should just be at least neutral enough to suit next to the other products and not be controversial – that's all.

At least at this time, only adding (physical and digital) products is available here. (If enrollment is very active and a lot of people are also interested in listing their services, then it might be considered and added in the future, though... so feel free to let us know if you have an interest in that.)

At least for now, this marketplace is not built for building courses (e.g. by coaches or mentors), and/or for adding social media content or longer video content. Everything else is technically welcomed here.

We leave that definition and line mostly to you and mostly check the alignment of products with this marketplace and also what other people are selling. The products just have to be neutral enough. In terms of the background of the seller, we don't ask specifically about that or make you fill out an application before joining as a seller - we just show what we are about here and then leave that decision up to you. If you feel comfortable enough to join then that is good for us as long as the products are suitable. We fully welcome you and cheer you on! (We do pre-check and pre-approve product listings though!)

No, not at all. You just have to insert either your own name or your preferred shop name, location, e-mail and preferred payment option for the future (but you can opt out anytime) and browse your account a bit in order to get it going before adding product listings. We only ask a very minimal amount of information when someone is signing up and we promise that navigating the sign-up process is not too difficult or time-consuming. :)

Also, always feel free to send us any questions about it via e-mail at sellers@christianbyfaith.store or book a discovery call so we can go through the process with you.

No, not at all. Once you have added your seller's or shop name, e-mail and the preferred choice of payment, go to your seller dashboard and click "Products". After that choose "Product listing" and after that, under "Choose product" choose either "Normal Product" in case of physical products, or "Digital Product" in case of a digital product. After that, some of the other information should be already easier.

On your seller's dashboard you also have some additional options and additional information, but in order to just add a few product listings, it's not necessary to use all of them... you can keep it simple and just ignore some of it if you'd like. These additional features are just meant to offer you more options if you'd like it, and for those who prefer it, but these are not mandatory.

Please don't let it scare or deter you from joining the platform or adding products. Also, we are always just an e-mail or video call away if you have any questions about adding product listings or maintaining your account. Feel free to write to us at seller@christianbyfaith.store or to book a phone or video call for tech support or some other type of help.

Once you have added your seller's or shop name, e-mail and the preferred choice of payment, go to your seller dashboard and click "ADDING AND MANAGING PRODUCT LISTINGS". After that choose "Product listing" and after that, under "CHOOSE PRODUCT" choose either "Normal Product" in case of physical products, or "Digital Product" in case of a digital product. After that, some of the other information should be already easier.

You can skip the second half of the product adding settings as they are optional (which you can recognize by them not having the red star or dot which would otherwise indicate that they are mandatory). We highly recommend adding product tags to your product listings and/or adding them under one of the collections (if you see that any of the available options are suitable), though. (If you don't see any suitable collections then just skip that part or choose "Other products" if that shows up as an available option for you at that time.)

If you need any form of help or tech support to add your first listings then please contact as through e-mail at sellers@christianbyfaith.store either with your questions or to book a voice or a video call. or through the contact form further below on the page.

When adding a product listing, the following elements are mandatory:

* Product type (under "CHOOSE TYPE") - is your product physical or digital.

* Product name - Name your products whatever you like.

* Product type - There you will add whatever category you would name it - e.g. when you do necklaces or bracelets, then write that or a more general name like "jewelry".

* Description - There you will describe your product, what it includes, how big it is or how many pages it has and etc.

* Product tags - These are freely chosen words or tags to describe your product in one word. You can choose one tag or more.

* Product price - Choose the final product price (which already would include your taxes) without the shipping cost, or a full price with shipping if you want to offer free shipping to your customers and want to indirectly pay for it yourself as a seller.

* Product image - Choose at least one nice product image to showcase your product.

* Shipping details: Is shipping required (- add a check-mark if it's a physical product).

When adding a product listing, the following elements are voluntary:

* Brand name.

* Product weight (under "Shipping Details").

* Sales price, if you want the client price be different from the initial cost price.

* Whether you want to charge your own taxes from that product. - That is an individual decision that a seller has to make based on their country of residence or business. (Christian By Faith Marketplace doesn't collect or assign it's own taxes for or to sellers. Each seller is responsible for their own taxes.)

* Inventory details - Do you want to set minimum purchase amounts or show/track your product inventory publicly (e.g. when you only have a few copies of your book or apparel and want to block bigger purchases).

* Shipping details - How much does the physical product weight. (Not mandatory, but recommended. Or if not weighted the write about the size of the product inside the product description section.)

* Variant details - If you have several different variants of your product then you can add additional information about it.

* The origin country of the product - Where was the product made.

* An HSN product code for your own accounting or tracking. Totally voluntary.

* Choosing a collection, or several, for your product. - If you see a suitable option there, then choose it, but if not then you can leave it empty.

* Product handles.

Yes, absolutely. You can change and/or delete your product listings independently whenever you'd like.

No, there isn't a minimum price for product listings, so you can also add your free files or products here.

No. To ensure the quality and uniqueness of this platform, the platform and the admin(s) check over every product listing before letting it go up.

That depends on the timing, but usually within 24 hours during the work week, and within 48+ hours during the weekends. (Longer on some weekends.)

Yes, absolutely. This doesn't mean that you are not welcomed to continue on the platform. We are absolutely looking forward to your next (different) listings.

Christian By Faith Marketplace does NOT guarantee any sales or customers. Yes,
we do occasional promotion for our sellers, but outside of that, this marketplace is only meant to serve you as an additional place to share your products and God-given gifts. Daily promotion is voluntary and is totally up to the seller herself.

When the marketplace grows, we all will get more traffic and views in an overall sense, which can then also potentially lead to sales for other sellers as well. This, however, does not indicate the exact number of views that other sellers will get from someone else's audience. That process is totally fluent and is up to the customers.

When signing up as a seller, you need to insert your payment information on the seller dashboard under the section called "MY PROFILE" and then choose "PAYMENT DETAILS". There you can choose between three options of how you would like to receive your earnings. Either through 1) PayPal, 2) Bank Wire Transfer, or 3) Internet Banking. Please choose what works best for you. (Our preferred and recommended method is PayPal, but you can still choose between the other two as well.) Please choose your (one) preferred method there and then you can proceed with adding your first product listing.

You can see and track all your sales on your seller dashboard. Sales are counted at the moment a customer buys your product and transfer has gone through.

When it was a digital product, the seller will receive their earnings automatically (100% of their earnings) on the same day of the purchase. When it was a physical product, the seller will receive their earnings (100% of it) after delivery. This is to ensure that the sellers are responsible in that regard and to ensure the overall quality and trustworthiness of this marketplace and platform.

N.B. This platform does not take or keep any money in between transactions. All the money goes straight to the seller after the automatic legal and technical buffer time.

The marketplace does daily payouts for sellers in case there was a sale made at their storefront. (For additional information, please refer back to the previous question and answer.) Sellers get 100% of their own earnings. This platform does not take or keep any money in between transactions. All the money goes straight to the seller after the automatic legal and technical buffer time.

Joining the marketplace is free and subscription-based, so the marketplace will only get a small monthly subscription fee after the seller's free trial has ended. (Sellers can independently opt out at any time.)

Yes, the marketplace reserves the right to deactivate/or delete sellers when they go against community guidelines.

Yes, the marketplace is reserves the right to not accept, or deactivate/or
delete products when they go against community guidelines

Each seller/member is responsible for their own products (exactly like on other larger marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, Ebay, and etc.) and shipping.

Each seller has access to all of the customer data like the shipping address, etc.

Christian By Faith Marketplace does not take responsibility for products and shipping or the lack of it. However, we are happy to support all of our sellers with information, suggestions, tech support, and etc.

Each seller is responsible for her own taxes and (Stripe or PayPal) transaction fees and paying them based on their own location and local laws, but we have set the tax settings up in a way that usually the taxes are included in the customer's final pricing, so you as a seller don't have to pay anything extra and would still receive 100% of your product price.

(If you need us to fill out a form for proof, then we are happy to support though. Feel free to send that request via e-mail at sellers@christianbyfaith.store.)

In terms of both customer purchase processing and membership subscription processing, this website and marketplace uses PayPal and Stripe (www.stripe.com) which also means that sellers use it by default as well. Both solutions are easy and fast to use and we are always ready to answer all technical questions regarding that

(Sellers will get their payments from their purchases automatically within a day from the purchase or in case of physical products, in a day from product delivery to the customer.)

In some instances, there are transaction fees that the seller has to pay on their own. This would be included automatically by the payment processing third-party solutions (PayPal and Stripe) that we use. The fees vary, but on Stripe, they are usually
$0.25. On PayPal, the transactions within the same country are usually free, but between continents (like the North-America and Europe) there can sometimes be small transactional fees, e.g. between North-America and Europe, the automatic fee by PayPal (not by this marketplace!) can be around $2.90 to $2.99.

N.B. These fees are automatic and by the third-party solutions, not by Christian By Faith Marketplace! The marketplace does not receive anything from those transactions or transaction fees (or also taxes in general)!

Just choose a suitable location and suitable settings for your products and for your current location where you would be shipping from. If you're the one selling, then we recommend setting up at least 2 (if not more) shipping options for your clients – preferably in 2 (or more) different price points to cover a variable of product sizes and customer locations (- further or nearer from your location).

Note that the shipping costs for customers are additional and separate from your initial product pricing. For further questions about shipping, please contact us at seller@christianbyfaith.store.

Your customer does. However, we recommend really thinking through your shipping prices and setting up at least 2 (if not more) shipping options for your clients – preferably in 2 (or more) different price points to cover a variable of product sizes and customer locations (- further or nearer from your location). This will help you ensure and keep more customers.

The seller does. If you're the one selling, then we recommend setting up at least 2 (if not more) shipping options for your clients – preferably in 2 (or more) different price points to cover a variable of product sizes and customer locations (- further or nearer from your location).

Yes, absolutely. Our settings from the technological side are mainly set for the sellers and customers from the United States, but you can ship from other continents as well. Please contact us in case of any technical issues.

Also, please note that shipping costs are additional to the product price that you would set for your product, so shipping from another country or a continent will cost the customer more money. We recommend setting up a variety of shipping options and prices in that case.

You can become a seller from anywhere. The only thing to keep in mind is the shipping. There might be some limitations related with your location if you are outside of the United States. (But again, we welcome everyone to become sellers – especially for digital products.)

No, not at all. Even if you already have your own website, you are still very much welcomed to join us. You will get 100% of your earnings here either way, so you have nothing to loose. This can just be a potential new avenue and platform for you to get your products in front of some new people.

Yes, absolutely. There is no exclusivity clause here, which means that you can sell in as many other places as you want to.

The core pillars of our platform are:

• being God-focused and God-led;
  
• having faith as the core of the marketplace and platform;
  
• being community-driven and community-focused;
  
• offering a personalized experienced;
  
• offering individual tech and customer support;
  
• facilitating and nurturing a unique set of sellers and members;
  
• offering a unique variety of products;
  
• supporting each other through the community;
  
• helping each seller and member shine;
  
• uplifting our members through occasional promotion, feature articles, and etc.
  

This is one of the first, if not the first, online marketplace meant specifically and exclusively for female Christian entrepreneurs.

Here you are not just another number or seller ID like in many wider marketplaces. A lot of our sellers are hand-picked and specifically approached to lead the way for others as well. We have social media engagement support, some promotional posts and even feature stories.

In the regular marketplaces there are a lot of secular products and sometimes even inappropriate ads. To get sales, a lot of Christians still sell at those marketplaces (for the lack of alternatives), but it's easy to get lost on those marketplaces among millions of other sellers. This marketplace was created to tell you that there can be better options as well.

This platform was created to offer an alternative. An alternative to be among like-minded women and to shine on a faith-based platform that was created keeping specifically you in mind and to create a small, more personal experience where you would not get unnoticed among
millions of sellers and product listings.

Some of the examples of this (but not conclusive) is:

• A different type of exposure for yourself as a Christian entrepreneur and for your products;
  
• An option to shine among like-minded women who most likely support the same type of business approach as you do;
  
• An opportunity to stand out as a seller compared to larger marketplaces where we as Christian women are often just a number in the statistics and sometimes might even be pushed to conform to be allowed to share our products in those secular places.
  

To see more about this topic, feel free to read the previous answer (to the previous question) and to check our membership subscription description that has all the key elements listed.

You can add (and later change or delete) your product listings, choose your prices, make discount codes for your clients, add freebies aka free files or products, draft orders on behalf of your customers, choose minimum purchase amount for your products for customers (if you sell bulk), and make invoices. You can do all of that among like-minded women and similar products which also supports your brand and products.

* For additional inspiration, please check and refer to the previous question and answer.

The short answer is: Joining is for free, we offer free trials where the only cost is paying your own Stripe (www.stripe.com) fees if you're using Stripe to receive your payments. (Usually the receiving fee there is about 0.25$ per 1 sold item/product of yours.)

It's initially totally for free. You just have to join our membership subscription option and you will get immediately get access to our seller dashboard where you can start adding your product listings, track your sales, customize your personal store space, and etc. Sellers earn 100% of their own earnings and we take 0 commission.

Depending on the subscription option, you will get a free trial run to check out the features and the platform. After the free trial run ends, you can continue with a paid plan or opt out of the seller membership.
