What Sellers Are Saying

As a resin artist, I initially sold through Instagram, but as my audience grew - especially internationally - I needed a reliable online marketplace. After researching options, AFOMA Marketplace stood out as the best choice for self-starters like me.

AFOMA makes it easy for creatives to launch and grow their online presence with a clear registration process, fair fees, and no product restrictions. They also offer valuable workshops to help sellers improve their shops.

What truly sets AFOMA apart is their commitment to artisans—they listen, refine their platform based on our needs, and even use AI to simplify registration and product listing. Whether you're just starting or expanding your online reach, AFOMA is the place to be.
