Launch Your Brand on the American Market in 5 Steps: A Storenvy Guide for Ukrainian Designers

In search of the perfect platform to sell their works abroad, Ukrainian designers often choose between Etsy and Shopify. But there is another powerful and stylish alternative, especially popular in the USA – Storenvy. This platform is a unique hybrid of a social network, marketplace, and website builder, perfectly suited for independent brands, artists, and creators of unique products.

In this article, we will take a detailed look at what Storenvy is, who it is best suited for, and how Ukrainian entrepreneurs can set up reliable shipping for their orders using GlobalPost.

What is Storenvy? The main difference from other platforms

Storenvy is not just another marketplace. Its uniqueness lies in the “two-in-one” model:

• Custom Store Builder: You can create a full-fledged, branded online store with your unique link for free. You have full control over its appearance, products, and prices. This is your personal showcase.
• Central Marketplace: When you add products to your store, you can publish them with one click in Storenvy’s general catalog. Millions of buyers visiting the Storenvy website can find your products via search, categories, or recommendations, just like on Etsy or Amazon.

In fact, you get the best of both worlds: full control over your own branded site and access to the vast audience of a large marketplace.

Who is Storenvy perfect for

The platform has a clear focus on indie culture, art, and unique, non-mass-produced products. It is an excellent choice for:

• Clothing and accessory designers: t-shirts with custom prints, handmade jewelry, bags, hats.
• Artists and illustrators: selling prints, posters, stickers, art books.
• Craft goods manufacturers: candles, decor items, ceramics.
• Musical bands and subculture representatives: selling merch, zines, vinyl records.

Storenvy is a place where originality and personal style are valued. If your product is unique and has its own story, you will find your audience here and be able to sell designer products abroad without the need to create a separate website or a complicated CRM.

How to start selling in 5 steps

• Registration and store creation. Go through a quick registration on Storenvy, choose a unique name for your store-front, and provide basic information.
• Storefront design. Upload a logo and banner that match your brand’s style, and write a short but attractive description.
• Adding products. Upload high-quality photos of your products (recommended 5-10 to start), add clear descriptions, and set prices.
• Setting up shipping and payment. Prepare your business mechanism for operation. Specify the shipping cost for key markets (USA, Europe), easily calculating it on the GlobalPost online calculator. Then, connect reliable payment systems like PayPal or Stripe.
