How it Works
Welcome Shops!
Quiltster Sellers can currently list and sell quilt kits through the Quiltster Marketplace, making it easy to showcase your products to quilters actively planning their next project.
Whether you’re creating custom Quiltster Kits or listing kits already available in your shop, we’ll guide you through each step of the process and provide resources along the way.
Request → Setup → List → Manage → Fulfill → Grow
Step 1: Request a Seller Account
Start by completing the Seller Account Request Form.
We will:
- Verify that your business meets our current Marketplace requirements.
- Confirm your preferred Seller Subscription level
- Answer any questions before getting you started.
Step 2: Set Up Your Seller Account
After reviewing your request, we’ll confirm you are ready to get started and activate your Seller Subscription, process your initial subscription payment and provide access to the Seller Content Management System (Seller CMS).
The Seller CMS is your hub for managing your Quiltster Marketplace business. From there, you’ll create listings, manage inventory and orders, process shipments, view payout reports and access seller resources.
Before you can begin selling, you’ll need to complete your company settings and connect your payout account. Once that’s done, you’re ready to create and publish your first listing.

Step 3: Create Your First Listing
You’re ready to create your first Marketplace listing!
At this time, Quiltster Sellers can list and sell Quilt Kits in the Quiltster Marketplace. Additional product categories may be added in the future.
You can create:
Quiltster Kits
Create a project in the Quilt Planner and convert it into a Marketplace listing. These kits allow customers to see exactly how the fabrics look in the finished quilt before purchasing.
Classic Kits
Already have kits prepared for your shop? Create traditional Marketplace listings without using the Quilt Planner.

Step 4: Manage Inventory
Quiltster does not currently connect to external inventory or point-of-sale systems for Quilt Kit inventory. Sellers are responsible for maintaining accurate inventory levels for Kit listings.
If a kit sells in your shop, at a show, through your website, or any other sales channel, you’ll need to update the available inventory in the Seller CMS to ensure Marketplace inventory remains accurate.
The Seller CMS makes it easy to:
- Update inventory quantities
- Mark products in or out of stock
- Edit listing details
- Monitor sales activity

Step 5: Ship Orders & Receive Payouts
When an order is placed, you’ll prepare and ship the order directly to the customer.
Marketplace payments are processed automatically and funds are paid out through your connected payout account.

- Easy listing creation
