Hi everyone! We spent the last two years of our spare time building Hanti, a marketplace for handmade crafts. It’s like Etsy, but focused on the EU market.

We launched Hanti in Sweden a year and a half ago (spring 2025), and currently there are ~320 sellers on the site (all from Sweden) with almost 4000 unique products. Last week we opened up Hanti for the entire EU, and now we welcome sellers and customers from all 27 member states.

What are the main features of Hanti?

  • Low and few fees for sellers: Sellers pay a 5% platform fee on all orders, as well as any transaction costs. Everything else is free. No start-up fees when creating a shop, no fees to publish products, and no monthly fees.
  • Free from algorithms: Products are listed in a chronological order, by default newest products are shown first and oldest last. No algorithms that decide what you see - all sellers have the same chance to be seen in product lists and search results.
  • No AI, no dropshipping: All AI-generated content is banned on Hanti. Dropshipping is not allowed either. We only accept products made by the sellers themselves.
  • Buyer protection: All orders have to be manually accepted by the seller within three days from purchase, otherwise you’ll get your money back (protects you from inactive sellers). You also have the right to get your money back if the order is not shipped in time.
  • Buy directly from the seller: Hanti is no middleman between buyer and seller, we only handle the marketplace. When you place an order it goes directly to the seller, who also processes and ships your order.
  • Hosted in the EU: Hanti is developed and hosted in Sweden. All data is handled within the EU (except for payments which are managed by Stripe [and Mollie] for now).
  • All sellers are verified: We manually verify all sellers before they can publish any products.

We have more features planned, and will add more countries later on. Questions and feedback is welcome if you have any!
