How it works

Post. They text. You get paid.

01

Post like you always do

Fans comment a word like SHOP. CreatorCart DMs them your link in seconds.

02

Fans bid and buy by text

No app, no account. They reply with a bid and pay from a secure checkout link.

03

Text them about the next one

Every buyer joins your list. One text reaches all of them, no algorithm in the way.

Live auctions

Auctions that live in their texts.

Outbid alerts land on the lock screen instead of getting lost in a feed. That urgency is why auctions sell for more than fixed-price drops. Try one: 30 seconds, one other bidder.

    Comment to DM

    Turn “how much?” into a sale.

    When someone comments your keyword, CreatorCart answers in their DMs with a link, a discount code or a bid alert while they still want it. No more replying to 300 comments by hand.

    Your store

    One link for everything you sell.

    Your drops, auctions, store, next live show and a “text me” button, all behind one link in your bio. Your brand, with no marketplace noise next to it.

    What you keep

    Stop giving away a fifth of every sale.

    Marketplaces take 20% of everything you sell. CreatorCart takes 5%, so far more of every sale stays with you. And so does the buyer.

    What do you sell an item for?

    How many sales a month?

    On a marketplace

    You keep$240

    $60 in fees · 20%

    On CreatorCart

    You keep$276

    $24 in fees · 5% + card

    That's $36 more on every sale, or $900 more a month at 25 sales.

    Marketplace: Poshmark's standard 20% fee on sales over $15. CreatorCart: 5% plus standard card processing (2.9% + 30¢).

    Who it's for

    Made for people who sell what they post.

    One-of-a-kind pieces, sold to the highest bidder.

    One-of-ones create their own urgency. Post the piece, let fans bid by text, and skip the 20% marketplace cut.

    FAQ

    Good questions.

    Do my buyers need an app or an account?

    No. They bid and buy by text message and pay through a secure Stripe checkout link, the same way they'd pay anywhere online.

    What does it cost?

    Nothing to start, and no credit card to sign up. When you make a sale, CreatorCart takes 5% plus standard card processing. A 20% marketplace takes four times our cut.

    Is it okay to text my followers?

    Yes, when they opt in. Fans join your list by texting you or tapping subscribe on your page, and anyone can reply STOP to leave.

    Does comment-to-DM follow Instagram's rules?

    Yes. It runs through your connected Instagram professional account using Instagram's official messaging tools, not a bot logging in as you.

    Can I use it with my Shopify store?

    Yes. Install CreatorCart from the Shopify App Store and connect your shop.

    I don't do auctions. Is it still for me?

    Plenty of creators don't. Use fixed-price drops, your storefront and comment-to-DM. Auctions are just one way to sell.

    How long does setup take?

    About 10 minutes: connect Instagram, add your products and share your link.

    Your next drop could sell out by text.

    Set up your store, connect Instagram and start selling in about 10 minutes. No credit card.
