Why FASTION

Built by the culture,
for the culture.

We're not building another Shein. We're building the marketplace your customers wish existed: curated, underground, festival-first.

Reach the culture
Your customers are already here, festival-goers actively looking for something different. No Meta ads. No paid placements. Just the right eyeballs, organically.
Keep your brand
No white-label. No anonymous SKUs. Every product carries your name, your story, your IG. We send shoppers to your brand, not ours.
Founding terms
The first 25 vendors lock founding terms for life: they never rise, even when we scale and standard pricing moves. Your full rate card comes with your invite — before you sign anything.
Marketing built-in
Instagram & TikTok content, vendor spotlights and festival activations. Founding vendors are in the launch campaign at no extra cost — you make the product, we bring the audience.
How it works

Four steps to launch.

We don't rush this. Every founding vendor gets onboarded personally. You'll be on a call with us, not lost in a portal.

Transparent terms

The deal,
up front.

We hate hidden costs. Here's the whole structure — what you pay, what you don't, and what you get. You'll see your exact rate in writing before you sign anything.

Commission only. No monthly fees. No listing fees. No setup costs. You pay nothing unless you sell. When you sell, we take a percentage and you keep the rest — and founding vendors lock that percentage for life.

Weekly payouts via Stripe Connect. Every Monday, your earnings from the previous week land in your bank account. No 30-day hold like Etsy, no manual invoicing.

You ship. We handle the rest. You stock and ship from your studio. FASTION handles the storefront, payments, customer service, returns, and chargebacks. We absorb the operational chaos so you can focus on making.

You can sell elsewhere too. No exclusivity clauses. List on FASTION, Depop, your own site, Etsy, wherever you want. The only ask: keep stock honest across channels.

Founding terms are for life. Whatever you lock as a founding vendor stays yours forever, even as we grow and standard pricing rises. Founding members are founding members.

FAQ

Questions you'd
be mad not to ask.

Public launch is later in 2026. The founding vendor cohort is being recruited now so we can build the catalogue, get product photography sorted, and run a soft beta with a small audience before opening to everyone. As a founding vendor you're live on the platform from soft beta — earning from day one.
No. You stock and ship from your own studio. FASTION never holds inventory. When a customer orders, the order routes to you with their address and packing slip. You ship within your stated turnaround time. Easier for you, faster to launch for us.
Every Monday. You set up a Stripe Connect account during onboarding (takes 10 minutes — Stripe handles the KYC and tax stuff). Every Monday morning we batch the previous week's sales (minus our commission and Stripe's fee) and Stripe pushes the funds to your bank account.
Yes. No exclusivity, ever. List on FASTION, Depop, Etsy, your own site, wherever — we don't lock you in. The only ask is honest stock counts so we don't oversell. If a top is gone, mark it sold across channels.
We'll tell you honestly and personally — no template rejection. Most "no"s are because the brand is too early, too generic, or doesn't fit the festival/rave lens. If we say "not yet," it usually means come back when you've built more product or sharpened the brand. We'll tell you specifically what to work on.
FASTION handles all customer service and chargeback disputes. If a customer wants to return a faulty item, we manage the conversation and the refund. We only deduct from your payout if the return is genuinely your responsibility (e.g. you sent the wrong item). Buyer remorse returns: handled by FASTION, not your problem.
FASTION owns the marketing relationship — we send the emails, run the social, etc. But every product page shows your brand prominently and links back to your IG. Customers know they bought from you. You can include your own thank-you note / business card / discount code for direct purchases in the package. We encourage it.
FASTION runs the marketing engine — TikTok and IG content, vendor spotlights, email campaigns, festival activations and creator seeding as we scale. Founding vendors are included in all of it at no extra cost. Tag #fastionvendor on your own content and we'll amplify it.
Because 25 vendors gives us enough catalogue depth to feel like a real marketplace, but stays small enough that every vendor matters. Direct line to the team, a voice in the roadmap, custom marketing pushes. After the first 25 we open a wider tier, and the experience changes.
