Build your own shop alongside Etsy or eBay.
Already selling on Etsy or eBay and considering your own shop? We help you plan and build it: which products to include, how buyers will find the site and how order handling will fit into your day. Send us your existing shop and your idea, and we reply with a free initial written assessment.
Plan my own shop with you See a working exampleWhat does your own shop need to do?
We work out what you want to offer on your website and what is currently difficult on the marketplace. That helps define the content, functions and processes your shop needs at launch.
See the exampleYour brand needs more room
You want to show how your products are made, which options go together or who they are for. We plan the content and the route through to ordering with that in mind.
You want another way to sell
The marketplace can keep running while you build your own shop. Together we consider which products make the launch manageable and how you will bring visitors to the new site.
You want to avoid doing everything twice
If both shops use the same stock, inventory and options need to stay consistent. We establish which data you already maintain and where a shared process would help.
We plan your shop with you and build it.
Together we work out how to organise your range and what buyers need to know before ordering. We adapt the design and technology to your business so that you can maintain the shop and handle orders afterwards.
Plan my own shop with youWho will find your shop?
Marketplace visitors do not automatically move to a new website. We discuss where future visits could come from, such as relevant Google searches, your existing content or people who already know your brand. The rules of each platform are part of that discussion.
What will we do, and what will you handle?
You may already have good product photos and want to add the listings yourself. Or you may need help with structure, copy and images too. Our proposal sets out what we will do and what you will prepare, so you can judge the total work involved.

More visits to the Hopen website.
Hundeschule Hopen previously received around five to ten website visits a month. Over the last 28 days, it received more than 200. That growth came without paid advertising.
The course page explains what joining involves: can you take part without having attended a puppy class, how is the right group chosen, and where can you find prices? Links lead to further information and registration, giving someone looking for a course answers before they get in touch.

What needs to work together when someone orders?
Product information, options, delivery and payment need to form a clear buying journey. On your side, stock management, fulfilment and content updates matter too. We plan the shop around how your business will handle those tasks.

Before your enquiry
A good fit if …
- You already sell on a marketplace and are considering a shop of your own.
- You want to understand the technical requirements and ongoing work before building it.
You have not made your first sales yet? We can discuss which starting point makes sense for your offer.
Ask us for advice How a project worksDo I need to give up Etsy or eBay?
No. Your own shop can run alongside your marketplace listings. The important part is organising your range, stock and ongoing updates. We discuss whether both channels make sense for your business.
Which shop platform would you recommend?
That depends on what you sell, the functions you need and who will maintain the shop. We start with those questions. A platform that suits a small, straightforward range may not be the best choice for personalisation or many options.
How much would it cost to have you build my shop?
After the free initial assessment, we can work on a proposal with you. The range, design, integrations and content you provide are among the factors that matter. You receive a total price for the agreed scope before commissioning us.
Can you use the product data I already have?
We look at what your marketplace or current software can export and which parts the new shop can use. Options, images and identifiers need to remain consistent. An existing export is a starting point; its actual contents determine how it can be used.
How do I bring visitors to my new shop?
We plan which questions and products your website should help people find and how your existing content can point to it. The traffic sources that suit you depend on your range and audience. Building the shop and making it known should therefore be planned together.
An independent shop can complement your marketplace offer when the range, audience acquisition and ongoing work fit together. Planning therefore begins with current sales and the specific reason for adding another channel.
Give the additional channel a clear purpose
Moving from Etsy to an independent shop does not require closing the marketplace presence. Both can run in parallel. What matters is what you want to solve differently: explaining a complex product, providing a particular selection or connecting with an existing website. This requirement is a stronger basis than a general wish for independence.
An independent shop adds design options and responsibility. Content, technical maintenance and visitor sources need organisation. Suitability also depends on which tasks you want to handle yourself. For the initial assessment, provide your current shop and a short description of the intended change.
Review product data before transferring it
Transferring Etsy or eBay product data requires an existing export to fit the new shop’s requirements. Identifiers, images and variants belong together. A label sufficient on a marketplace may need expanding for navigation through your own range. An export is therefore planning material rather than proof of a completed migration.
Parallel sales also raise stock questions. Where are changes maintained and which system is authoritative? Without an agreed process, availability can diverge. Whether an interface is needed or limited manual maintenance suffices depends on the range and frequency of changes. Define this decision before implementation.
Before a larger transfer, use a small selection representing your actual range. It can reveal missing fields and differences between systems early.
Choose systems and functions around everyday work
Choosing Shopify, WooCommerce or another solution starts with products and workflows. Many variants, personalisation or required integrations change requirements. The person maintaining content later also needs to work with the structure. A system name alone does not explain which scope fits.
An offer defines design, page types, functions and supplied content together. Migration and interfaces belong explicitly in that discussion. A website and shop rebuild is planned against actual requirements; a free initial assessment does not start development. You receive the agreed overall scope and price before commissioning implementation.
Plan audience acquisition alongside the build
An independent shop does not automatically receive the marketplace’s reach. Planning therefore includes which products and questions should be discoverable through search and which existing content can link to them. Appropriate visitor sources depend on the offer and audience. Another sales channel alone does not guarantee additional orders.
Compare one-off setup and recurring expenses over the same period. Include fees, hosting, maintenance and possible integrations fully. The initial written assessment can help narrow down the unresolved question. Then decide whether a smaller start makes sense and which tasks are actually required for manageable operations.
