Marketplace vs owned store

Discovery on someone else's mall versus checkout on a shop you control.

Definition

Marketplaces (Etsy, Creative Market) send traffic and take a large cut. An owned store requires you to bring the audience but keeps the customer and the brand.

How it works in Quickshops

Quickshops is the owned-store path. Use it when Instagram, email, or YouTube already send buyers.
