Ready to make your shop your own?

Your storefront is often the first thing buyers see.

Adding photos and a little information about yourself can help people feel more connected to your work and more confident about buying from you.

Where to start

To set up a shop on Trove Market, start by adding details that will help buyers learn more about you and what you make.

1. Get ready

Gather:

  • Your shop name
  • A profile photo, logo, or image
  • A banner image
  • A few sentences about you and what you make

2. Choose a store name (if you haven’t already)

Not sure what to call your shop? Start with a simple name that shows what you make or reflects your style. You can always change it later.

3. Add a profile photo

Buyers often enjoy seeing who’s behind a shop. A photo of yourself or something you make is a great place to start.

4. Add a banner image

Think of this as the welcome sign for your shop. A photo of something you make is a great place to start. (Recommended size: 1200 × 400 (3:1 ratio). Keep file under 5 MB. PNG is best, but JPG/JPEG also works.)

We’ve created easy-to-use templates that you can customize for your storefront. Follow the instructions below to get started.

  1. Open the Canva template. We’ve done the design work for you. Simply open the template and make it your own.
  2. Upload your image. Click Uploads on the left side, then click Upload Files and choose your image. Choose a product photo or image that represents your shop. Once it loads, drag it into the photo placeholder area.
  3. Add your shop name. If you’d like, add a short sentence about what you make. Delete any text you do not need.
  4. Download your design. Once you’re happy with it, click Share in the top right corner, then click Download. Choose PNG as the file type. Then, click Download again.
  5. Upload it to Trove. Head back to your shop and upload your new banner.

5. Write a short About section

Share a little about yourself, what you make, and why you enjoy creating it. A few honest sentences can help buyers feel more connected to your work.

Not sure what to write? Try answering just one question:

  • What do you enjoy making?
  • How did you get started?
  • What inspires you?
  • What do you hope people will like most about your products?

Remember: Your shop doesn’t have to be perfect. You don’t need a logo, professional photos, or a big brand to get started. What matters most is helping buyers understand who you are and what you create.
