How it works

Many thanks for showing your interest in joining the Designed in Dorset community. In these challenging times it is getting more and more difficult to get people to your shops or markets, and we hope that this new platform will make it easier for you to find new customers from all over the UK.Our aim is to make this site the "go-to" resource people wanting to find out more about our beloved county and registration could not be easier. It goes without saying that we are here to help, and if you are not sure about how to come onboard then please do give us a call! If you have a website already, it is easy (ish) for us to help you import / export products. Designed In Dorset works on a commission model - we do not charge any monthly fees and you only pay if we sell something on your behalf. For this, we charge 10% commission which goes towards credit card fees, promotion and administration of the website
