Sell on the Mercantile.
You run a real Adirondack storefront — the rustic-goods barn on Route 9N, the gear shop on Main Street, the gallery in Old Forge. Surface that inventory to the regional audience already reading the publication, without leaving your point-of-sale, your fulfillment, or your relationship with each piece.
One counter, plainly kept.
A small first cohort, onboarded by hand in 2026 — editor-curated, eight percent commission, direct payouts, no platform fee, no exclusivity, no race-to-the-bottom pricing.
Your inventory, your prices.
Eight-percent commission per sale, well below typical platform splits. You set prices. You hold the SKUs. You decide what surfaces and what stays in the back room.
The cart, the checkout, the audience.
Mercantile-wide cart and checkout, Stripe Connect direct payouts in your business name, editorial product pages in the gazette voice, traffic from a publication that already covers your region.
Fulfillment from your shop.
You pack and ship from the existing storefront. We handle the order confirmation emails, the customer-service inquiries that aren't piece-specific, the after-sale editorial follow-up.
Who we’re reading first.
Your shelf, in the gazette.
A real editor reads each application. The faster path is to also forward the latest catalog or a representative product page — link in the form, attach in your follow-up email. We’ll write back within two weeks.
Tell us about the shop.
A real editor reads each of these. Be specific — what you stock, who walks in, what a shelf of yours would look like in the publication.
