Here are the steps to join!
Below are the steps you’ll need to take to have your business in the Made With Love Market as a Prisma learner!
Step 1: Read through everything on this page with one of your parents.
The Made With Love Market is a GREAT way to get your business skills moving and to have the opportunity to sell your crafted goods to other families!
In order to participate - it is important that you read through this page to make sure you understand what is needed for you to participate.
The market kicks off on April 17, 2026 with a Made With Love Launch Party.
Step 2: Ask your parent for their permission to participate and their help if needed.
When you sell things in the market, you must have the permission of your parent.
Parents will be expected to supervise that your website that you choose to sell on is working correctly and they need to agree to help you set your prices, collect money and make sure that you ship all items promptly as part of your agreement for participating.
Step 3: Decide what you want to sell!
Here is the fun part! Decide what you love to make and start making!
See FAQ’s below for items you may not sell in the market - but other than that - start getting creative!
Work with your parent to make sure you are going to sell a product that you can sell at a profit and remember to keep in mind the costs of making your product.
Remember, you don’t want to lose money and having your parent help you think this part through is important!
Step 4: Build your website!
You will need to submit a website link to participate.
You can use any web platform you would like but must be able to build the site yourself.
Examples of great sites include Wix, Google Sites, Squarespace.
You could also use an existing craft sales platform like Etsy if you would like.
Each website tool varies in complexity - so feel free to keep it as simple as a google site as well.
Step 5: Complete your vendor application
Perhaps the MOST IMPORTANT STEP!!!
Please complete this vendor application form to save your spot in our Prisma Made With Love Market.
We must receive your application no later than April 11, 2026 to be a part of the market this year.
Step 6: Decide how you and your parent would like to handle money.
Depending on the type of product and the website you select - you may handle money in the way that is easiest.
Parents should be involved in this process.
We recommend using a site that can help collect funds for you OR Venmo.
You are welcome to use the approach that works best for your family. You can keep this process as simple as you’d like.
Step 7: Determine how much it costs to ship your product - and then decide what you want to charge for shipping your product.
One of your final details is to think about what it costs to ship your product and making sure to charge your buyer for this.
Please make sure to research shipping times and costs and keep those in mind when you create your shop’s site.
We recommend a flat rate cost via first-class USPS.
All orders must ship promptly after payment is received.
International shipping will only be supported for sellers that already have the ability to support this type of order.
If you are selling something bulky or heavy, we recommend making a trip to your local post office to see what it will cost on average to ship.
Step 8: Congrats! You are ready to sell! Share your site with friends and family!
Start telling friends and family when you are ready to sell - get ahead and get your business going!
Your site will be live on our website to all Prisma families on April 17, 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age learners can apply?
All learners in all grades are welcome to participate and have their own shop with their handmade or designed goods.
What are people selling in the market?
Get creative, have fun and make things you are excited about. From handmade knitted goods to hats, pottery, jewelry and more - the goal is to offer things for sale that you have made by hand or designed yourself.
What am I NOT allowed to sell?
You may not resell other people’s items.
You may not sell illegal or explicit items - they must be appropriate for a school sale.
You may not sell perishable or food items that will not reach your buyer in the time those goods would become perishable.
Do my items need to be spring themed?
No they do not! You may use your creativity to create products you think people would like to buy. Think about some of your favorite personal gifts, birthday gifts - and come up with great ideas.
Can my parents help me make my products?
Yes! Parent support is welcome, appreciated and expected.
We do ask that learners are involved in the process - but we also anticipate that many parents will get involved in this “micro spring business” and will play a vital and wonderful role in helping kids develop their exposure to entrepreneurial adventures as a family!
When does the market start ?
Starting on April, 17th - the Prisma Made With Love Market will be open for our shoppers to click through to your site! You need to be fully ready to accept orders by this date.
Can I sell a digital product?
This market is for physical items for sale.
If you design a digital design that is wonderful - and you will need to attach those designs to actual products for sale.
There are many platforms to help do this where you can ship directly to your buyers. Two examples are Printful and Printify.
Are there deadlines for shipping items?
If you are selling custom items for Mother’s Day (May 10th in the US) or Father’s Day (June 21st in the US), you should be able to ship those items in order for them to be received by those dates.
Otherwise, plan to ship items immediately after you receive payment.
How do I accept money for the items I sell?
Every learner and their parent will need to decide how they would like to accept payment.
Some learners may choose to use an existing platform like Squarespace, Shopify or Etsy to sell their goods.
We expect most learners to build a simple website with photos of their products along with a google form where families can submit their order.
We recommend families consider VENMO for charging other families and handling payments in a simple way like this if you don’t want to get complicated about things. VENMO is our preferred way for handling payment for those of you with simple sites.
How do we ship our items?
All items must be shipped via United States Postal Service First Class as a MINIMUM service level of shipping.
If you prefer to use UPS or FEDEX - that is also an option.
Shipping should be INCLUDED in the price of your product or detailed prior to checkout if you are doing it differently. Shipping should never be a separate charge that is a surprise to the buyer.
Please include tracking information to your buyer as possible.
Can I sell items with the Prisma logo?
Yes! Feel free to share your Prisma school spirit!
How will my shop be promoted?
You will have your first opportunity on April 17, 2026 to introduce yourself and your shop, share the story behind your creations, highlight what makes your business unique, and invite the community to explore and support your work.
Additionally, we will promote learner shops to the parent community.
Can we use our shops to donate to charity?
This is a lovely idea! Be sure to specify which charity and share more information about your chosen charity on your site.
Can we ship internationally?
The market will be organized into the USA and International shops. If you are a learner that lives outside of the USA - consider using a platform that creates digital goods you can print on and ship from within the USA if you want to be listed as a USA shipping eligible business.
Learners who have sites that reside outside of the USA will be listed in the “International” section of the site along with their country location.
Can we have more than one shop?
Yes! We love the entrepreurial spirit and variety of creative pursuits at Prisma! If you have a second shop selling in a different category, feel free to complete a separate vendor application form and we will include your shops on the website.
Can I sell my goods to people outside of Prisma?
Of course! This is your mini-business. The Prisma Made With Love Market is simply a place for us to aggregate all of the sites of our learners to make it easier for Prisma families to purchase from and support each of our learner’s businesses.
You are welcome and encouraged to sell outside of the Prisma Community and to share our Prisma Made With Love Market as well!
Will there be a zoom event?
Yes! We will host a Made With Love Market Launch Party on April 17, 2026.
Where can we find the link to all of the shops?
You can find all of the learner shops here - https://www.prismaparentcommunity.com/prismamarket
