Step by step
How to sell greeting cards online in 6 steps.
Sort by occasion first
People shop for a reason: a birthday this week, a new baby, a loss. Make a collection for each occasion and put the next big holiday at the top of your home page.
Say what comes in the sleeve
Size, card weight, blank or with a message inside, envelope color, and whether it comes in a cello sleeve or plastic-free. Buyers want to know before they pay.
Photograph front, inside and envelope
Show the front straight on, the inside open, and the card with its envelope. A photo of a hand holding the card shows the size at a glance.
Sell packs and boxed sets
Single cards make small orders. Packs of thank-you cards, boxed holiday sets and a mixed birthday pack raise the order and suit people who keep a drawer of cards.
Start the holidays early
Holiday cards sell from autumn, and shops order theirs months ahead. List them early, and put your last posting date for holiday delivery on the page.
Open a wholesale route for shops
Gift shops and stationers buy cards in packs of each design. Add a wholesale page with “price on request” so shops can ask for your line sheet and terms.

Before you start
Good to know
Square cards cost more to mail
In the US, square envelopes and stiff or lumpy cards (with buttons or ribbon) usually need extra postage. Say so on the product page, so the card your buyer sends doesn’t come back.
Weigh a single and a set
One card with a stiff board can often go as a letter or large letter, but a boxed set is a parcel. Weigh a packed order of each and set a fixed rate that fits.
Your own art and words
Lines from songs, films and books can be under copyright, and so can characters. Use your own artwork and wording, or check permission before you print.
General information to help you get started, not legal advice. Rules differ by country, state and product, so check the ones that apply to you.

Questions
Good to know
How do I sell my greeting cards to shops?
Make a line sheet with each design, its code and pack size, and add a wholesale page with “price on request”. Shops send their details, the request lands in your Inbox, and you reply by email with terms and the line sheet.
Should greeting cards be blank inside?
Many makers sell most cards blank so they suit more people, and print a message only where it helps, such as sympathy or holiday sets. Say on each page which it is.
Can customers send a card straight to someone else?
Customers can enter any shipping address at Stripe checkout, so a card can go straight to the person it’s for. If you offer handwritten messages, explain on the page how customers send you the words.
When should I start selling holiday cards?
Shops often order holiday cards in summer, and shoppers start buying in autumn. Have your holiday range ready for wholesale enquiries by midsummer and on your website by early autumn.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. You describe your business in your own words and Cornerrr builds the website. Afterwards you change things by clicking, or by asking the assistant in plain words.
How much does it cost?
Building and previewing your website is free, with no card needed. To go live and take payments, choose a plan from $19 a month. Every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; a card is needed to start it.
