What you get

An infrastructure
for scale.

AYA isn't a marketplace that takes a cut and walks away. We're an export desk, a content team, a payments rail, a logistics partner, and a brand-building studio. The fee is the same. The leverage isn't.

01

AI product listings

Paste an existing product URL or upload 3 photos. Our AI writes the title, description, SEO meta and tags. List a product in about 60 seconds.

02

Free content shoot

New vendors get a free professional content shoot at the AYA studio. Editorial-quality images you keep and use anywhere, not just on AYA.

03

Weekly payouts

Vendors are paid every Wednesday. No 60-day holds, no surprises. The cash flow that lets you keep making the next thing.

06

Real editorial

Featured in The Edit, the podcast, the newsletter — the team writes about real makers. Get found, not because of paid placement, but because we tell your story.

The AI listing flow

List a product
before the kettle
boils.

The biggest barrier for makers isn't pricing. It's the four hours per product you spend writing descriptions, choosing tags, sizing images, optimising for search. We took that down to a minute.

"AYA paid me
before Etsy
did."

"I was wrestling with Etsy for two years. The fees were quiet, the support was non-existent, and I had three orders to fulfil in Europe that I couldn't ship. AYA put me through the export pilot, took the lab tests off my plate, and paid me weekly. I've doubled what I make from one platform."
