You already put the story in — the wood you chose, the hours at the bench, the person it was made for. CraftedLink lets the piece tell that story itself, years after it left your booth, with nothing but a tap of the phone in its new owner's pocket.
Who made it, when, and from what — plus your care instructions — attached to the piece itself, not to a hang tag that gets thrown away.
A story page can carry your photos of the build, your care notes, even your voice. Gift buyers pass your name along with the piece.
Tags can point at your shop, your newest collection, a show schedule — and be repointed remotely, without touching a piece you've already sold.
Here's the quiet math of including a tag in everything you make: the tag itself costs pennies against the piece, and every piece you deliver becomes a doorway to two upgrades the buyer can ask for after it's already in their home.
They fall in love with the piece, then want it to point at their own photo album — that's an upgrade. Their daughter's wedding comes, and suddenly the cutting board deserves a full story page with photos and a voice — that's an upgrade. The tag in the piece never changes; only where it points. No new hardware, no retrofit, nothing to ship — an after-sale upgrade is pure margin on work you already sold.
And the managing part stays light: branded self-service portals are coming, where your buyers submit their own photos and stories for your one-tap approval — so the labor of managing links and story pages stays minimal, even as the tags multiply.
Anniversaries, weddings, memorials, a piece passed down — the moments that make people reach for a story arrive on their own schedule, long after checkout. A tag in every piece means you're already there when they do.
Three plans, and the whole thing is built the way a maker would build it — nothing recurring you don't get back, nothing your customer has to sign up for, and no hardware games.
The Starter plan costs nothing a month. Mint tags, ship care pages with every piece, and hand out upgrade codes your customers redeem on their own page — codes work with Etsy, a card reader, or cash.
Studio and Signature charge a monthly or yearly fee — and every dollar of it returns to you as CraftedLink credit, which is what pays for the pages your customers unlock. Sell real volume and the platform effectively costs you nothing; a quiet month still bought the dashboard. Credit rolls over for a full year.
Hand out codes, send buyers to your own shop — or, on Studio and up, connect your own Stripe so the upgrade button on your customers' pages pays you directly. We take no cut of your sales. Ever.
Buy NFC or QR tags from us and the hardware is in the price — or print and source your own and register them for nothing. Either way your customer's care page comes free with the piece, and they never need an account to see it, build on it, or keep it. Sourcing your own? Here's the short list of what we use — sized to what the dashboard prints.
Plan fees are written down in one place — the Terms — and your per-page wholesale rate shows in your dashboard before you commit a cent. Prices appear at checkout, never buried in a page like this one.
CraftedLink comes out of the Crafted Carvings workshop — we built it for our own pieces first, and we run it the way we'd want a tool run for us: plainly, honestly, and with a written promise behind every hosted page.
We're bringing makers on carefully, one conversation at a time. Write to us with a line about what you make — we'd genuinely love to see it.
The whole deal, in writing: Terms for makers.
