Etsy shop alternatives on Nostr and/or Bitcoin-only platforms?

659 sats \ 17 comments \ @south_korea_ln 19 May nostr

I want to set up a mirror website of my wife's Etsy Shop.

What are the available market places on Nostr? I think I've seen it once, but don't remember the name. It would have to look professional and not just at the level of a MVP.

If such marketplaces do not exist yet, can you also recommend me the best platforms where I could make it Bitcoin-only for the payments? The platform itself can then be on a centralized protocol, that would be ok (maybe even preferable at this point?).

Not sure if it’s exactly what you are looking for, but the marketplace apps I know of are Shopstr and the market section in Coracle.

Shopstr for sure

How many users do they have? 🤔

As many users as all of nostr. I can't name all clients that have integrated marketplace, but how nostr works is that these clients are all integrating the same protocol. So any post made on shopstr.store for instance, are the same marketplace posts that show up on any other nostr client with marketplace integration.

I know Amethyst, shopstr, plebianmarket, coracle have integrated this. I'm sure there are a ton more. For some reason the marketplace drop-down on nostrapps.com is broken, it check there too. I let @Karnage know it was broken already so I'm sure he'll fix it soon.

Here is the NIP: https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/blob/master/15.md

Thanks for the replies. I'll look into the different options, and update if I end up deciding on one of them. On first glance, some look promising, but the visuals aren't there, just yet.

As a side note, does any one have data on how any of these platforms do in terms of google SEO? Would a nostr market place (or even a simple NOSTR post) show up if one where to search for it through google? If not, until it does, one should not expect any of these market places to work outside the little closed bubble of Bitcoiners.

There are actually many surprises that I am getting regularly. Etsy is a shop and Nostr as mirror marketplace. I am intrigued by both of these. I think I need to explore them both. Thanks.

Shopstr can be an option but I don't see much interest in this platform even by Bitcoiners. Etsy has made it a brand around creative people. Shopster needs to evolve to compete.

Plebian Market is my favorite and has a pretty sharp UI, built on Nostr and is Bitcoin only.
