“I want to have a website that I can send people who can buy my products.”
— the home maker we built this for. Now your Picnic profile is that link.
How it works
Get featured
We showcase your products on Picnic Marketplace with your story.
Sell your way
Shoppers tap “Order” and land in your DMs or WhatsApp chat — ready to buy.
Why founding makers say yes
No commission on your sales
Marketplaces in the UAE commonly take 10–27% of every sale. With Picnic you pay one flat feature fee and keep 100% of what you sell.
Customers come straight to you
Every product links to your own Instagram or WhatsApp. You keep your customers, your conversations and your way of doing business.
Be found beyond your circle
Your products sit alongside other local makers in one marketplace, so shoppers who have never heard of you can discover you.
Responsible business, from day one
One flat, transparent fee and no commission. Honest product listings. Customers deal directly with the maker. Guidance on licensing and food safety so every featured business sells with confidence. Local makers who grow the right way make stronger communities.

Questions
What exactly do I get?
Your own featured maker profile on Picnic Marketplace: your name, story, products and prices, with an order button on each product that opens your Instagram or WhatsApp.
Do you take a cut of my sales?
No. You pay a flat fee to be featured. Customers order and pay you directly, so every dirham of the sale is yours.
Why only AED 49?
This is our founding pilot. We're inviting the first 30 local makers to be featured and help us shape the marketplace. After 14 December 2026, the feature fee goes to AED 149.
I've never sold online before. Is this for me?
Yes. If you have an Instagram page or a WhatsApp number, you're ready. We'll help you prepare your photos and product descriptions.
Do I need a trade licence?
Selling responsibly matters to us. Many UAE home sellers use a home‑business or e‑Trader licence, and food sellers also need food‑safety approval. Our guide points you to the right first steps for your emirate.
What happens when the month ends?
The founding offer closes on 14 December 2026. Makers who join by then keep the founding fee.
