About GoCoop Marketplace

At GoCoop (pronounced go-co-op) we connect India's artisans, weaver co-operatives, craft organisations and clusters directly with consumers across the world. our national award winning global platform brings together handloom, handicraft artisans and cooperatives from over 55 clusters, delivering authentic handmade products, ensuring fair prices for both buyer and seller. GoCoop Marketplace supports both retail and wholesale transactions.

● Retail - Consumers can directly purchase a product online from our sellers. Sellers would ship the product directly to the Customer. GoCoop coordinates the shipment and customer delivery process with the producers.

● Wholesale - National and international buyers including retailers, brands, designers, boutiques and home entrepreneurs can buy and source handwoven sarees, fabrics and more directly from the producers at prices that are lower than from traditional sources.

GoCoop Social Marketplace aims to enable these organisations to realize fair value of their produce by directly selling to consumers as well as generate more employment. The cooperatives, and various craft based groups, who are a part of our marketplace are producers with the objective of generating livelihoods for their members, most of whom are weavers and artisans. We support these organisations in two ways:

● Whenever you buy a craft product through our marketplace, you are providing employment of at least 2 days to maximum of two weeks to a weaver or artisan.

● The sales proceeds of your online order directly goes to these producers thereby eliminating intermediaries benefiting both the sellers and the buyer.
