Every artist alley, open early.
Browse every booth at a convention before you go. Reserve the prints, charms and stickers you want, then collect them from the artist with an order code. No line, nothing sold out.
Pre-order at the con, collect at the booth.
- 01
Before the show
Artists list their catalogue against a convention. You browse every booth, reserve the pieces you want, and pay online, or hold them for cash on the day.
- 02
At the booth
Show your order code at the artist’s table. They hand you your pieces from the pile they set aside. No line, nothing sold out from under you.
- 03
After the con
Artists get their numbers (what moved, what didn’t, how much came in before the doors opened) to plan the next show.
For the artist behind the table
Turn setup guesswork into pre-event revenue, and walk into the hall knowing what to print.
Sell before you arrive
Reservations come in for weeks before the doors open. Print to the orders, not to a hunch.
Your booth, findable
Every product page carries your table number and a map crop. Buyers walk straight to you.
Cash or card, your call
Take Stripe payments online, or mark items pay-at-booth. Set it per convention.
Deals built in
Bundle prints, buy-x-get-y, percent-off. Set promotions without a spreadsheet.
Numbers after the show
See what sold and what sat, so the next catalogue is sharper.
No cut of your sales
Free to showcase, $10 a convention to sell. Otakumart takes nothing from your orders.
For everyone walking the floor
See the whole alley before you set foot inside, and spend the day collecting instead of hunting.
Browse before you go
Every vendor, every catalogue, laid out before the convention starts.
Skip the line
Reserve online, show a code at the table, walk away with your pieces.
Know where to go
Booth number on everything. No wandering the hall map.
Nothing sells out on you
Your pieces are set aside the moment you reserve.

Questions
Are you affiliated with any conventions?
No. Otakumart is an independent marketplace, not run by convention organizers. List yourself here only once the convention itself has accepted you.
Does signing up give me a booth at the convention?
No. You opt into a convention on Otakumart after you've already secured your table through the convention's own registration.
What are the fees?
Showing your booth and catalogue is free. To take orders at a convention (pre-orders online or card payments at your table) you activate that convention for $10, or $5 if you do it more than a week before the show, plus tax. Otakumart takes no cut of your sales; Stripe's standard processing fee applies to card payments.
Can I use Otakumart just to showcase, without taking orders?
Yes. Set your convention page to view-only, or mark individual products as unavailable online. It works as a digital catalogue even if you only take cash on the day.
Can I get a refund on my convention signup?
Yes. A full refund minus payment processing fees, as long as the convention hasn't gone live and no customer purchases have been processed.
Do you support multiple currencies and sales tax?
Yes. Currency and sales tax are set per convention, so international events are straightforward.
I want a convention that isn't listed yet.
