To our incredible community of makers, artists, and supporters: thank you. You believed in our vision of a more caring economy, and together we created something truly special—a marketplace built on generosity, creativity, and connection.
While we didn’t reach the scale needed to continue, we’re deeply proud of what we accomplished together. The thousands of members who joined us, the beautiful products created, the causes supported, and the friendships formed—these will always matter. We encourage you to find and follow your favorite sellers on social media so you can continue supporting their work. Many will be moving to new platforms, and your continued support means the world to them. We’re grateful to have been part of your journey, and we’re cheering you on as you continue to share your gifts with the world.
Timeline
We know this news brings many questions, and we want to provide as much clarity as possible. Below you’ll find important details about the closing timeline and what it means for your shop.
If you don’t see your question addressed here, please contact us at support@goimagine.com.
What should I do before April 6, 2026?
We recommend completing the following steps before your dashboard access ends:
After careful consideration, we’ve made the difficult decision to close the goimagine marketplace.
We took a chance on a new philanthropic marketplace model for makers and artists. While it resonated with a passionate group, we ultimately were unable to reach the scale required for long-term sustainability. We came close, but sadly fell short.
This decision was not made lightly. We are incredibly grateful for every seller who trusted us with their business.
Yes. Customer purchases will remain open until March 23, 2026.
Please communicate with your customers about the closure and when any products will ship. Sellers will have access to their dashboard to fulfill any open orders until April 6, 2026.
If you would like to export your product data from goimagine to import into another platform, you can do so by following the instructions here: help.goimagine.com/articles/141891-export-products
Please note: exporting your products is a suggested step, not a requirement — especially if your listings already exist on another platform. If you plan to reuse your product data elsewhere, we recommend completing your export before April 6, 2026, as seller dashboard access will end on that date.
Sellers will have access to their dashboard to fulfill any open orders until April 6, 2026.
Please ensure you proactively communicate with your customers about shipment timelines and any potential delays.
If you purchased your domain through goimaginedomains.com, you will need to transfer your domain to a new registrar before the platform shuts down.
Instructions for unlocking and transferring your domain can be found here: help.goimagine.com/articles/138852-unlocking-and-transferring-your-domain
We recommend starting this process as soon as possible to avoid any disruption.
No. If your domain is registered with another provider (such as GoDaddy or Namecheap), you do not need to transfer it.
However, you will need to log in to your domain registrar and update your DNS settings to point your domain to your new website or hosting service once you’ve chosen one.
If you’re unsure how to update DNS settings, your domain provider’s support team can assist you.
Your Stripe account is separate from goimagine and is not affected by our platform closing.
You will continue to have full access to your Stripe dashboard, including your transaction history and payout records, by logging in directly at stripe.com.
If you move your shop to another platform or sell independently, you may continue using your existing Stripe account as your payment processor if that platform supports it.
All active seller subscriptions will automatically end when dashboard access is disabled. If you choose to cancel your subscription before that date, your shop and seller dashboard access will end immediately. Please be sure to download any information you need before canceling, as subscriptions cannot be reactivated once canceled.
Seller dashboards will remain accessible until April 6, 2026.
After this date:
Please download any needed records before that deadline.
While the marketplace is closing, we recognize how meaningful the goimagine community has been.
The Community Forum will shut down along with the marketplace (final date TBD). We will share that date as soon as it is confirmed.
Our Facebook community will remain open for the foreseeable future. Any updates regarding the group will be communicated directly within Facebook.
The right platform depends on your business model, product type, and long-term goals. Some sellers may choose to:
We encourage you to research your options carefully and choose the platform that best aligns with your needs, audience, and growth plans. Before making a decision, consider:
We are unable to recommend a specific platform. However, many sellers are actively discussing their experiences and sharing insights inside our Facebook community. We encourage you to join the conversation there to learn from fellow makers and explore what may be the best fit for you.
We strongly encourage you to connect with the makers you’ve discovered on goimagine through social media before the marketplace closes.
Visit their shop pages to find links to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or their personal websites, and follow them directly. Many makers also offer email newsletters to keep you updated on new releases, promotions, and events.
Once the marketplace shuts down on March 23, 2026, shop pages will no longer be accessible — so we recommend connecting with your favorite makers as soon as possible.
The relationships built here don’t have to end just because the platform does.
Please reach out to support@goimagine.com.
We sincerely wish you continued success with your small business and thank you for being part of the goimagine community.
