· 6 min read · Selling, Welsh
An honest comparison of cost and features for Welsh sellers — commission, bilingualism, and local reach.
The honest comparison
| Feature | Gwerthu (linc.cymru) | Etsy | Shopify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission / fees | 1% | ~6.5% + listing + payment | From £25/mo + payment |
| Welsh-first | Yes, by default | No | No |
| Built-in link-in-bio | Yes | No | Partial |
| NFC business card | Yes | No | No |
| Local community map | Yes | No | No |
Where each one wins
- Etsy has a huge global craft audience baked in.
- Shopify is powerful if you want a full standalone store and have the budget.
- [Gwerthu](https://linc.cymru/gwerthu) wins on low cost, Welsh-first selling, local discovery via the Cymuned map, and an all-in-one profile + NFC + AI stack.
The best of both
Many sellers keep an Etsy shop and use linc.cymru as their bilingual home base — the link in every bio, the card in every hand, the storefront for direct, low-fee sales.
