More than an online store, long-term support
Meanwhile Boutique aims to support committed creators, artisans and brands, and to that end, we offer several services when you join our collective:
💻 The Marketplace ↓
➡️ Present and sell your creations on Meanwhile.Boutique
We work on a “photo consignment” basis with a commission on sales. Each brand has 2 pages on the site:
- 1 presentation page “Creator Story”
- 1 collection page of selected products
We offer the same prices as the brands, especially since most brands are synced via an API key, making it impossible to change the price. Every new brand gets visibility on the site and through our various communication tools (online store, social media, newsletter, blog posts, product selection, press relations, etc.).

☎️ Meanwhile [ + ] Concierge ↓
➡️ Grow your brand with à la carte services at negotiated rates
Meanwhile [ + ] offers turnkey services to support brands in their digital development. You benefit from our trusted network, which shares the same values: advice and turnkey services from professionals and experts at preferential rates to support you in international B2B distribution, communication, digital, social media, press relations, photoshoots, coaching, logistics, partner search, etc.

🎭 Events ↓
➡️ Reach a new audience and sell in person
We participate in targeted events, with the option for brands in the collective to be present at Meanwhile Boutique's shared stand. We take care of all the organization: from registration to logistics. The goal: sell your products on your behalf without you needing to be present. From September to December, we attend trade shows, markets, or festivals, mainly in Paris, such as at REcyclerie or the Smmmile vegan festival.

How does it work?
- Step 1️⃣: Complete our brand form [ at this link ] to help us better understand the production and manufacturing process of your products. Your answers also help us populate the “Creator Story” presentation page on our site
- Step 2️⃣: Once approved by our team, we sign a collaboration agreement.
- Step 3️⃣: You then get access to our platform (the back-end) to enter your API keys *(for Shopify and WooCommerce sites)* so that your product listings, photos, inventory, prices, and orders are automatically synced with our site! Yes, really!! 😊 (no need to panic, there is a setup guide and we are here if you need help).
And if you don't have an online store, you can always add your products directly, but you will need to manage your inventory regularly.
- Step 4️⃣: The product collection page and the “Creator Story” page are ready and approved, then they go live!
- Step 5️⃣: We take care of the communication (social media, newsletter, media, etc.). We can even do an Instagram Live if you like 📲
How do orders work?
For each order, an email is sent directly with all the delivery information.
The brand must send us the tracking number and the name of the carrier within 5 days (unless a longer timeframe was agreed in advance).
Brands handle the delivery for each order, all in eco-responsible packaging (recyclable, recycled, or reusable).
Payment for sales is made (for now) at the end of each month, after receiving an invoice for the summary of orders with the Meanwhile Boutique commission deducted.
How much does it cost?
Today, we operate with a one-time membership (entry and management fees) for an lifetime unlimited duration as long as the brand respects at least 4 values from our charter.
Depending on the structure and the number of people on the team, this determines the membership price:
Associations and one founder under 25: €90 excl. VAT
Sole traders or companies with fewer than 10 employees: €150 excl. VAT
Companies with more than 10 employees: €240 excl. VAT
For membership, an invoice is sent as soon as the contract is signed.
