Consignment Shops in Iowa for Makers & Artists

These 5 shops say they take work on consignment: you supply the stock and get paid when it sells. All are in Iowa; see all 424 nationwide or the Des Moines page.

Quick tips

On consignment you lend the shop your stock and get paid only when it sells, minus the shop's cut. Splits vary a lot, and some shops also charge a monthly or up-front fee, which can matter more than the split.

Shop	City	Split	Terms & fees as the shop states them
JnM Marketplace	Des Moines	Not stated	Long-term consignment, 6-month minimum. Display rent is $15 per sq ft per month ($60 minimum), plus a $30 fee when the contract is signed (per their page, checked 2026-11-03). Fees: $30 contract fee; display rent $15/sq ft/month, $60 minimum.
Maker's Market (Dubuque)	Dubuque	Not stated	Consignment; no upfront/recurring costs or long-term commitments. Commission split not published. Vendors must have fewer than 10 employees and be located in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Minnesota or Missouri. Fees: No upfront or recurring costs.

Compare what you'd earn on consignment vs. wholesale with the wholesale price calculator. Its presets include the published splits and fees.
A monthly fee is owed whether or not anything sells. Divide it by the units you realistically expect to sell each month before you compare splits.
Get the agreement in writing: split, fees, payout schedule, how long stock stays, and who covers loss or damage.
