Each producer has their own shop, with their name, their story and their shipping terms. Whoever makes the pieces sells and invoices them.

Answers to the questions producers ask us before they apply. If yours is missing, ask us.
Will the terms change once Lavora grows?
No. No monthly fee and no cost per piece listed, and that does not change once there are more of us. There is no paid plan waiting for you further down the line.
Can I keep selling at fairs and on my own channels?
Yes. No lock-in and no exclusivity. You carry on at the fairs and on your own channels while you are here, and if one day this stops making sense, you leave with no penalty.
Who reads my application?
A person. Every application is read by hand and answered, accepted or turned down. We get in touch first by email, social media or WhatsApp, and by phone or in person when it is worth going further.
What do I need?
- A valid tax setup. We accept several, and anyone producing occasionally reports the income to the Portuguese tax office without registering a business.
- A Portuguese bank account (IBAN PT).
- Decent photos of the product and the workshop.
- A reply to orders within 24h on weekdays.
Do I need to register a business?
Not necessarily. Anyone producing occasionally reports the income to the Portuguese tax office without registering a business. If you want to register, we help.
Can I sell outside Portugal?
Yes. Listings are translated into English and Spanish. Sales to other EU countries above €10,000 a year require registration under the OSS scheme. Since you are the seller and you invoice, the threshold is yours. Below that, nothing changes.
Can I run workshops too?
Yes, in your studio or by video call, for individuals or for a company team. You set the price per seat, just as with the pieces, and listing them costs nothing.
Ready to show what you make?
The application takes about 5 minutes. We always reply, whether you're accepted or not.
