Create Freely, Earn Fairly
Join the Waitlist for Mercantile – Built for Creators Like You
Are you an open-source developer who builds software that powers countless projects? Your work drives innovation but ends up becoming a labor of love that doesn’t cover the bills. As many other creators, you rely on inconsistent donations or side gigs to keep going. Sound familiar?
What if you could launch your own software storefront, skip the legal headaches, and connect directly with businesses eager to use your solutions, all while earning what your work is truly worth? That’s where Mercantile comes in.
Why you’ll love it
- Launch Fast, Hassle-Free: We handle legal frameworks, liability, compliance, taxes, billing and payments so you can focus on coding and growing your project.
- Get Paid What You Deserve: Turn your work into steady income, way better than relying on GitHub stars or sporadic donations.
- Reach the Right Buyers: Reach enterprises seeking trusted open-source solutions, without needing marketing expertise.
The struggle is real, we get it
Did you know 91% of codebases rely on open-source projects that haven’t seen updates in years? That’s because developers like you are stretched thin, often working solo or in small, informal teams. You’re not a corporation, and you shouldn’t have to act like one to succeed. Mercantile bridges that gap, giving you the tools to go pro without losing your soul.
Be part of something big
We’re building a curated platform for top open-source projects to shine and enterprises to find the best of the best. This isn’t open to just anyone, we’re selectively inviting the most impactful projects to join. If selected, you’ll monetize your work alongside other top-tier creators through our standardized approach.
