Easy to launch without coding experience, and capable for advanced use-cases. You have several options to build your site, ranging in technical complexity and level of customizability.
Your Fontdue subscription comes with a basic template you can use to start selling fonts immediately. If you’re just testing things out this is a good place to start.
query Catalog { viewer { fontCollections(first: 1) { edges { node { name fontStyles { name sku { price { amount currency } } } } } } } }
{ "data": { "viewer": { "fontCollections": { "edges": [ { "node": { "name": "Tonka Mono", "fontStyles": [ { "name": "Regular", "sku": { "price": { "amount": "90.00", "currency": "USD" } } } ] } } ] } } } }
With Fontdue your website can be fully customized. We helped launch 100+ foundries. See some examples and get insights into how they were built.

Every foundry pays the same: a monthly fee plus a percentage of each sale. This model keeps Fontdue independent and sustainable, and funds new features and daily email support.

Fontdue was created by Tom Conroy, now with help from a small team of freelancers.
