The Hive NZ Reviews 

I bought a book from vendor Ninety 9 Problems, via The Hive. Payment and communications were clear and trouble free. The product arrived within two days and was beautifully packaged. Highly recommended.

My friend KJDesigns got me to join The Hive almost from the start. Since joining all that time ago, I get help when I need it, great support and most importantly SALES.
Sales don't come automatically until you do the work, but The Hive helps you get started and teaches you what you need to do. Take the advice, follow and keep it up , then you will reach more customers and those sales will come in.

I chose The Hive NZ as my storefront platform because the pricing was so competitive and the benefits topped anything being offered elsewhere.

I’d have been happy with only that … but wait, there’s more… I’ve been coached in getting the best out of the back end - tweaking SEO and slugs and tags* to make sure my products show up across the internet.

There’s active cross pollination between stores on The Hive NZ, and a really supportive community cheering one another on.

14/10, highly recommended!

*don’t feel bad if you don’t know what they are. I didn’t either. (I kind of still don’t.) I DO know how to make them work in my favour now, though!

Such an amazing marketplace boasting a huge number of unique and top quality products! The Hive is my go-to for gifts and general purchases. The marketplace owner is visible and responds personally when contacted which is unique in itself and super valued! If you love supporting kiwi businesses or mum and dad businesses and are looking for something unique, The Hive is definitely the place to go!

There are so many guidelines to help a newbie. Well laid out. But sometimes the page can take a while to load things.

I've been a vendor, selling on The Hive since the start, well over a decade! I have a product based business with my own website, but joined The Hive to help reach new audiences. The Hive's SEO has definately helped me grow my business over the years. I love the focus on supporting small kiwi businesses. I definately recommend for small businesses without a website looking to streamline their sales processes, or for those wanting an additional way of reaching new customers to run alongside their own website.

I've been a vendor on The Hive NZ for years now and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made for my business. The support you receive is incredible – whether it’s advice, encouragement, or just having someone there to answer your random business questions, the team and community are always there for you.
It’s especially amazing if you’re just starting out – you gain so much valuable knowledge, and you’re surrounded by people who genuinely want to see you succeed. Being part of The Hive isn’t just about having a place to sell your products – it’s about growing your business with the help of a passionate and supportive network. Highly, highly recommend!
