When you have found something you would like to buy, you add it to your cart by selecting the number of items and clicking on the “add to cart” button. You can check the contents of your cart by looking at the left side of the page.

Until the purchase is finalised, the items will be available to other customers. When you are committed to the purchase, you must confirm your order by clicking on the “Confirm order” button.

From there you will be taken to the page where you fill in necessary details and choose a method of delivery. Please fill in all the required fields. If the buyer is a business, please provide the appropriate business details on the form.

Special Orders!

If you find something you would like to buy, but the item has next to it “By Order”, that means you need to negotiate directly with the artisan, whose contact details you will find with the item of interest. Purchase of the goods can be made via bank transfer to the Võru Institute in SEB bank. The order is confirmed when the transfer has been received.
