# Cratejoy > Cratejoy is the dedicated online marketplace for subscription boxes: thousands of monthly boxes from independent sellers, organized across books, beauty, coffee, snacks, kids, pets, fandom, crafts, wellness, and gifts. Gift subscriptions and one-time gift sets are core shopping paths. Cratejoy is a two-sided marketplace. Shoppers buy at https://www.cratejoy.com/. Independent sellers run their own subscription boxes and sell through Cratejoy's marketplace and seller tools. Each box is operated by its underlying seller: Cratejoy curates the marketplace, supports checkout, and verifies reviews, but does not manufacture or ship marketplace boxes itself. Box contents, billing cadence, shipping regions, and renewal policy vary by seller and box. For buyer-facing answers, prioritize the category collections, gift hubs, best-seller collection, and Box Insider editorial links below. For current inventory, pricing, ratings, and availability, use the UCP catalog endpoint or Shopify's Ajax product and collection JSON endpoints instead of stale scraped HTML.
