Catch Copycats.
Prove You Were First.
Your bestseller gets copied. Months later a marketplace sees the copy and assumes you're the reseller. ProvenMaker finds the copies first and keeps the dated evidence showing the original was yours.
Across our sample of hundreds of physical-goods shops, 15% returned at least one external marketplace listing with a near-duplicate of a top product image. A match is a lead to review—not proof of copying.

Three Things Working For Your Shop, Every Day
Built for shops with something worth stealing: a bestseller, original work, and photos worth copying. ProvenMaker covers the three angles that matter for those shops: proactive monitoring, verifiable provenance, and dispute-ready evidence.
We find copycats before you do
Every week we scan the open web for copies of your listings. New matches show up in your dashboard before they cost you a sale, not after.
Your originals get a verifiable record
Workshop photos, materials receipts, process documentation: securely preserved when you upload, with supported files receiving a verifiable timestamp. A dated record of your originals that only you control.
When disputes hit, the proof is ready
A signed proof packet holding everything an IP report asks for: what you made, when you made it, and where the copy is listed. The evidence is gathered before you need it, not scrambled together at 2am after a takedown.
How ProvenMaker Works
Find possible matches, document the work behind your originals, and keep watching. The evidence is gathered before you need it, not scrambled together after a takedown.
Preview leading listings
Enter an Etsy shop with no account, card, or Etsy login. We check a small set of its leading active listings and show exactly how many were covered in this one-time preview.
Connect and document originals
Create a free account and connect Etsy for an initial scan of up to 10 additional leading listings. Add process evidence; automated checks assess it and may route it for human review. Timestamps record when each item reached us, while the evidence itself supports your claim.
Keep watch and prepare your case
Protect adds weekly scans and alerts as coverage rotates through your catalog. With Protect+, a match you confirm can become a copyright report worksheet that you review, sign, and file through the marketplace yourself.

Straight answers before you scan
What the technology checks, what the evidence means, and where its limits are.
What does the free scan actually check?
The no-account scan is a limited preview of a small set of your leading active Etsy listings, not a full-shop audit. The result tells you exactly how many listings were checked. If you create an account and connect Etsy, the initial account scan checks up to 10 additional leading listings that were not already covered by your saved preview.
Which marketplaces can appear in scan results?
We look for product-page matches returned from marketplaces including Temu, AliExpress, Amazon, eBay, Shein, Wish, and DHgate. Search providers do not return every page on the internet, so any scan is a snapshot rather than a guarantee of complete coverage.
Does an image match prove someone copied me?
No. A match means the images are identical or visually very close and gives you a lead to review. It does not, by itself, establish authorship, ownership, authorization, infringement, or which listing came first.
What does a ProvenMaker timestamp prove?
A timestamp records when ProvenMaker received a particular piece of evidence. It helps establish a dated evidence trail, but a timestamp alone does not prove that you created the work. The underlying process evidence is what gives the record meaning.
