Local marketplace
A local marketplace that belongs to your destination
Shops and services open their own store, publish offers with photos and prices and receive enquiries. You set the plans, moderate the content and keep the audience on your brand.
The problem
Local offers live on generic classifieds and social groups
Good local offers get lost among unrelated listings, and the destination earns nothing from the traffic it creates. Quality and trust are hard to control on someone else's platform.
How it works
From setup to going live in three steps
- 1
Businesses open a store
A business creates a store with its details and team members, and chooses one of the plans you define.
- 2
They publish offers
Stores add offers with photos, prices and categories. AI can help write descriptions, and moderation checks content before it goes live.
- 3
Guests discover and get in touch
Visitors browse by category and contact the store. Stores see their enquiries and statistics, and you can promote selected stores and offers.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who decides what is published?+
You do. New stores and offers go through approval, with reasons for rejection, and moderation can add automatic checks.
Can I charge businesses?+
Yes. You define the store plans and prices, and stores subscribe through your own Stripe account. You can also sell featured placement.
Is there a shopping cart?+
No. The marketplace is a showcase: guests contact the store and the sale is agreed between them.
Can stores see who is interested?+
Yes. Every tap on the store's email or phone is logged as an enquiry and the store is notified by email.
Is it the same as the classifieds board?+
No. The marketplace is for businesses with stores. The classifieds board is for ads between private people and is a separate module.
