🏪 For Shops

Your prices are already being compared. Put up the real ones.

Households compare their shopping list across shops in your town. When your prices are not listed, the app says only that nobody has told us what you charge — not that you do not sell it. The shop portal lets you say.

  • ✓
    Put a price list up in one go — CSV, Excel or a PDF from your till system, or connect it directly with an API key
  • ✓
    Say what the price depends on — loyalty card, minimum quantity, cash only, while stocks last, and the dates it runs
  • ✓
    See what the town is asking for — counted in households, never named, and never a count small enough to point at a person
  • ✓
    Free for twelve months — and the portal says in full which parts stay free afterwards and which are only free for now

We ring the number you register with and ask for you by name, so households know a shop-posted price came from the shop.
