The Bridge Behind the Platform

Back in 2007, we managed websites for indie retailers and brands.

One weekend at Moran’s Pub in NYC, we realized: indie stores need an easier way to succeed online.

So we sketched a solution on a napkin: brands would share product data and retailers would display it automatically. We built a prototype. Within months, two stores and eight brands were using our digital 'bridge' service.

Today, 1,422 retailers use Shop Local to easily sell 198,000+ products from 3,600+ brands. We power 40,000+ gift registries and help our clients sell millions.

Our mission started on that napkin—and it’s still our focus: make running an online store easier for indie merchants.

We named our platform Shop Local because we believe in supporting indie businesses and our communities.

We’d love for you to join us.

Shop local,
Jason & the Shop Local Team
