FAQ About Plans & Pricing for Retailers

Shop Local helps businesses in the retail industry sell and buy products. We accomplish this by providing a cloud-based e-commerce platform to leading brands, local retailers, and sales reps. They use our platform to run online stores, offer online gift registries, share products, and perform wholesale operations.
No. Setup is free.
Most of our best features are included with the free plan. If you wish to have more than 2 registries, we have our Beginner Plan for $14 dollars a month which adds 4 more. Our Intermediate Plan includes 32 registries and universal domain service. Both upgraded plans include everything from the free plan.
Billing cycles happen monthly and you can cancel at anytime. There is no contract length. For paid accounts, please cancel your account 7 business days before the billing cycle date (which is the 20th of the month preceding service). This gives us enough notice to not bill you and remove your business from our automated billing software.
No. No credit card is needed. When you join Shop Local as a retail member, you'll receive the free services listed above by default. As such, no credit card is required.
Shop Local provides you with an ongoing free account to use. Unlike other services that offer a trial period, you can keep using your free Shop Local membership and its services and not be constrained by a timed trial.
Brands help underwrite (pay for) the Smart Products service. This helps fund the wide set of services provided by Shop Local to retailers.
Yes. Shop Local can store as many registries as your business likes. Please contact Bridge for information on other plans: retailers@bridge.org or 1-212-254-9655
A Syncing Brand is a brand whose product catalog is instantly output and synced with your Shop Local account.
» Learn more about Brand Syncing.
A Synced Product is a product managed by a Product Syncing Brand.
Shop Local counts a registry as a registry list with one or more products in it. For example, if a couple registers with your store, does not place any products in their registry list, and only displays a gift card (a gift card is included by default with each registry), this registry does not count towards your plan. The benefit of this approach is that stores can encourage more registrants to register and register early. The store is not paying for the registrant until they start to actively add products to their list. Meanwhile, a friend or family member can still make purchases from the registry using the registry's gift card feature.
A store can keep the registry online as long as it likes.
Shop Local uses a subscription model. For paid plans, Shop Local charges a monthly, recurring subscription fee akin to Shopify or Spotify.
Yes, a business must have a federal tax ID (TIN) and a dedicated, physical storefront that consumers can access (e.g. not a P.O. box or postal/mail center).
The safety of our members and shoppers is paramount. Working with authenticated retailers helps ensure we offer a secure and satisfying experience to our members and shoppers. Currently, many other e-commerce platforms do not authenticate sellers, and this produces an environment in which shoppers aren't receiving the service they deserve.

Shop LOcal services professional, trusted sellers with a track record of serving customers.
Yes, you can change your account plan at any time.
You can cancel your free account anytime. For paid accounts, please cancel your account 7 business days before the billing cycle date (which is the 20th of the month preceding service). This gives us enough notice to not bill you and remove your business from our automated billing software.
Yes, a business must be an authorized dealer to sync from the respective Product Syncing Brand. The brand approves a sync request from the business sending the sync request.

FAQ About Plans & Pricing for Brands

Is there a setup fee?

There is no setup fee for brand accounts not using the Brand Syncing service. You can load your items to Shop Local for free. If you choose to sync products, Shop Local will help you through the Brand Syncing boarding process and there is a one-time $329 setup fee.

Can I cancel my account at any time?

You can cancel your free account anytime. For paid accounts, please cancel your account 7 business days before the billing cycle date (which is the 20th of the month preceding service). This gives Shop Local enough notice to not bill you and remove your business from our automated billing software. If you are participating in the Brand Syncing service, please give Bridge and your synced retailers 90-days notice.

Does a brand have to use all of the services listed above or can it pick services piecemeal?

You can pick services piecemeal. For example, you may choose the Brand Syncing services but not use the online gift registry service. Once you sign up, you can choose which services to activate or deactivate.
