For small businesses & sole traders
Your own shop online —
without the big-platform tax.
LocalFor.Me is a small, vetted marketplace for local makers, shops and sole traders across the UK and Isle of Man. List for free, keep your brand, and only pay when you sell.
No monthly fee to start · 2.5% commission on sales · cancel any time
Keep more of every sale
A flat 2.5% commission on top of Stripe's card fee — no listing fees, no monthly minimum to get going. You always see exactly what you'll receive.
Vetted = trusted
Every business is checked by a real person before it goes live. Shoppers see a green Verified tick — and a "Recommended by N" count, not a gamed star rating.
Found by locals
Shoppers discover you by area and by product — searching their own town first. Your shop, your story, your photos. We don't bury you under a million listings.
Everything you need to start selling
Set up in an afternoon. No web developer, no monthly software bill.
A proper storefront
Your products, photos, sections and an About page — on a clean shop page that's yours.
Secure payments & payouts
Card checkout powered by Stripe, paid straight into your bank. We never touch your money.
Talk to your customers
Built-in messaging for questions, quotes and order updates — no giving out your personal number.
Orders, refunds & invoices
A simple dashboard to fulfil orders, issue refunds in pounds, and hand customers a tidy invoice.
Grow with optional add-ons
Turn on only what you need — most are a couple of pounds a month, and we can switch them on for you.
Kiosk — scan to order
For cafés, bars and food spots: print a QR, customers order from their phone, and tickets land on a live kitchen display. Counter or table service.
Made-to-order products
Let buyers personalise — size, options, engraving, upload a photo — with the price updating as they choose. Shows a clear "From £NN".
Discount vouchers
Run your own codes — £ or %, auto-generated or custom, with usage caps and expiry. Reward regulars and pull in new ones.
More image storage
Generous free space for product photos, with a cheap upgrade if you sell a big or very visual range.
Bookings & appointments
Take time-based bookings for services and stays — appointments, classes, rooms — with approval and payment built in.
Your own domain
Point your own web address at your shop and show it un-branded — yourshop.com, your storefront, none of our logos.
Made by locals, for locals
We're honest about what this is: a small, independent local project — not a faceless tech giant. It's built specifically for small local businesses and sole traders who want a real shop online without handing a fortune, and their customers, to the big platforms. You get a person to talk to and a roadmap you can actually nudge.
Support local, it's worth it.
