Get Your Business in Front of Thousands of Local Shoppers
YardShoppers is the go-to destination for local resale shoppers. Thrift shops, pawn shops, antique stores, consignment shops, estate sale companies — get your own storefront and put your inventory in front of exactly the right audience.
🏪 What Is a Business Storefront?
A Business Storefront is a dedicated, branded page on YardShoppers for your local resale business. It lives at your own custom URL — yardshoppers.com/[your-slug] — and acts as your mini-website within the platform. Shoppers browsing for yard sales and local deals see your storefront right alongside individual listings.
Any local resale or secondhand business: thrift stores, pawn shops, antique & vintage shops, consignment stores, flea markets, estate sale companies, resale/used goods stores, auction houses, secondhand clothing boutiques, furniture resale shops, salvage & surplus dealers, and more.
🗂️ Business Categories
When you register, choose the category that best describes your business. This determines where you appear in filtered searches and browse-by-type results.
✨ What Your Storefront Includes
Every registered business storefront comes with a full set of features right out of the box — no extra setup required.
Upload a full-width banner photo and your business logo to make your storefront immediately recognizable and on-brand.
Your storefront lives at yardshoppers.com/[your-slug] — a clean, shareable URL you choose during signup. Share it on social media, business cards, or anywhere online.
Once verified by our team, your storefront displays a blue Verified checkmark (✓) — the most trusted signal for shoppers.
Boosted storefronts display an amber ⚡ Featured badge, signaling to shoppers that your store is promoted and active.
List your items for sale in a clean 2-to-4 column grid. Each item gets its own name, price, photo, and detail page at /[slug]/item/[item-slug].
Your phone number, website, and address are displayed with one-tap buttons — tap Phone to call, Website to visit your site, and Directions to open Google Maps.
Write a full description of your business — your story, what you sell, your specialty, and anything else shoppers should know.
Shoppers can follow your storefront with one tap. Your follower count is displayed prominently — social proof that builds trust.
Your storefront automatically tracks page views so you can see how many shoppers are visiting you over time.
Mark items as sold out — a clear overlay appears on the item card so shoppers know instantly without having to click through.
Every storefront page includes Schema.org LocalBusiness structured data — so search engines like Google properly index your business and surface it in local search results.

⚡ Boosting Your Storefront & Items

Boosted storefronts float to the top of the Local Businesses tab and the /stores browse page — so your business is seen before un-boosted competitors.
Individual inventory items on your storefront can be boosted. Boosted items display a ⚡ Featured badge and appear at the top of your storefront inventory grid.

Add items to your storefront, write descriptions, set prices, upload photos, and mark items as sold or available.

Boost individual items or your overall storefront directly from the dashboard — no need to navigate away.
🛍️ Shop Local — The Business Directory
Shoppers discover local businesses through the Local Businesses tab on the homepage and the dedicated /storesdirectory page. Here's how they find you:
The /stores page features a Browse by Type grid with all 12 business categories as large clickable tiles with emojis. Shoppers tap a category to see all businesses of that type near them.
The /stores page also shows a 'Recently Added' grid of the 12 newest business storefronts — great for getting early visibility right after signing up.
In the Local Businesses tab, every business card shows how far away the business is from the shopper — making it easy to find nearby stores.
Even businesses that haven't signed up yet may appear as auto-populated 'Directory Listings' — pulled from public data by YardShoppers' data aggregation. These show a 'Directory Listing' badge and link to the business's website. Claiming your listing by signing up replaces it with your full storefront.
In the Local Businesses tab, shoppers can tap category filter pills to instantly narrow the list to just their desired store type.
How to Get Verified
The blue Verified badge (✓) is assigned by the YardShoppers team after we confirm your business is legitimate and active. To request verification, reach out to us through the contact page at /contactafter you've created your storefront. Verified storefronts rank higher in searches and earn significantly more trust from shoppers.
