What every business gets

An army of fans, incentivized to promote

Members earn when they send you customers, so your growth is in their interest — not just yours.

Motivated customers

People are here to buy Black-owned, so you're not fighting the whole internet for attention. Offer cash back and loyalty rewards as the cherry on top.

Ownership verified

Every business is checked, so your badge means something and shoppers trust what they buy.

Nothing upfront, ever

Listing is free. You're never charged just to be here.

No credit card required to list

Not Another Directory

A community with skin in the game.

A listing site drops your name in a database and hopes someone scrolls to it. We do something different: every member here can earn money by sending customers your way. When someone shares your store in the group chat, posts your product to their story, or tells a friend about your shop, they earn — and that's a sales force you don't hire, don't train, and don't put on payroll.

Online + Local

Built for how you actually sell.

Whether customers check out on your website or walk through your door, there's a path made for it.

For Online Stores

Reward your customers. Reach the people they know.

How it works

Connect (coming soon)

Link your Shopify store and we import your products automatically — no manual uploads. Until then, list your store and point customers to it.

Set your commissions

You decide what percentage shoppers earn in cash back and affiliates earn in commissions. Higher rates get shared more — you control the dial.

Add a loyalty program

You can add a loyalty program to your online store. Reward customers for repeat purchases or overall purchase volume. Purchases track automatically.

Get promoted

Members share your store, products, and deals with trackable links. Every qualifying sale is credited — automatically once you connect, or via a claim you approve in the meantime.

Pay only on what we send you

Commission applies to orders the platform drives. Sales you get on your own stay yours.

What you get

Automatic product import & sync — your catalog stays current
Automatic deal import & sync
Verified Black-Owned badge on your store and every product
Trackable attribution — see exactly which orders came from the platform
A merchant dashboard: orders, commissions owed, performance by referrer
Deal & coupon tools — post a promotion and watch members spread it
Customer reviews & star ratings on your store and products — social proof that sells
Photo posts & a community feed — members show off what they bought
Direct customer engagement — reply to reviews and posts, build a following

What it costs: Free to list. You pay commission only on orders the platform sends you — no monthly fee, no listing fee, no charge for the badge or dashboard. If we don't drive a sale, you don't pay.

For Local Businesses

Get discovered. Then get them coming back.

Restaurants, barbers, salons, studios, gyms, corner shops, service providers — if you're Black-owned with a door people walk through, you belong on the map.

How it works

Claim your spot

Add your business, get verified, and appear on the Local map for members browsing your neighborhood.

Launch your digital loyalty card

Set it up in minutes: how many visits earn a reward, and what the reward is. Your call.

Customers scan and collect

A QR code at your counter adds a punch to their card. No plastic cards to print or lose.

They come back for the reward

The card lives on their phone, so they see how close they are — and that brings them in again.

One QR at your register

Print it once. Customers scan with their phone camera to check in and earn — no app to download, no hardware to buy.

What you get

A spot on the Local map, found by neighborhood & category — no ads, no bidding
Verified Black-Owned badge on your listing
A digital punch card you configure, with rewards you set
No hardware required — a printed QR and any phone is enough
Repeat-visit insight so you know your regulars and how often they come
Referral reach — members can share your listing with their people
Customer reviews & star ratings on your listing — social proof for new visitors
Photo posts & a community feed — members share their visits and tag your spot
Direct customer engagement — reply to reviews and posts, stay top of mind

What it costs: Nothing at launch — listings, verification, the loyalty program, and the dashboard are all free. If we ever introduce optional paid features, we'll tell you well before, and you'll never be charged for anything you haven't opted into. Your free listing stays free.

List My Local Business — Free

Both online and local?

Plenty of businesses are. Add both — one verification, one dashboard. Your online store earns cash back for shoppers + loyalty rewards, while your storefront runs a digital loyalty card. Same badge, same profile, two ways for customers to find you.

Getting Verified

The badge means something. That's the point.

Every business on the marketplace is ownership-verified before it earns its badge. It protects shoppers from businesses that claim what they aren't — and it protects you from competing against them.

Set up while you wait

Build your listing, products, and digital loyalty program while verification is in progress. You go live immediately and earn your badge once we've verified you. Most businesses are reviewed within a few business hours.

What we ask for

Proof of business registration

Documentation that your business is real and registered.

Attestation of majority Black ownership

The core of what the badge certifies.

Identity verification and confirmation you're authorized

That you can represent the business you're listing.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing.

Free to join — you only pay when the marketplace brings you a sale or new customer.

Listing, Verified badge, reviews, dashboard & digital loyalty card

Free

Your cash-back / commission rate

You set it

Platform fee — only on sales we drive

A share of the commission you set, not the order. For instance, if you set 10% commission, the platform fee is 30% of that — or 3% of the sale.

A % of your commission

Local businesses list free — the only cost is the optional Acquisition program: pay a reward you set only when we bring you a brand-new customer. The platform fee also applies.

Questions

The answers.

For online stores, Shopify is the smoothest path — products and discounts import and orders track automatically. On another platform? List your business and we'll work with you on the best available option.

You do. You know your margins. Higher rates tend to get shared more by members, so there's an upside to being generous — but it's entirely your call.

Only after a sale the platform sent you. It's calculated per order and billed on a regular cycle — never upfront, never on sales you generated yourself.

Only through the terms you set. Your cash back rate determines what shoppers and referrers earn, and you can change it whenever you want.

No. Cash back comes out of the commission on a sale, not off your listed price. Your pricing stays yours.

Remove your listing whenever you like. No contract, no notice period, no exit fee. You're only responsible for the sales you've already generated.

Absolutely! Barbers, stylists, contractors, consultants, photographers, trainers — services are a category here, and digital loyalty cards work as well for a haircut as for a coffee.
