A community driven eCommerce marketplace

Shop local. Actually local.

America’s towns are full of small restaurants, retail merchants, and other local business treasures - but all too often, they go unnoticed. At LiveShopBuy, we’re doing all we can to expose these local businesses to consumers and allow them to compete with corporate giants.

Consumers are immediately greeted with a host of top local merchants upon logging into LiveShopBuy, no matter where they are - and are guaranteed to never find a large national chain.

Why it existed

The national chains are not on this site

The marketplace was built for the shops, restaurants and trades on your own street — and it says so in its own description.

For merchants

A store, a directory listing, and the tools around it

Our location based marketplace offers all the services a merchant needs to become a digital marketing “RockStar”, and even sets them up with a digital store to take advantage of the surging popularity of mobile search and ecommerce.

The seller offer

Three things the platform did

Built for small merchants, not for a catalogue

A digital store, set up for you

A storefront on the marketplace, with a cart, checkout and gift cards, without building a website first.

Marketing tools that actually run

The company’s pitch is a merchant who becomes a digital marketing “RockStar”: listings, email, deals and a directory presence.

Rewards and referrals built in

Reward points, a customer referral program and a seller referral program, so the merchants bring each other in.
