How It Works

You rent the space and bring the goods. We do the rest — the staff, the hours, the lights, the marketing and the checkout counter. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.

Apply for a booth

Fill out the vendor application and tell us what you collect and roughly how much of it you have. We review every application by hand and get back to you with what is open, usually within a couple of business days.

Pick your space and sign

Booths come in a few different sizes, from a locking glass display case to a full corner build-out. Agreements are month to month — no year-long lock-in. Rent is a flat monthly amount you know in advance.

Load in and set up your booth

Bring your inventory in and merchandise the space however you like. Shelves, pegboard, risers, signage, lighting — it is your storefront. Restock whenever you want during store hours.

List your items in the vendor portal

Log into your online portal and add your inventory. Upload a spreadsheet if you have hundreds of items, or type them in one at a time if you do not. Each item gets a description and your asking price.

Print your labels and tag your stock

The portal generates a barcode label for every item you list. Print them, stick them on, put the item on the shelf. That is genuinely the last chore on your list.

We run the store

Staffing, the register, utilities, insurance on the building, cleaning, security cameras, social media, advertising, events and every customer question at the counter — all handled by us, every day we are open.

We handle the sales tax

Tax is collected at our register on every transaction, and we file and remit it to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. You do not file returns for anything sold in the store, and you do not track rates or district taxes. It is off your plate entirely.

Watch sales post in real time

The second an item scans at our register, it drops off your inventory and lands in your sales log. Check it from your phone in line at the grocery store if you want. No waiting for a monthly statement.

Get paid by ACH every week

We deduct a flat 10% commission from your sales total. The remaining 90% is sent by ACH direct deposit to the bank account on file for your booth, every week. Booth rent and payouts are tracked separately, so the math is always clear.

One less headache

We handle every bit of the sales tax

This is the part that scares most first-time sellers, and it is the part you will never touch.

Sales tax is calculated and collected at our register on every single transaction. We file the returns and remit the money to the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration on schedule. You do not look up district rates, you do not track taxable versus exempt, and you do not file a return for anything that sells inside this store.

Your own income taxes and anything you sell outside our store are still your business — talk to your accountant about those.

What that means for you

  • No CDTFA returns to file for store sales
  • No district tax rates to look up
  • No collecting tax at your booth
  • No quarterly deadlines to remember
  • Clean records in your sales log either way
