We know big-ticket items are crucial for your revenue. For items with a price tag greater than $1,000, our commission drops to 6% after the first $1,000.
Here’s how it works.
Easy to join and set-up is quick. Each transaction starts on the app, and ends in the shop. Plus, our business model puts neighborhood shops first.
1
Connect your POS system.
In as little as 3 minutes we’ll have your inventory on the app. We’ll make your page and walk you through test orders.
2
Order placed!
Shoppers search for products by proximity or shop and place orders through the app.
3
Prepare the order for pickup.
Once the order is ready, the app will notify the shopper to head to your shop.
People want to shop with you.
But often, it’s difficult for them to search your inventory. We unite neighborhood shops on a single platform, so you gain visibility and grow your customer base. Consumers get to buy on the app and pick up in-store, a format that continues to grow in popularity.

Your shop on our app.
A digital storefront for your shop.
On Shop the Blok, there’s a page dedicated to every shop, where we tell your story, display your products, and provide your shop’s information.
We connect directly your POS system to provide a live feed of inventory data for customers and a seamless experience for you. Our Shopkeeper App guides you through each order from start to finish.
We’re live in and around Kingston, NY right now, and we’ll be adding new locations over the next few months.
