Your Share Link is Your Storefront

Every ShopBroker listing gets a unique link. Share it anywhere to find buyers instantly.

Getting Your Link

After creating a listing, find your share link by:

Opening the listing from your dashboard

Tapping the share icon or "Copy Link"

The link copies to your clipboard

It looks like: shopbroker.ca/buy/abc123xyz

Where to Share

Direct Messages

Send to interested buyers on:

  • Text/iMessage

  • Facebook Messenger

  • Instagram DMs

  • WhatsApp

  • Email

When someone asks about your item on another platform, send them your ShopBroker link for secure payment.

Existing Marketplace Listings

Already listed on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace? Add your ShopBroker link:

  • In the description

  • In messages with interested buyers

  • When negotiating price

Tell buyers: "Ready to buy? Here's my secure payment link: [your link]"

Social Media

Post to your networks:

  • Facebook personal or groups

  • Instagram stories/posts

  • Twitter/X

  • Local community pages

Community Boards

Share in:

  • Neighborhood Facebook groups

  • Reddit local subs

  • Community forums

  • Buy/sell groups

What Buyers See

When someone clicks your link, they see:

  • Your item photos

  • Title and description

  • Price

  • Fulfillment options (delivery/pickup)

  • "Buy Now" button

They can purchase immediately without creating an account.

Sharing Tips

Be Available

When you share your link, be ready to answer questions. Quick responses lead to sales.

Personalize Your Message

Instead of just the link, add context:

> "Here's my listing for the PS5 - you can see all the photos and buy securely through ShopBroker: [link]"

Cross-Post Strategically

List on multiple platforms but direct all serious buyers to your ShopBroker link for the actual transaction.

Track Your Shares

Remember where you've shared. If buyers have questions, you'll know where they came from.

Why Use the Link?

Sending buyers to ShopBroker means:

  • Secure payment - No cash, no awkward money exchange

  • Protection - Payment held until delivery/pickup complete

  • Convenience - Buyer pays in seconds online

  • Professionalism - Clean, trustworthy checkout experience

When Buyers Don't Know ShopBroker

Some buyers might not be familiar with the platform. Explain:

> "ShopBroker protects your payment - it's securely held until you receive the item. It's safer for both of us!"

QR Codes

Want to share offline? Generate a QR code from your link using free tools like:

  • qr-code-generator.com

  • Your phone's built-in QR creator

Print it for garage sales or in-person posting.

Multiple Items?

Selling several things? Create separate listings for each and share the relevant link to each buyer.
