Discover Great Deals Locally
The ShopBroker Marketplace lets you browse listings from sellers across the GTA. Find what you're looking for in your region, or explore what's available in your entire market.
Getting Started: The Welcome Modal
When you first visit the Marketplace, you'll see a welcome prompt asking to confirm your location. This helps us show you the most relevant listings right away.
The modal will:
Detect your region based on your saved address, browser location, or let you choose manually
Set your default market and region so you see local listings first
Remember your choice for future visits
You can always change your location later - this just gets you started.
Finding the Marketplace
Website: Click Marketplace in the main navigation
Direct link: Go to
shopbroker.ca/marketplace
Your Location Indicator
Look for your current location displayed in the navigation. It shows your region and market (for example, "Toronto · GTA" or "York South · GTA").
Tap it anytime to:
See your current region and market
Switch to a different region within your market
Change to a different market entirely
Filtering by Market and Region
We organize listings by markets (major metropolitan areas) and regions (municipal regions within those markets, with 9 in the GTA, aligned with our courier's delivery zones).
How Location Filtering Works
When you set your location:
Your region comes first - Listings from sellers in your region appear at the top
Your market follows - Other listings from your broader market are shown next
Everything's accessible - You can still browse and buy from any region
Changing Your Market
Tap your location in the navigation
Choose a different market from the list
Select a region within that market
Your marketplace view updates automatically
Each market shows how many listings are available.
"Delivery to Me" Toggle
Turn this on to see only listings where courier delivery is available to you:
On: Shows items from sellers in your market (same-day delivery possible)
Off: Shows all listings regardless of delivery availability
Even with this off, you can always arrange your own pickup for items in other regions.
