What You Can Customize
Your Shop Scene
Your kiosk features a custom scene that showcases your products on a cozy marketplace stall. We update it each week to feature your latest items.
How it works:
Once you have at least one active listing, we create a personalized shop scene
The scene updates weekly to feature your current products
New sellers see a "Kiosk coming soon" message until their first scene is ready
You don't need to do anything - we handle the magic behind the scenes. Just keep your listings active and we'll take care of the rest.
Why can't I see my kiosk scene yet?
Your shop scene generates automatically when you meet these requirements:
You have at least one active listing (available for purchase)
You've logged in recently
Scenes are generated weekly on Sundays, so if you just created your first listing, check back early next week.
Awning Color
Pick a color to personalize your shop:
Grey (default)
Teal
Purple
Yellow
Green
Black
This color appears on your listing cards, your kiosk awning, and accents throughout your shop page.
Business Name
If you run a business, show your business name instead of your personal name:
Displays on your shop header
Shows on listing cards
Appears in buyer communications
Leave blank to show your first name instead.
Welcome Message
Write a greeting for visitors (up to 500 characters):
Introduce yourself
Describe what you sell
Share what makes your shop special
Add personality
Example: > "Welcome! I specialize in vintage electronics and restored audio equipment. Every item is tested and comes with a 30-day guarantee. Happy browsing!"
Social Links
Connect your online presence:
Website - Full URL to your site (e.g., https://yoursite.com)
Instagram - Just your handle, without the @ (e.g., yourhandle)
These appear as clickable links on your shop page.

Tips for a Great Shop
Keep your listings active - Your kiosk scene showcases your products automatically. The more active listings you have, the more impressive your kiosk looks.
Be specific in your message - Tell visitors what they'll find. "I sell vintage cameras from the 1960s-80s" is better than "I sell stuff."
Pick a color that fits your brand - Your awning color sets the tone. Choose something that matches your style or products.
Add both social links - Buyers appreciate seeing you have an established presence elsewhere.
Preview your shop - Click "View Kiosk" to see what buyers see.
What Buyers See
When someone visits your shop, they see:
Your kiosk scene (or a "Kiosk coming soon" message for new sellers)
Your name, rating, and location displayed as overlay pills on the scene
Your welcome message
Links to your website and Instagram
All your active marketplace listings
Your recent reviews
Privacy Note
Your shop page is public. Anyone can visit it, even without a ShopBroker account. Only show information you're comfortable sharing publicly.
If you prefer privacy, you can hide from the marketplace entirely in your profile settings. See "Controlling Listing Visibility" for more details.
