Your Public Shop
Heads up: we recently renamed "your kiosk" to "your shop" across the platform. Same feature, clearer name.
Every seller has a public shop page where buyers can browse your listings and learn about you. Make it uniquely yours with personalization options.

What You Can Customize
Your Shop Scene
Your shop 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 "Shop 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.
When your shop scene appears
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.
Card Style
Pick a card color to personalize your shop:
Grey (default)
Teal
Purple
Yellow
Green
Black
This color appears on your listing cards and accents throughout your shop page.
Shop Logo
Upload a shop logo if you want buyers to recognize your storefront faster:
Accepted formats: PNG or WebP
Transparent backgrounds work best
Square-ish logos display cleanly across storefront and event surfaces
If you skip this, ShopBroker shows a storefront icon placeholder instead
We use your saved logo on your public storefront, event stall cards, and related marketing surfaces. If you upload a different logo while applying for a ShopBroker Market event, that event-specific logo can override your saved storefront logo for that event.
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.
How to Customize
Go to My Shop > Settings > Storefront
Make your changes:
- Choose your card style - Upload or replace your shop logo - Add your business name - Write your welcome message - Add social links
Click Save after each section
Your changes show up immediately on your public shop page. Your shop scene updates automatically each week.

Tips for a Great Shop
Keep your listings active - Your shop scene showcases your products automatically. The more active listings you have, the more impressive your shop 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 card style sets the tone. Choose something that matches your style or products.
Use a simple logo - Clean shapes and transparent backgrounds look best on event stall cards and your storefront.
Add both social links - Buyers appreciate seeing you have an established presence elsewhere.
Preview your shop - Click "View shop" to see what buyers see.
What Buyers See
When someone visits your shop, they see:
Your shop scene (or a "Shop coming soon" message for new sellers)
Your name, rating, and location displayed as overlay pills on the scene
Your shop logo, if you've uploaded one
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.
