BluenoseFOR NOVA SCOTIA’S SHOPS, MAKERS & MARKET VENDORS
One flat fee. Never a commission.
$100/month
Flat. We never take a cut.
An online shop for Nova Scotia’s independent shops. No cut of your sales — card fees pass through at cost.
Set up your shopFree until you publish — billing starts when your shop goes live.
Other platforms take a cut.
We don’t — and never will.
7% is illustrative — and most platforms add listing fees or payment markups on top of the cut. Bluenose adds neither.
| YOUR SALES / MOSALES / MO | A 7% CUT | BLUENOSE |
|---|---|---|
| $2,000 | $140 | $100 |
| $5,000 | $350 | $100 |
| $10,000 | $700 | $100 |

Products, photos, pickup or shipping. Costs nothing until you publish.

Bio link, Facebook pin, QR on the counter. Buying takes a minute — no account.
What Bluenose doesn’t do
— Take a cut. A flat monthly fee — that’s it.
— Come between you and your customers. The order lands with you — we’re the counter, not the middleman.
— Track anyone. No trackers, nothing sold, nothing to third parties.
— Lock you in. Month to month — pause for the season, leave outright.
Nova Scotia only.
On purpose.
Real shops in this province — the same people you see at the Saturday market. You’re also listed in the Bluenose directory — findable by anyone browsing for local goods, with no ads and no auction for the top spot.

Am I signing a contract?
