Bluenose Start your shop

The easiest way for Nova Scotia shops to sell online.

Post like you always do. Link to your Bluenose store. The sale just happens — no more “is this still available?”, no holds, no chasing e‑transfers.

$50/month for your first 3 months, then the flat $100. We never take a cut.

Start your shop

Free to start — build your shop, pay only when you publish.

You already have the customers.

They’re in your Facebook group, at your market table, walking past the window. What you don’t have is a way to turn that into a sale without living in your DMs.

  • “Is this still available?” — twenty times, for one item.
  • Holding things for people who go quiet.
  • E‑transfers that don’t arrive, or arrive wrong.
  • A Linktree that points everywhere except a checkout.

Selling online was built for someone bigger, somewhere else, with staff and time to burn. So most of our shops don’t — and every year more of the province’s money leaves the province.

How it works

  1. Start your shop.

    Pick your name; it’s yours at bluenoseapp.ca/yourshop.

  2. Your products, your words.

    Your photos and the way you’d describe each thing to a customer become your listings. You approve every one.

  3. Share your link.

    Drop it in your bio, your Linktree, your next post. Post like you always do — now the link does the selling. Ship it, or set it out for pickup. Your call.

We don’t send you customers — you already have them. We’re the checkout that was missing.

The kind of thing we’d never have to explain

Never a cut. The flat fee is how we make money. Full stop.
Never ads. No sponsored spots, no pay‑to‑rank. The main street stays honest.
Never your data for sale. Your customers are yours — use them, export them, take them with you.
Independently owned in Nova Scotia. No investors to answer to. Built to still be here in twenty years.

$100 a month covers all of it — first 3 months half off

Your first 3 months are 50% off ($50), then the flat $100. No commissions, no per‑order fee, no percentage — we never take a cut. Card fees go to Stripe at cost, and we show you the receipt. Build your shop free; you only pay when you publish. Cancel anytime, yourself, in two taps. And if you ever leave, your customers and orders leave with you — full export, no hostage‑taking.

Who it’s for

Independent businesses with a Nova Scotia address — and a home counts. The shop on Main Street, the potter at the Saturday market, the woman making candles in her kitchen in Sackville. Physical goods you can put in a bag. If you’re independent and you’re from here, you belong here.
