“We built CartaTap because we were tired of seeing local shops lose sales to phone tag, walk-aways, and marketplace fees. Sell without marketplace fees. Local pickup. Direct checkout.”
— The CartaTap team
The real cost
What marketplace fees actually cost
Marketplaces like Amazon, Etsy, and Instacart charge 15–30% per sale. Plus processing fees. Plus promo costs. It adds up fast.
If you do $4,000/month in sales:
That's up to $14,400 per year.
Direct vs. marketplace:
| Marketplaces | CartaTap | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 15–30% | 0% |
| Payment fees | ~3% | ~2.9% (Stripe) |
| Customer data | Not yours | Yours |
| Branding | Their layout | Your brand |

The details
Done for you. Not handed to you.
Your own site, built around your shop
Not a Shopify template, not a marketplace listing. A real site with your shop's name, your products, your categories — on your own domain.
We build your catalog — you don't lift a finger
Send us a photo of your inventory or a spreadsheet. We enter every product, price, and description. We handle the photos too.
Customers reserve and pay ahead
They pick what they want, pay online, and pick up when they come in. No phone tag, no held items that get forgotten.
Update your catalog anytime
Sold out of something? Got a new shipment? Update it yourself from your backend — mark items in stock, sold out, or add new products on the spot.
Pickup windows on your schedule
Set when pickup is available. Customers pick a window that works for them, and you know exactly who's coming when.
Zero commission, ever
No cut of sales, no marketplace fees. Flat monthly, that's it. Every dollar your customers spend goes to you.
The process
Live in under two weeks.
15-min call
We learn your shop, your inventory, and how you want pickup to work. No pitch, no pressure.
We build it
We enter your products, set up your site, and configure pickup windows. You don't touch a thing.
We go live together
We walk you through the owner view, make sure everything looks right, and flip the switch.
You keep every dollar
Orders come in, customers pick up, you get paid directly. No middleman, no commission.
You own your customers.
- ✓Direct relationship — no middleman
- ✓Customer data stays with you
- ✓No competing listings next to your products
