Who is here

The audience you reach

These are live counts from the platform today. A merchant joins a marketplace that already has inventory, traffic and trust — not an empty shell.

Where you appear

Four surfaces, one membership

Category placement

Your storefront appears in the category, vertical and province pages where shoppers are already browsing.

Alternatives engine

When a shopper searches for a brand you compete with, your Canadian-made alternative surfaces beside it.

MAPLE Scan results

When a shopper scans a barcode, matched Canadian alternatives from your catalogue appear as recommendations.

MAPLE & MAIN Edit

Paid members are eligible for feature stories in our magazine, with shoppable rails linking back to your storefront.

How we compare

A membership, not a cut of every order

Commission marketplaces take 15 to 20 percent of what you sell, and Amazon's referral fee runs 8 to 15 percent before fulfilment. On roughly $250,000 a year that is tens of thousands of dollars. Membership here starts at $990 a year for a solo entrepreneur, $2,990 for Main Street, whatever your sales do.

The one exception, stated plainly: on big-ticket referrals (vehicles, marine, equipment, modular homes) a flat lead fee applies per qualified lead, tiered by deal size and agreed in writing first. It is a lead fee, never a commission on your revenue.
