Your town,
not a feed.

The problem
Great local things are hard to find.
Local sellers are everywhere. The people are there; the discovery layer usually isn’t.
Before TownFare
×You have to already know where to look.
×Fresh updates disappear into posts and stories.
×Great small sellers get buried in giant platforms.
×Barter usually lives off to the side, if at all.

A fairer way to grow
Your sales belong to you.
TownFare is a discovery platform, not a toll booth. We make money from optional seller subscriptions — not by taking a cut every time a local business makes a sale.
The simple version
Pay TownFare for the tools you choose — not for every sale you make.
$0
Per-listing fees
We don’t charge you each time you list what you make, sell, serve, or offer.
0%
Transaction fees
When someone spends with you, TownFare doesn’t take a percentage of the sale.
⇄
No barter commission
A trade between two people is their trade. TownFare simply helps them find each other.
Optional subscription
Free includes one business storefront with up to 4 gallery photos. TownFare Plus adds room for up to 5 storefronts, larger galleries, and additional seller tools.
You run your business. We just help you get discovered.
What sets TownFare apart
Built around a town, not just a transaction.
TownFare is built around real towns, real schedules, and the independent sellers people already rely on.
▢
Not a delivery app
TownFare helps people find each other. Sellers still control how they book, get paid, deliver, meet up, or coordinate pickup.
◎
Not a giant global catalog
TownFare starts with real communities. A town has its own people, events, markets, schedules, and rhythms — and the platform should reflect that.
♡
Not just buying
Barter belongs here too. Some people want to swap goods, skills, or services — and TownFare gives them a place to do that in the open.
Our point of view
Your town is full of good stuff.
It just shouldn’t be this hard to find.
TownFare helps you discover the people making, selling, serving, and creating nearby.
The TownFare idea
Find local. Discover independent businesses and events.
Connect directly. Sellers keep their own way of doing business.
Explore with confidence. Save, share, and report concerns.
