How CoShop Works

Whether you’re shopping for fresh local groceries or selling your own products, CoShop keeps it simple.

For Shoppers

Fresh local groceries, picked up from the source

No delivery fees. No middlemen. Just you and your local vendors.

Browse and discover

Search products from Halifax-area grocery stores and farmers. Filter by category, sort by price, or explore vendor stores directly.

Add to your cart

Add items from multiple vendors in one cart. You can browse and add items without creating an account — sign in only when you're ready to order.

Pick up from the vendor

Place your order and wait for the vendor to confirm it's ready. Then pick it up directly — fresh, local, and no delivery wait.

Save more with Group Buy

Some vendors offer group-buy pricing — a lower price available during a limited time window. When you order during an active group-buy period, you automatically pay the group price. No coupons, no codes needed.

For Vendors

Reach more customers with zero monthly fees

List your products, manage your orders, and grow your local business — all from your vendor dashboard.

Create your store

Sign up as a vendor in minutes. Add your business name, location, logo, and a description of what you sell. Your public store page is ready immediately.

List your products

Add your products with photos, descriptions, and pricing. Set tax settings per product. Optionally enable group-buy pricing to attract bulk orders.

Manage your orders

When customers place orders, you see them in your dashboard. Confirm orders, mark them as ready for pickup, and communicate with customers — all in one place.

Publish recipes

Share recipes using your own products. Recipes appear publicly on CoShop and link directly to the ingredients you sell — a natural way to drive orders.

Your public store

Every vendor gets a dedicated store page at coshop.ca/stores/your-store. Share it on social media, your packaging, or anywhere you market your business.

Common Questions

Is there delivery?

Not yet. CoShop currently supports pickup only. You place your order online and collect it directly from the vendor. This keeps costs low and keeps you connected to the source.

Do I need an account to browse?

No. You can browse all products and even add items to your cart without signing in. You only need an account when you're ready to place an order.

How do vendors get paid?

Payments are handled directly between you and the vendor at pickup during our early phase. CoShop does not currently process payments online.

Is CoShop only in Halifax?

We're starting in the Halifax area but plan to grow across Nova Scotia. If you're a vendor outside Halifax and want to join, reach out — we'd love to hear from you.

How do I contact a vendor?

Each vendor's store page shows their business details. For order-specific questions, vendors can update your order status and communicate through the platform.
