Local businesses can sell to nearby customers online through their own website, social shops, Google Business Profile, and low-fee local marketplaces. The big delivery and marketplace apps take 15–30% of each sale; a local marketplace like Good Circles charges 1% of profit, so you keep about 89% of your profit.
Where to sell locally online
- A low-fee local marketplace (Good Circles) — local discovery + a community benefit that draws customers.
- Your own website with simple checkout.
- Google Business Profile — show up in local search and maps.
- Social shops (Instagram/Facebook) for your existing followers.
Watch the fees
Delivery apps and national platforms can take 15–30% of each order — often the difference between profit and loss. Compare that to a 1%-of-profit local marketplace, and the math changes fast: on a $10 item you can net about $1.34 more per sale.
