Shop Local Businesses for Performance Listing Customers

Small and medium businesses make our neighbourhoods great places to live and work. As businesses across Canada have their operations disrupted, many have created contactless options to help Canadians continue to find what they need.

We created Shop Local Businesses, a meaningfully curated section in the Adjeem Village, where inventory offered by businesses that are open and offer contactless transactions that can be discovered by Canadians. 

All businesses that appear in Shop Local Businesses offer at least one of the following: curbside pickup, drop-off/delivery, shipping, or cashless payment.

It is free to appear in the gallery on Shop Local Businesses and the search results page. But Performance Listings bids will continue to apply in the search results. 

If you’re a Performance Listings customer that offers one or more of our contactless transaction options, getting started is easy.

For your active listings:

• Select the listing from the My Ads dashboard on the Listings page
• Select the contactless transaction attribute(s) that you offer under ‘Fulfillment’ and/or ‘Payment’ in the ‘Details’ section

Shop Local Businesses is a curated section based on consumer demand and will not feature every Adjeem category at launch. 

Contactless transaction options will be visible in View Item Pages and filterable on Search Results Pages across the entire Adjeem ecosystem.
