Local Marketplace

Sell locally with a public alias and a hosted mini-site.

La Plaza Marketplace is for local vendors, established businesses, and approved sellers who want a San Antonio storefront.

Soft launch: Marketplace applications and business claims are now open. Storefront categories below are a launch preview until approved sellers go live.

What it is

A hosted mini-site attached to your La Plaza presence with product categories, photos, descriptions, and moderated ratings.

What stays private

Your phone or WhatsApp number is collected for admin accountability and seller support. Public phone display is optional, and your storefront can show your seller name or pseudonym.

How payments work

Marketplace intro pricing is $20/month. No La Plaza commission. Sellers handle their own Stripe or payment processing fees, refunds, and fulfillment. La Plaza hosts the mini-site only.

La Plaza is a platform, not the seller of record. Each vendor is responsible for their own taxes, permits, payment processing, refunds, fulfillment, and legal compliance.
