Frequently asked questions
Why would I pay for a listing?
Most owners don't. Free listings are visible, searchable, and have all the metadata
a neighbor needs. Featured placement is for shops that want the home-page eye.
Does the Featured Listing renew automatically?
No. It's a one-time $25 charge that lasts 30 days. After 30 days, your listing goes
back to its free state — no surprise charge. Buy again if you want another 30 days.
What's the difference between Featured and Premium?
Featured ($25 one-time) is for short bursts — a holiday weekend, a sale, a local event.
Premium ($29 or $79/mo) is for businesses that want always-on enhanced visibility
plus Tier-2 extras like an integrated blog post and quarterly analytics.
Why are you building this with Stripe?
Stripe handles the small-merchant side cleanly: real cards, real receipts, no monthly
minimum. We don't store your card. Stripe doesn't see your listing. Standard SaaS handoff.
How do I cancel?
Premium subscriptions: log into your Stripe customer portal (link in your receipt email)
and click cancel. Featured listings: just let them expire — no action needed.
How do payments actually work, end-to-end?
Click Buy → Stripe Checkout opens in a new tab → you pay with card or Link →
Stripe sends a webhook to this site → the listing flips to "Featured" within ~5 seconds.
You'll get a Stripe receipt by email.
