Store owner perspective
“Visibility matters, but what really changes the business is having a simple reason for customers to come back.”
Agnieszka, Raus Berlin
For independent retailers
Turn in-store traffic into repeat store visits.
URBANSTORES is a merchant growth platform for independent retailers that helps nearby shoppers discover your products, follow your store via QR at checkout, and come back for new arrivals.
- Local product discovery
- QR follows at checkout
- New-product notifications
Built for physical stores that want repeat visits without a full ecommerce stack.
Merchant growth platform
No webshop required
Get discovered first
Make sure nearby shoppers find your products, not just your store.
URBANSTORES gives your in-store assortment a discoverable online presence so customers can find what you stock before they decide where to shop.
Product-led visibility
Each product gives shoppers a clearer reason to choose your store.
Relevant local intent
Show up when nearby customers are already looking for something specific.
Turn checkout into a follow
Use the store visit you already earned.
At checkout, customers scan your store QR code, follow your store on URBANSTORES, and stay connected after the purchase.
- The QR flow is simple enough to fit naturally into in-store checkout.
- You turn existing foot traffic into a follower base you can re-engage.
- You do not need a full webshop to start building a recurring digital channel.
Follow + Notify
Bring them back
Retention loop
A single visit can turn into repeat discovery.
Follow + Notify gives merchants a simple closed loop: the customer visits, follows, gets notified about new products, and comes back to discover more.
Visit
A customer discovers your store and buys in person.
Follow
A QR scan at checkout turns that visit into a follower relationship.
Return
New-product notifications bring attention back to your store over time.
Merchant proof
Merchants need more than visibility. They need a reason for shoppers to return.
The strongest pages convert because they reduce doubt quickly. URBANSTORES is built for physical stores that want local discovery, simple QR follow capture, and repeat visits from what they already sell.
Independent store fit
Works for boutiques, concept stores, gift shops, and curated retailers that sell in person.
Operationally simple
Publish products, use QR at checkout, and build a repeat-visit channel without a full ecommerce rollout.
Built for repeat visits
Turn existing foot traffic into followers you can re-engage when something new arrives in store.
Merchant proof
The merchant growth loop
A complete merchant story in five steps.
Each step reinforces the next: local discovery turns into follows, follows create repeat attention, and repeat attention becomes a durable merchant channel.
1
Get discovered locally
Your products help nearby shoppers find the store.
2
Convert the visit
A QR scan at checkout turns the shopper into a follower.
3
Publish new products
Your latest arrivals become new reasons to engage.
4
Notify followers
Followers hear about what is new without you running a full ecommerce channel.
5
Build repeat visits over time
You get more value from existing foot traffic through a recurring digital relationship.
Create a merchant account and start building repeat visits.
Publish real products, add the QR follow step at checkout, and give customers a clear reason to return when new items arrive.
Best for independent stores that want local product discovery and repeat customer attention without launching a full webshop.
