CommunityShopper lets any group — a tower block, a workplace, a sports club — pool their orders and unlock 10–35% off everyday essentials. The more people join, the lower the price for everyone.
The mechanic
An admin opens an order, the community pledges, the window closes, and the vendor ships. Every pledge counts toward a better price for everyone.
A community admin picks a product from verified vendors, sets a 3–14 day window, and shares the link. No upfront costs, no stock to hold.
Members commit to the order. Each pledge is held in escrow — no money moves until delivery is confirmed. As buyer count rises, the price drops for everyone.
The vendor dispatches. Each buyer confirms receipt. Funds are released automatically. Admins earn a commission. Everyone gets a GST receipt.
Sliding discounts
Discounts unlock in tiers. Every new buyer improves the price for the whole group — including everyone already committed.
Who it's for
Organisers run campaigns, buyers save as neighbours join, vendors get guaranteed volume — see the steps above for how it works.
Open orders, nudge members, and earn 1.5%–3.5% commission on completed GMV. If a tier doesn't fill, buyers are refunded in full and you earn no commission on that order.
Start your community →Request an invite to your community, pledge during the window, and save 10–35% as more neighbours join. Pay only when your order ships — cancel anytime before the window closes.
Search for your suburb to see buying groups in your area, then request an invite to join.
Set tier pricing, receive itemised dispatch manifests, and get paid via Stripe once buyers confirm delivery — no ad spend, no uncertain pre-orders.
Apply as a vendor →Where communities shop together
CommunityShopper works wherever people already share something — a building, a workplace, a club, a school. If you have 10 people and a WhatsApp group, you have a community.
Apartment towers, housing estates, and strata blocks pooling orders for cleaning products, pantry staples, and household essentials.
Most popularOffice buildings, co-working spaces, and employer groups organising bulk orders for coffee, snacks, health products, and office supplies.
Fast-growingSports clubs, parent groups, religious communities, and neighbourhood associations pooling orders for equipment, uniforms, and specialty goods.
New in v1Getting started
A new community doesn't start from zero alone — we help you seed the first campaign so buyers have something real to join.
Choose from our launch vendor list — everyday essentials with tier pricing already set. No negotiating from scratch on day one.
Share the link with 5–10 neighbours or colleagues before opening publicly. Early pledges build momentum and unlock better tiers faster.
Founding admins get direct founder access — help choosing vendors, nudging members, and troubleshooting your first window close.
Where we're live
We're focused on one city with real communities and real orders, not a global launch map. More Australian cities follow once Melbourne is humming.
We're opening CommunityShopper to a small group of founding admins ahead of public launch. You get Elite commission (3.5%) for your first 12 months — a rate that normally requires $50,000 in lifetime GMV — plus direct access to our founding team.
Built with trust at the core
Payments are processed by Stripe Connect — held by Stripe, not CommunityShopper — and released only when the order completes or refunded automatically if it doesn't.
Payments & payouts processed by Stripe ConnectYour card is charged, but funds sit in Stripe escrow — not our bank account.
When the window closes, the order locks if enough buyers joined — otherwise everyone is refunded automatically.
You confirm receipt (or we auto-confirm after the SLA window). Stripe releases funds to the vendor and organiser commission.
Your payment never sits in a CommunityShopper bank account. Stripe holds it until delivery is confirmed or the order is cancelled.
Wrong item, short delivery, or damaged goods — raise a dispute in the app. Our ops team reviews and resolves within 5 business days.
Every vendor is ABN-verified, manually reviewed, and earns a trust score based on fulfilment, dispute rate, and delivery times.
Every purchase comes with a GST tax invoice for buyers and vendors. Full BAS support for Australian businesses.
