How it works

Your shop. Our network. Your customers.

A plain-language tour of how PickQuick connects local shops with neighbours — without the jargon.

01·The platform, plainly

Your shop. Our network. Your customers.

No buzzwords, no jargon. Three connected pieces that do honest work.

Step 01

Your shop

Your primary location. You set hours, prices, and inventory. Your storefront, your rules.

Independent
Step 02

Our pickup network

Optional fulfillment locations across the GTA where customers can pick up your items — no extra inventory or staff on your end.

City-wide
Step 03

Local customers

Neighbours browse, reserve, and pick up the same day. They pay cash or Interac at the counter — no card on file.

Real people
02·One item, the shelves you pick

List once. Sell where you choose.

Add an item to your primary shop, then choose the pickup locations to expand into. Edit a price once — it updates across every location you've chosen.

Pricing, photos, descriptions — all in one place.

Stop maintaining duplicate listings across multiple shops. When you bump a price or update a photo on the primary item, every location you've expanded to updates with it.

  • One source of truth for every product
  • Per-location stock counts, not shared inventory
  • Choose exactly which locations each item expands to
03·When you get paid

From pickup to your bank account.

We process e-transfer payouts every two weeks. No holdbacks, no surprise reserves.

  1. Step 01

    Customer picks up

    Order is marked complete at the counter. Your share — after the flat 10% — lands in your pending balance.

  2. Step 02

    Balance builds

    Every completed pickup adds to your balance through the two-week cycle. Track it live on the Payouts page.

  3. Step 03

    Bi-weekly payout

    Every two weeks we send your pending balance by Interac e-transfer. No holdbacks, no reserves.

  4. Step 04

    Money in your inbox

    Arrives at the email on file — turn on Auto-Deposit for instant credit. We charge no payout fee.

04·Common questions

Asked honestly, answered plainly

When do I get paid?
We process e-transfer payouts every two weeks. After a brief confirmation window on each pickup, the next bi-weekly batch goes out as an Interac e-transfer to the email on file. No holdbacks, no fees.
What if a customer doesn't pick up?
You hold the item for the full pickup window. If the customer no-shows, you keep the item — they aren't charged, since payment happens in person at pickup.
Can I sell in more than one location?
You run one shop of your own. To reach more of the city, you expand items into PickQuick Managed stores — fulfillment locations we operate across the GTA. Your stock stays synced automatically, so a sale from a managed store draws down the same inventory.
Can I sell in person, not just online?
Yes — there's a built-in POS. Ring up walk-in and phone orders yourself, against your own shop or a PickQuick Managed store; stock and payouts update exactly like an online pickup order. At managed locations, our on-site team can also close sales for customers shopping in person, so your items keep selling even when you're not behind the counter.
Why no card payments online?
Two reasons. (1) Customers inspect items in person before paying — fewer returns, fewer disputes. (2) Lower fees for everyone, since we don't pay card-processing on every sale. You get cash or Interac at the counter.
What categories do you support?
We support 11 categories plus a catch-all: Electronics, Clothing, Home & Garden, Furniture, Sports & Outdoors, Books, Toys & Games, Health & Beauty, Food & Beverages, Automotive, and Pet Supplies — and an Other bucket for anything that doesn't fit. Pick the closest one when you list an item; if nothing fits, email us and we'll help.
How do you make money at 10%?
We earn a flat 10% commission on completed sales — including items that sell through PickQuick Managed stores. That funds the platform, the small support team, and the pickup logistics. No listing fees, no monthly subscription, no payment-processing cut, no paid placement.
Do I need a physical shop to sign up?
You need a fixed pickup address — your storefront, your studio, even your front porch if you run a home-based business. We don't support drop-shipping or sellers without a verifiable Toronto/GTA pickup point.
What about returns?
Because customers inspect items in person before paying, most issues are caught at the counter — so there's rarely anything to return. A built-in returns flow is on the way; for now, handle any post-pickup return directly with the customer.
Is there a contract?
No long-term contract, no exclusivity, no minimum-volume. Sell with us, on your own site, on Instagram, at the farmer's market. Cancel any time and we close out your remaining payouts on the next bi-weekly run.
Can shoppers use this without an account?
Browsing and adding to cart are open to everyone. An account is only required to finalize a reservation — so we have somewhere to send the pickup details.
Where are you launching first?
Toronto, May 2026. We're onboarding pilot shops across the GTA now. If you're outside the GTA, drop your email — we'll let you know when we expand.
Who built this?
