No-Risk Business Participation
Joining WeBBi is free.
There are no upfront fees to list your business on the platform.
Businesses and imdependent vendors begin with 0–5 platform orders at no cost. Once your business receives more than five platform orders, participation fees apply based on WeBBi's tiered pricing structure.
Platform participation fees are capped at $100 per month for businesses receiving 25 or more platform orders.
Our goal is simple: We grow when your business grows.
Yes.
If you're an independent vendor, maker, creator, or entrepreneur and you're not yet a formally structured business, you may still be eligible to participate through WeBBi's Independent Vendor program.
Independent Vendors can showcase and sell their products while working toward growing their business.
Additional eligibility requirements and applicable laws may apply depending on your location and the products you sell.
As your business grows, WeBBi encourages vendors to establish a formal business structure when appropriate.
WeBBi is more than a directory—it's a community-powered economic ecosystem.
Unlike platforms that simply list businesses, WeBBi is designed to build and sustain economic infrastructure by connecting businesses, customers, drivers, Community Hubs, and ambassadors into one self-governing network.
Participation fees help support the systems that make this possible, including technology, community expansion, logistics, customer growth, and the development of local economic infrastructure.
Most importantly, WeBBi is built on the belief that everyone who benefits from the platform also contributes to its long-term success. Rather than relying on outside interests, WeBBi is designed to be sustained by the very businesses and communities it serves.
Our model is simple: every stakeholder has an opportunity to earn, every stakeholder has a role to play, and every stakeholder helps strengthen the ecosystem.
That's why WeBBi’s pricing is performance-based. Businesses pay nothing to join and incur no platform fees on their first five platform orders. Fees only begin after a business starts generating sales through WeBBi, allowing the platform to grow alongside the businesses it supports.
