We are back and we live! We missed you! While things have been quiet on the old app, we’ve been busy behind the scenes completely rebuilding where.a.bouts from the ground up.

We’ve moved from a mobile-only app to a high-performance Web App.

Shoppers, be patient with us. We’re working with our merchants to update their stores so you can get shopping.

Small business owners, there’s no need to wait. Sign up and start selling. No listing costs no subscriptions. We make money, when you make money.

To our legacy users: Your account is waiting for you!
We’ve safely migrated your details from the old app including any store and products that you had. Simply head to the link below and use the “Forgot Password” option with your original email to set up your new secure access.

where.a.bouts was a solution that came from the crisis caused by the pandemic, another time when small businesses were faced with an existential threat. Now as we find ourselves at odds with a former ally, that threat is back again. We are a proudly Canadian company that stands with Canadians and Canadian small businesses. There’s no better time to shop Canadian. Sell and shop with whereabouts.

If you haven’t already, add your business to whereabouts so more local shoppers can find you.

What do YOU think? 🤔 We’re considering adding the option to publish your whereabouts eStore online, expanding your reach beyond the app. We want to enable you to create a e-commerce website that your customers can browse and buy even without the app. Your feedback is essential as we plan this exciting update!

Hey Small Biz owners on where.a.bouts👋👋 We are excited to see so many of you jumping on to try the new Pay & Reserve function. We've also received a few questions about how to set it up. Stripe does have some compliance requirements in order to collect payments for your business. The good thing is you only have to do it once. There's only 3 very important steps:
1. Check your email for Stripe verification and access to your dashboard.
2. Upload the compliance documents. Select 'Sole Proprietor' for business type if your business is not incorporated. If incorporated, upload incorporation or CRA/IRS documents showing business name, address and directors name(s). You will need to upload government issue photo ID.
3. Add your bank details where your money will be paid out to.

Once done, you're ready to start making those sales! You can check your orders on where.a.bouts or you can login to your Stripe dashboard to the cash that will be paid out. Email use for any support questions: [email protected]
