Post a Deal, keep the sale, skip the delivery-app cut

A shop owner hands an order to a Gopher at her storefront door

Gopher Deals is free to list, the customer buys from you directly, and a local Gopher brings the order to their door without taking a slice of it. Here's how it works and how to get listed.

Every delivery-app pitch starts with reach and ends with a percentage. Gopher Deals starts with reach and stops there.

What a Deal is

A Deal is an offer you post — two lattes for the price of one, ten percent off a first pressure wash, a Tuesday pizza special. Listing is free. Every neighbor, Gopher, and business on Gopher sees it, and so does anyone browsing the web. When a customer wants it, they buy from you directly in Gopher's web view. You keep the customer, the pricing, and the profit.

The last mile, without the bite

If the customer wants it delivered, they tap once more and a local Gopher picks it up. The customer pays the Gopher's trip price plus Gopher's small fee. You pay nothing on the order and nothing for the trip. That's the difference between a Deal and the up-to-30% a delivery app takes off the top — we wrote the whole comparison up in Restaurant delivery without the 30% bite.

Want the top spot?

Featured placement on the Request and Connect home pages is optional and bid-based. Bidding is free; only winning costs, and you're charged on the closing day. If you never bid, your Deals still show everywhere Deals show.

Service Providers, you're in too. Power washers, landscapers, handymen, and every service business in between can post Deals. Eligibility is automatic and there's a bar: the form on the Deals page looks you up by your Gopher ID and comes back with terms. Your Deals appear under Local Service Provider Deals, and when a neighbor taps one they can send you a request in one click.
