### ShopBroker is officially live – and Vaughan, you're first!

After months of development and testing, we're thrilled to announce that ShopBroker is now open for business in Vaughan. If you've been waiting for a safer way to buy and sell locally, your wait is over.

### What is ShopBroker?

ShopBroker is your trusted local marketplace solution that eliminates the need to meet strangers for transactions. We handle secure payments, professional delivery, and user verification – so you can focus on what matters: getting great deals and decluttering your home.

### Getting Started: Your 5-Minute Setup Guide

Creating your ShopBroker account is refreshingly simple. Here's exactly what to expect:

#### Step 1: Sign In with Email (30 seconds)

- Visit shopbroker.ca and click "Sign In"
- Enter your email address
- Check your inbox for a verification code
- Enter the code – and you're in!

✉️

No passwords to remember, no complicated forms. We use secure email verification to keep things simple and safe.

#### Step 2: Complete Your Profile (2 minutes)

Once you're signed in, you'll set up your seller profile:

- Basic info: Name and date of birth
- Contact details: Phone number (already have your email!)
- Address: Where our drivers will pick up your items

🔒

Your information is protected and only shared with our ShopBroker team and verified drivers to facilitate your transactions – never with buyers.

#### Step 3: Connect with Stripe (2-3 minutes)

Stripe is our trusted payment partner that handles all the financial magic:

- Click "Connect with Stripe"
- Choose Individual (for personal sellers) or Business (for registered companies)
- Have your banking info and ID ready
- Complete Stripe's quick verification

⚡

Most users are verified within minutes, though some may take a few business days.

#### Step 4: Start Selling!

Once verified, you can immediately:

- Create listings for items you want to sell
- Set your prices with confidence
- Schedule pickups at your convenience
- Track your sales and earnings
