How to find a website or store for sale, what we check before it is listed, and how it moves to you with your money held in escrow.
You signed up to buy a website or store, so the app opens the marketplace on the Shopify stores storefront. Websites and domains for sale have their own storefronts beside it.
Narrow a storefront by category, sort by newest, price, best selling or top rated, and search. Each listing shows its seller, its asking price and the figures we measured for it.
That the seller controls what they are listing, and the authority and traffic figures shown — we measure those from the site named; the seller does not type them in. We do not verify a seller's opinion of its prospects, and no marketplace can.
Ask the seller anything first in the listing's message thread, then pay. You pay us, not the seller: the money is held in escrow while the site or store moves into your organisation with its files, database, domains and backup history. A domain registered here moves with the site; one registered elsewhere is the seller's to release, and the listing says which applies before you buy.
You have an inspection window, shown on the order, to confirm you got what was listed. The money is released when you accept, or at the end of the window if you say nothing. If something is wrong, raise it on the order before the window closes and the funds stay held while it is looked at.
To sell a site or store of your own, open Marketplace → Sell.
