Answer where to buy once instead of every day
One link listing the shops that stock you, always current, showing shop name and town only because the shops were never asked.
What you do today
You answer where can I buy this one message at a time, from memory, and the list you sent somebody last year is wrong by now.
One concrete detail
It publishes shop name and town and nothing else — no street address, no coordinates, no map pin — because a stockist is a third party who never agreed to be listed.
Your customers ask where they can buy your product, and you answer it one message at a time, from memory. The shop list you already keep for the ledger answers it permanently, on a page you can send.
It is the list you already maintain
No second list to keep current. The page is built from the shops in your account, so a shop you stop supplying stops appearing without you doing anything.
What it deliberately does not publish
Shop name and town. That is all.
No street address, no coordinates, no map pin, no opening hours. The shops on that page are third parties who never agreed to be listed, you cannot consent on their behalf, and some stockists are somebody’s house or a market stall. A map pin locates a house more precisely than a street name does, so withholding the address while plotting the coordinate would protect nobody.
Until there is a way to ask a shop, the page publishes what a customer needs in order to find it, and nothing more.
Common questions
- Who can open the link?
- Anybody who has it. There is no account and no sign-in, because the people opening it are your customers and always will be.
- Can a shop ask to be taken off?
- Yes, and it comes off every surface at once rather than just this page. That is deliberate: a shop that asked to be removed has not been removed if it is still visible somewhere else.
