Claiming your shop on Shopuler

Your shop's listing on Shopuler can be looked after by you rather than by us. Once you have claimed it, every post you add comes down on a date you set, so last month's sale is not still sitting there next month. Whatever you want shoppers to know, claiming gives you a place to put it that will not go stale, attached to your listing, seen by people looking you up.

Shopuler is an iPhone app for finding not-for-profit op shops. It lists around 2,300 of them across every state and territory, and the list is built from public listings. It lets shoppers check in at a shop and suggest corrections as they go.

Shopuler is new, and it is small. It came out in September 2026. A small team makes it. We can't tell you how many people will see your listing, so we won't guess.

Claiming lets you look after three things yourself: your shop's details, like its opening hours and phone number; its profile and photos; and posts — a sale, an event, a wish list, a call for volunteers, or an update.

Your hours matter most. They are what a shopper opens the app to check, and once your claim is approved, yours are the ones it shows.

Every post comes down on a date you set, and a date is filled in for you — seven days for a sale, the day of the event for an event, thirty days for everything else.

Here is what it costs you.

There is no charge for claiming or for posting. You need an iPhone and an account to sign in with. A person reads every claim before it is approved, so it is not instant.

And once the listing is yours, we will expect you to keep it right. If your hours change, change them in the app too. A claimed listing that has gone out of date is worse than one nobody claimed, because it reads as coming from you.

Claiming takes a couple of minutes, from your shop's page in the app.

If you'd like to go ahead, here is how.

How to claim your shop

1. Find your shop in the app and open it. You can search by its name or its suburb.
2. Tap Run this shop? It's near the bottom of the page, after the reviews. If it says Claim pending instead, a claim from your account is already in.
3. Choose how you're connected to the shop: Manager, Volunteer or Organisation rep. This is the only thing you have to answer.
4. Add a note if you'd like. It's optional, it goes to the person reviewing your claim, and it has room for 200 characters — which shift you run, say.
5. Tap Submit claim. If you're not signed in, you'll be asked to sign in, and nothing you've entered is lost.

The app tells you Claim submitted, and the shop's page shows Claim pending until there's an answer. We usually check with the shop first, so it can take a few days.

A person reads every claim; it isn't an automatic check. The answer shows on your shop's page the next time you open it. We don't send a notification, so that's the place to look.

What you can change once your claim is approved

Three things, all from your shop's own page in the app. There's nothing else to install and no website to sign in to.

Your shop's details. Opening hours, phone number, address and description, and a Temporarily closed switch for the weeks you're shut. Start with the hours.

Your shop's profile. A mission statement, an impact statement, and photos you can add, reorder and remove. You can also say whether you're accepting donations and whether you're seeking volunteers. Shoppers see both on your shop, and can look for shops that are. These stay up until you change them; for something particular, use a Volunteers post, below. Tap Edit profile on your shop's page.

Posts, of five kinds: Sale, Event, Wish List, Volunteers and Update. Each has a title, a few words of your own, and the date it comes down. That date is filled in for you and you can change it. You'll see the post as a shopper will see it before you tap Publish. Editing a post that has already come down puts it back up with a new date.
