The Problem

Your shop got suspended. Your funds got frozen. You paid 15% fees on every sale.

Shopstr was built because this kept happening. Here is what is different.

No AccountSuspensions

Your shop cannot be banned, frozen, or deplatformed. Built on Nostr, you hold your store keys — no company can take them from you.

Get PaidInstantly

Bitcoin settles in under a second via Lightning or Cashu. No waiting periods, no chargebacks, no payment processor approval.

Your Businessis Private

No transaction surveillance. No third party watches your sales. Your data is encrypted and stored on relays you choose.

About Shopstr

Shopstr is a marketplace built on Nostr — an open protocol that no company controls. You do not need an account, ID, or anyone's permission to buy or sell. Your listings live on a decentralized network and cannot be taken down.

Buyers pay with Bitcoin via the Lightning Network or Cashu. Money goes directly from buyer to seller — no platform holds your funds, no chargeback is possible, and no mandatory fee is taken. Shopstr is fully open source.
