SIX BUSINESS DIRECTIONS
What Would You Like to Build?
You don't need to have everything figured out. Start with the customers, location, or type of service that interests you most. Each Platform provides a business-focused ecommerce foundation that can be configured around your products, pricing, services, customers, and market.
1. Hospitality & Vacation
Serve travelers before, during, and after their stay.
Built for vacation destinations, rental properties, hospitality providers, concierge services, resorts, and entrepreneurs serving travelers.
Use the Platform for pre-arrival groceries, local delivery, curated bundles, guest essentials, and other destination-focused services.
2. Local Grocery & Convenience
Build around the everyday needs of your local market.
Designed for neighborhood grocery services, independent retailers, convenience businesses, pickup and delivery operators, and entrepreneurs serving a defined local area.
Offer the products and services that make sense for your customers rather than following a predetermined catalog.
3. Senior Living & Community
Make everyday shopping more convenient for the people you serve.
Designed for senior living communities, residential communities, retirement settings, and service providers supporting recurring household needs.
Build scheduled grocery, essentials, bundle, pickup, or delivery programs around the community rather than forcing residents into a one-size-fits-all service.
4. Business & Workplace
Turn workplace convenience into a practical service opportunity.
Designed for offices, business parks, campuses, employee programs, meetings, and organizations that need convenient access to groceries, refreshments, supplies, and scheduled ordering.
Create a focused service around the needs of employees, teams, visitors, or facilities.
5. Specialty Retail & Shipping
Build a focused store around products customers seek out.
Designed for entrepreneurs creating curated or specialty retail businesses for local customers and, where appropriate, customers beyond their immediate market.
Build around regional favorites, specialty foods, travel products, gifts, hard-to-find items, curated collections, or another focused retail concept.
6. Mobile Pickup & Trailer Retail
Take your retail business where your customers need it.
Designed for mobile retailers, trailer-based businesses, scheduled pickup operations, events, and entrepreneurs looking for alternatives to a traditional storefront.
Combine online ordering with flexible pickup, mobile merchandising, and a product mix designed around your market.
A PROFESSIONAL STARTING POINT
Start With the Right Structure. Build Around Your Business.
Each Co-Op Shopper Platform is organized around a different business application, customer, and selling environment. The goal is to provide a stronger professional foundation than starting an ecommerce business from an empty website.
Business-Focused Structure
Start with pages, navigation, ecommerce organization, and messaging designed around the type of business you want to build.
Build the Right Product Catalog
Use Co-Op Shopper Product Assets, your own products, or a combination that fits your customers and business.
Operate It Your Way
Control your products, pricing, availability, service area, customers, policies, and day-to-day business decisions.
BUILD YOUR CATALOG
Your Platform Doesn't Have to Start Empty
A website gives your business its structure. Product Assets help you build the products customers can actually shop.
Co-Op Shopper offers professionally developed Product Assets across Costco Retail Ready, Costco Smart Portions, Grocery Bundles, and Everyday Market.
These resources can help establish and expand your product catalog without requiring every product to be developed from scratch. Use the Product Assets that fit your business, combine them with your own products, and build the catalog appropriate for the customers you want to serve.
