Free traffic for your Shopify store

Plukio is a search engine for independent shops - think of it as a directory of independent store websites that sends every shopper straight to you. Your checkout, your customer, your brand. Listing is free - submit a shop below and I'll take a look.

Platforms I support:

  • Shopify

    yourshop.com
  • Squarespace

    yourshop.com
  • Payhip

    payhip.com/yourhandle
  • Fourthwall

    you.fourthwall.com
  • WooCommerce

    yourshop.com

How it works

  1. I index your public storefront. PlukioBot reads what you already publish - there is no app to install, no account to connect, and no duplicate catalog. It honors robots.txt and crawl-delay, and it cryptographically signs every request, so you can verify that traffic claiming to be us really is ( how to check ).
  2. Shoppers find you in one cross-shop search. Your items appear alongside other independent shops - searchable by category, price, and availability - instead of being one tab among many.
  3. Every click lands on your store. Plukio has no checkout and takes no cut - the shopper buys from you, on your site. Claim your shop to see the clicks I send you.

What it costs

Nothing. Wow! Plukio is currently free for shop owners - being indexed is free, claiming is free, and it never sit in your payment path, so there's no commission to take. I'm building the audience first; if paid features ever come, I'll say so clearly, and being listed stays free.

You stay in control

In or out is always your call. Ask to claim your shop to unlock crawl controls, messaging, and click analytics - I review each request, and I'll email you when it's decided. Or opt out entirely with one robots.txt rule, no claim needed. Opt-outs are honored without argument; see how PlukioBot works for every mechanism.

Frequently asked questions

Do you support Etsy?
Unfortunately not. What makes independent websites easy to catalog is forbidden by Etsy - they do not like me. But I do maintain a list of Etsy websites that I like at /elsewhere. If you ever do decide to get an independent website, then I'll 100% be there for you and get you added.
What does it cost to be listed on Plukio?
Nothing. Plukio is currently free for shop owners - no listing fees, no commissions, no payment processing, and claiming your shop is free too. If I ever introduce paid features, I'll say so clearly before you use them.
How does my shop get listed?
Each shop is reviewed by me to check for quality and if it is 'small scale' enough. For now, join the /r/plukio subreddit and submit a post with your domain. If you are on a platform that I do not support then let me know via Reddit and I'll do my best to support it.
How long until my shop shows up?
Pretty much instantly after I add it. I've been at craft faires and I'll add a shop from my phone and it will show up. The waiting time is generally just waiting for a review.
Do shoppers buy on Plukio or on my store?
On your store. Plukio has no checkout - every buy click lands on your own storefront, so the payment, the customer relationship, and the brand impression are all yours. Claim your shop to see the clicks I send.
Can I control or remove my listing?
Oh, absolutely. I really don't want to have your shop on here if you don't want it here. You may have to sign up first to claim the shop but if you reach out via email, Reddit, or Discord then I'll prioritize the request. I'll be sad to see you go though.
Is Plukio affiliated with any of the platforms that it indexes?
No. Each platform is its own thing and none of them endorse what I'm doing. But do you think if I ask nicely they'll give money for driving traffic to them for free? I'm hungry :(
