Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to have a Listing?
Creating and publishing a Listing is free, and the Basic tier is free forever. However, Basic allows only three inquiries per month. To stay visible in search results all month and receive unlimited inquiries, you need a paid Starter subscription. You can upgrade at any time – go to Accounts and Settings > My Subscriptions.
What is meant by 'visible to renters'?
Basic tier Listings are hidden from search results after your account receives 3 inquiries in a month. They remain accessible via direct link, ongoing conversations, and your dashboard. But they won't appear in the Storefront search results, where most inquiries originate.
What do you get with a free Basic Storefront subscription?
A live Listing visible until you hit the monthly 3-inquiry limit. No payment details required. Ability to receive inquiries and manage conversations. Secure payments on the Storefront platform. Your Listing goes live again automatically on the 1st of the next month when the inquiry limit resets.
What about the transaction fee?
Storefront takes 20% of the rental price as a transaction fee, but only when a booking is successfully completed. This fee is the same on Basic and Starter plans. This comes out of what the renter pays. When you set your price in the platform you will clearly see how much you will receive per transaction.
How long does the free trial last?
Storefront offers a free 45-day trial of the Starter subscription for new users. Once your Listing is published you can activate your free trial by going to Accounts & Settings > My Subscriptions in the Storefront menu. When you upgrade to Starter you will not be charged for the first 45 days but after the 45-day trial has ended you will be billed for the next month unless you cancel before the end of your trial.
What happens if the trial ends and I don't upgrade?
After 45 days you will be moved onto the Starter plan and automatically billed for the next month. If you cancel before the trial ends, your Listing will move to the Basic tier at the end of the trial, limiting your account to three inquiries per month.
Can I reactivate a Listing that went offline after hitting the inquiry limit?
Yes. You have two options: upgrade to Starter and your Listing becomes visible again immediately, or wait until the 1st of the next month when your inquiry limit resets and your Listing goes live again.
Can I create duplicate Listings to access the free trial again?
No. All Listings are reviewed by Storefront. Duplicate Listings, if approved, automatically fall under the Basic tier unless upgraded. The free trial is only available to each Listing Owner once.
How much does the Subscription cost?
The subscription is a monthly price that varies by country. In the United States it costs $49 a month. Prices for other countries are similar but vary slightly depending on currency, with multi-Listing discounts available.
How do I set up a listing on Storefront?
It takes less than 5 minutes. Start now and follow the on-screen steps to create your Listing.
Can I speak to the renter?
You can use the chat function to speak with renters in the platform. After you have worked with us for a while you will be able to speak directly with them by clicking the 'Request To Call Back' button. Please note: This functionality is not available to everyone and we reserve the right to remove it if we feel it is not being used responsibly.
How long does it take for a payment to process after it has been approved?
It usually takes 3-7 business days to process your payment.
How do I arrange a visit?
Once you have confirmed your availability with the contact, you can click the button that says 'Arrange a visit'. Here you can suggest multiple dates and times that the brand can select.
What kind of renters and brands use Storefront?
A broad range of brands and renters use Storefront to find venues and spaces for their projects. From high street apparel to high end showrooms and corporate events. If you make it clear in your Listing what types of renters your space is most suited to, you should only receive inquiries from renters within your target demographic.
Does Storefront organise the viewings?
We do not organise viewings if you manage the Listing. The best option will be for you to arrange your own viewings with renters. If you would like Storefront to manage your listing (including visits) please let us know and there may be a fee involved.
What types of spaces can I list on Storefront?
All types of commercial real estate perform well on the Storefront platform. Anything from retail, photo studios and art galleries, to showrooms and warehouses. We attract a broad range of renters looking for all manner of use cases, both short term and long term.
What do I do when the brand wishes to extend a booking or rebook?
If the brand wishes to rebook, please instruct the brand to go back to the Storefront Listing and rebook. This is part of Storefront's terms and conditions of usage and if you do not correctly follow this process we reserve the right to pursue any guilty parties for breaching the terms and conditions.
Can I refuse a project?
Yes, you can refuse a project if you feel the inquiry does not suit you or your Listing.
How can I get more bookings from my listing on Storefront?
Once your listing has been published on Storefront you are immediately visible to potential renters and able to start receiving inquiries. Make sure your listing has great photos, accurate pricing, and up-to-date availability. You can also Boost your listing for a monthly subscription to ensure your listing appears first when renters search.
Rent Out Your Retail Space and Find Tenants Fast
Whether you own a ground-floor storefront, operate a shop with underused square footage, or manage a commercial property between long-term leases, renting out retail space on Storefront connects you with brands ready to book.
What kinds of tenants are looking for retail space?
Short-term retail tenants on Storefront include emerging direct-to-consumer brands testing physical retail for the first time, established e-commerce companies running pop-up stores, fashion labels seeking seasonal boutique space, and consumer goods companies launching product activations. Demand is consistently strong in major markets, especially in the weeks around holidays and retail events.
Pricing your retail space for rent
Retail space pricing on Storefront typically depends on location, size, foot traffic, and included amenities. Ground-floor spaces with street visibility command premium rates. Spaces in high-traffic shopping districts or near transit hubs rent faster and at higher daily or weekly rates. Set a competitive price by reviewing comparable listings in your area when you sign up.
How the listing process works
Creating a listing takes under 30 minutes. Add your space dimensions, photos, location, and availability. Storefront handles the rest. Booking requests come directly to your inbox, you review and approve tenants, and payment is processed securely through the platform.
Making your retail listing stand out
The most successful retail listings on Storefront emphasise foot traffic data, window display potential, and proximity to anchor stores or transit. Tenants planning pop-up activations need to know what they're working with before they commit. The more detail you provide upfront, the faster your space rents.
