GateShare

Fresh from the gate, straight to your kitchen. GateShare puts New Zealand's roadside stalls, honesty boxes and home producers on one map, from Northland to Southland. Find eggs, veges, fruit, honey, home baking, flowers, plants, firewood and more from the people down the road, in the country or in town. Find it near you. Search eggs, honey or veg and see who has it on the map. Every stall shows its rough area, so you know what is close. Reserve or ask. Message the seller with a question, then pay for your goods by card in the app, or arrange cash for when you collect. Collect from their place. The gate might be a roadside stall, an honesty box or simply the seller's front door. You get the exact pickup address and directions once your purchase is agreed. Collect, confirm, and leave each other a review. Pay for your goods by card and the money is held safely, then released to the seller once you confirm you have collected. Cash sales are always free, for both of you. Selling? Turn your gate into a shopfront in minutes. Too many eggs, a glut of feijoas, handmade wraps piling up? List them with a photo, a price and a note, choose card payments, cash on pickup, or both, and let the neighbourhood come to you. Privacy is built in. A stall shows only its rough area on the map. The exact address is shared only after a purchase, and buyers are never asked for a home address at all.
