ABOUT CARTILY
The best things in town don't always have a storefront.
They might be under a market tent, at a farm stand, or waiting in a baker's kitchen for this morning's pickup. Cartily helps you find the people making good things nearby — and know when to show up.
A local favorite shouldn't be a lucky find.
You hear about an incredible cookie cart from a friend. You search for its latest post, and by the time you find the right one the cookies are gone. A farm stand has peaches today; you hear about them tomorrow.
For the people running these businesses it's hard too. They're making, packing, setting up, and answering the same questions between customers: Where are you today? What's left? When will you be back?
Cartily started in Claremore, Oklahoma, with a simple idea: finding and supporting a small local business should be easier for everyone on both sides of the cart.
Make local easier to find — and easier to come back to.
A small seller shouldn't need a storefront or a full-time marketing job to be discovered. A shopper shouldn't have to dig through old posts to work out whether a trip is worth making.
On Cartily, sellers have one place to share what they make, where to find them, when they're open and what's coming next. Shoppers can explore nearby carts and stands, follow the ones they love, and keep up with only the updates they asked for.
A baker can announce the next batch. A shopper can tap Remind me. When the baker confirms it's happening, Cartily lets that shopper know — not when the clock says it should be, but when the person with the oven says it is. It's a small connection that makes it easier to show up for someone local.

What is Cartily?
Cartily is a free map, website and app for finding the people who grow, bake and make things near you. A local shop might be a roadside farm stand, a home bakery, a cookie cart at a market or a maker selling flowers, candles or soap. It does not need a storefront to have a place on Cartily.
We started in Claremore, Oklahoma, and shops are joining from other towns and states. Coverage varies by location. Our goal is to give each seller a clear place to share what they offer, and give neighbors a simple way to find them when it is time to visit.
How does Cartily work?
- Find a place or a product. Search a town, ZIP code, shop name or something you want, such as sourdough, farm eggs or cut flowers. Browse photo pins on the map or compare shops in the list.
- Check the shop before you go. A seller's page can show photos, menu items, hours, upcoming drops, pickup details and the contact links they have chosen to share. Check whether the pickup pin is available before making a trip.
- Make a visit easier. Follow a favorite for the updates you choose, or add a few shops to My trail and open the route in a maps app.
Cartily helps shoppers discover and contact sellers; purchases and pickup arrangements stay between them. It does not take orders or process payments.
How can I find local food on Cartily?
- Open the Cartily map and search your town, ZIP code or a product such as fresh bread, cookies, produce, honey or eggs.
- Tap Filters to narrow by what shops sell or Open now to see who is available. Switch to List to compare several sellers in the area.
- Open a shop page to check its menu, hours and pickup details. Follow a favorite or add shops to My trail to plan a few stops.
Check each profile for current hours, the seller's latest update and how pickup works. Small sellers may offer limited batches or change plans with the weather or harvest. If your town has few results, widen the search to nearby places. For availability, ingredients, allergens or payment, ask the seller directly before making a special trip.

Can I list my shop on Cartily for free?
Yes. A Cartily shop listing is free, and shoppers can browse for free. If you run a farm stand, home bakery, cookie cart, market stall or another local food or handmade business, you can set up your shop.
- Enter your shop name and choose the product types that fit what you sell. These help shoppers find you through the map filters.
- Add a pickup address where customers can find you, plus your menu and photos. Review the public preview before publishing.
- After publishing, open your shop settings to add your story, hours and the contact links you want customers to use.
Share your Cartily link on the social pages you already use, or put a QR sign at your stand so visitors can find your page again. Cartily gives customers a dependable place to check the basics without asking you to maintain another daily feed.

Do I need a storefront or a public home address?
No storefront is required, but a new shop needs a real pickup address to publish its pin on the map. It can be a stand, market or other place where customers actually pick up. That address is public when your pin is shown. After setup, you can choose to show the pin always or only while you are open.
If you use your home as the pickup spot, add it only if you want customers to find you there. Check your public page after setup so you know exactly what shoppers can see.
What if my shop is already on Cartily?
Some basic profiles come from a business's own public information and are marked unclaimed. Owners can claim, correct or request removal of a profile for free. Claiming lets you provide your own photos, products, hours and preferred contact details.
Can I follow shops without too many alerts?
Yes. You can follow a favorite and choose which opening or drop updates reach you, or turn alerts off. See how to follow shops and choose your alerts.
Can I use Cartily on my phone or the web?
Yes. You can browse cartily.co in a browser, and Cartily is also available for iPhone and Android. Get the app if you want your favorites, trail and chosen alerts close at hand.
Growing from Claremore, one local favorite at a time.
We began in Claremore, but every town has people worth finding: the baker with a Saturday batch, the grower waiting on the harvest, the maker setting up wherever neighbors gather.
We want more of those businesses to be seen — and more people to have that moment of saying, how did I not know this was here?
Come and find someone new.
Cartily helps people find each other. Purchases and pickup arrangements stay between the shopper and the seller.
