How to Host a Yard Sale with Stooplify

List your garage sale, stoop sale, or estate sale in minutes. Reach local buyers with QR codes, printable flyers, social sharing, and smart neighborhood alerts.

Share Your Sale

Every listing has a Share button. Tap it to share your sale directly to Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, X (Twitter), and more. The more you share, the more foot traffic you get!

Print a Flyer

On your sale's detail page, tap "Print Flyer" to generate a beautiful PDF flyer with your sale info, photos, and a QR code. Print it and hang it up near your block to drive local foot traffic.

Your Sale's QR Code

Each listing has a unique QR code. Display it at your sale so buyers can scan it to verify attendance. The QR code is also printed on your flyer automatically. You can download it separately from the sale page.

Set Payment Methods

Let buyers know what payment you accept: Cash, Credit/Debit cards, or digital payments like Venmo and PayPal. You can also mark Cash as preferred. Buyers can filter sales by payment method!

Build Your Seller Reputation

After buyers attend your sale, they can leave a star rating and review. A strong reputation score builds trust and gets more buyers excited to show up to your future sales.

Address Privacy

Your exact street address is kept private until the day of your sale. It unlocks automatically on the sale date, or when a buyer taps "I'm Attending." Only your general neighborhood is shown publicly.
