When you shop on Rootsy, you're doing more than adding something to your cart — you're uplifting a real small business operating in Canada.
Every item you purchase sends encouragement, support, and opportunity directly to someone working hard to build their life, provide for their family, and share something meaningful with the community.
Canada is filled with passionate small business owners:
Despite their diversity, they all share one thing:
they depend on buyers like you.
Rootsy brings all these sellers together on one trusted platform — giving you more variety, better options, and a chance to make a genuine impact with every purchase.
Online shopping has become massive, but somewhere along the way, the human touch was lost.
Most marketplaces today revolve around giant corporations, where small sellers are overshadowed, margins shrink, and customer experience becomes robotic and impersonal.
Rootsy was created to bring back meaning.
✓We believe buying should feel good.
✓We believe supporting small businesses should be easy.
✓We believe Canada's economy grows strongest when people uplift one another.
And that belief shaped everything Rootsy stands for.
Every product listed here belongs to a Canadian business — not a massive warehouse. When you buy, a real person notices, smiles, and celebrates that order.
From Canadian-made goods to globally sourced items curated by local sellers, you'll discover products with personality, passion, and purpose.
Rootsy offers the simplicity you expect: secure payments, easy checkout, nationwide delivery, and responsive support.
We verify sellers, protect buyers, and work with trusted logistics partners to ensure every order is handled with care.
Your purchase helps pay someone's rent, expand someone's shop, support someone's family, or fuel someone's dream.
This is shopping that matters.
Rootsy is home to thousands of different dreams:
A single parent shipping out packages after the kids fall asleep
A newcomer learning the ropes of Canadian business
A young entrepreneur importing global finds for local buyers
A retired couple starting the business they always imagined
A boutique owner reaching customers outside their city
A hobbyist turning passion into income
A creative mind pouring love into every handmade piece
Their stories differ, but their hopes are the same:
to grow, to be seen, and to have buyers like you believe in them.
When you make a purchase on Rootsy, your impact is real.
You become part of their story.
Shipping should never discourage buyers from supporting Canadian businesses. But rising shipping costs make it harder for everyone — especially small sellers.
That's why Rootsy designed a fair, shared shipping model:
Rootsy absorbs
Sellers contribute
Buyers pay
This balanced approach keeps shipping affordable for buyers while still protecting small businesses from overwhelming costs.
We do this because we want more Canadians to feel encouraged to shop small — without worrying about expensive shipping fees. And we want sellers to grow sustainably, not struggle.
Rootsy isn't built to maximize profits.
It's built to maximize fairness.
