Partner with PPP
30 Years of Purpose Driven Retail Partnerships
For 30 years, PPP has partnered with vendors to support purposeful retail and connect them with engaged, mission aligned stores.
Introducing the PPP Exchange
A controlled pilot for intentional new store onboarding
The PPP Exchange is a small, invitation only pilot designed to support the onboarding of new retailers into the PPP ecosystem. These are new stores introduced through the Exchange and are not part of the existing PPP membership base.
The Exchange runs alongside PPP’s core program and is intended to complement, not replace, the way PPP works today.
PPP will onboard a limited group of qualified retailers into the Exchange based on purchasing potential, engagement signals, and alignment with PPP’s retail standards and mission.
What stays the same
PPP’s core membership program remains unchanged.
Your relationship with PPP and our retailer community continues as the foundation of our work together.
Existing PPP member stores continue to operate under the current model and receive the standard 10% PPP savings. There is no change to vendor cost structure, participation requirements, pricing, or ordering processes for current PPP stores.
What is different in the Exchange
Exchange stores order directly with vendors under standard wholesale terms. The only distinction is how the PPP savings is applied and reconciled.
For core PPP member stores
Vendors continue to apply the standard 10% PPP savings at shipment. There are no changes to cost structure, participation requirements, pricing, or ordering processes.
For PPP Exchange stores
Vendors apply 5% savings at the time of shipment to the approved Exchange ship to address.
Vendors provide PPP with a quarterly summary of Exchange retailer purchases using standard sales reporting.
Following reconciliation, vendors remit an amount equal to 5% of confirmed Exchange purchases to PPP on a quarterly basis.
The total vendor participation equals the standard PPP 10% structure. The Exchange simply adjusts how that savings is allocated and tracked.
PPP provides a verified and updated list of approved Exchange stores and ship to addresses to ensure accurate application.
Exchange participation and purchasing expectations
Exchange stores do not participate through a traditional membership fee. Participation is earned and maintained through purchasing activity.
This structure allows the pilot to remain performance based and focused on real buying behavior rather than enrollment alone.
Quarterly confirmation and reconciliation
Exchange participation is performance based and tied to purchasing activity.
Each quarter, vendors submit sales totals for the approved Exchange store list using data they already maintain in their existing systems.
PPP consolidates and confirms the reported totals and issues a reconciliation summary. Vendors then remit the remaining 5% of confirmed Exchange purchases.
This process follows a consistent quarterly cycle and does not require new systems, special pricing files, or additional administrative infrastructure.
The structure ensures financial clarity, shared accountability, and alignment between participation and real buying activity.
Year One Growth Phase
The first year of the Exchange is structured as a controlled growth phase. PPP will monitor purchasing behavior, engagement levels, and operational alignment across participating stores.
During this phase, PPP will formalize long term standards that may include minimum purchasing thresholds, defined engagement requirements, and stricter qualification criteria for continued participation.
The financial participation model for vendors remains consistent. The evolution of standards applies to store eligibility and performance expectations, not vendor cost structure.
Why participate as an existing PPP vendor
The Exchange creates a structured path for onboarding new stores into the PPP ecosystem under defined performance expectations.
Participation is limited and actively managed. Store eligibility is based on purchasing potential, engagement signals, and alignment with PPP retail standards. As the program matures, qualification criteria will become more selective to protect vendor investment and ensure meaningful buying behavior.
Vendors maintain direct wholesale relationships and standard terms. The total PPP participation structure remains consistent with the existing program.
The Exchange is designed to introduce a number of qualified new accounts in a measured way, with continued participation tied to real purchasing performance.
