The PPP Exchange.
Designed for thoughtful retail growth.
A simple way to build stronger vendor relationships, discover new lines, and grow your shop. No membership cost. No new platform to learn. Just direct access to vendors who already understand independent retail.
A meaningful seat at the table.
Without another membership invoice.
Direct Vendor Access
A curated group of PPP vendor partners, ready to work directly with your shop. No middle layer, no gatekeeping.
Built-in 5% Savings
Five percent applied automatically at shipment on every Exchange order, plus Net 30 terms with participating vendors.
Retail with Purpose
Full access to PPP education, events, and the wider community of independent retailers who take this work seriously.
A Path to Confident Buying
Discover new lines, build longer vendor relationships, and grow your shop on a foundation of real partnership.
Order the way you already do.
Confirm once a quarter.
You apply, we review.
A brief application about your shop, how you buy, and the vendors you’re drawn to. Most applicants finish in five to seven minutes.
You receive your Exchange number.
Once accepted, you’re given a number to use when placing orders with participating vendors. That’s it. No new portal, no separate cart.
You order directly with vendors.
Place orders the same way you would with any wholesale account. Your Exchange savings apply at shipment.
You confirm your purchases each quarter.
A short check-in four times a year. Timing and submission details are walked through during onboarding.
For shopkeepers who buy with intention.
Not just to fill shelves.
The Exchange is designed for retailers who are thoughtful about what they carry and intentional about how they grow. The strongest fit tends to be stores that are engaged in their local community, place steady orders across multiple vendors, and value relationships that last beyond a single season.
Because participation is capped at fifty in Year One, the application matters. We’re building a small, supported group rather than a long roster.
Engaged in your local market
Steady orders across multiple lines
Long-view vendor relationships
Curious about new lines, careful about fit
For nearly three decades, PPP has been built on relationships that last. The Exchange is how we welcome the next generation of independent retailers into those relationships.
Carefully. Deliberately. Built to hold.
A curated group.
Committed to independent retail.
The Exchange is built around vendors who have chosen to support new and growing retailers directly. View the current list to see who you’d be working with.
A few questions about your shop.
About five to seven minutes.
Because the Exchange is a small, application-based pilot, the questions help us understand how you buy and how the program can best support you. There’s no scoring rubric, no gotchas. Just a conversation in writing.
The application is just below. Take your time with it.
