Certification & Membership Fee – Fueling the Movement
A one-time certification fee (currently free) gets genuine independents certified by Xplore and on the map. An annual membership keeps you visible, supported, and part of a growing community — with pay-as-you-go features you can use when you need them.
Add the features you need, only pay for what you use.

Why We Charge for Certification and Membership.
With urgent challenges facing our local economies, your contribution helps ensure Xplore Local remains a real force against global corporations — and a voice that governments can’t ignore.
It also means we’ll never have to take money from institutions that could compromise our mission or our commitment to independent businesses and the communities they shape.
And as independents open, evolve, and sometimes close, renewal ensures we’re always celebrating those still here — the ones ready to welcome you through their doors today.
Independents and communities are better together
Xplore Local is designed to keep money within local economies and benefit you and your customers.
