Vote, Review and Learn.
On the store page you can vote, read a review, add a tag, or even start creating a list. If you've been to a place, make sure to come back and leave a review to help others.
If you're a blogger and have reviewed this place on your own website, feel free to link to it using the "related links" section at the bottom. We're pretty picky about spam so if your link doesn't show up right away be patient while the team reviews it.
About Lists
Lists are collections of shops that are uniquely your own which you can send to your friends. You can attach a comment to each store that you add to a list. When you email a list, BuyIndie will send a PDF which can easily be printed on a single piece of paper.
