How it works

List once. Residents nearby see you.

You do not need a village join code. You pick the community you sit near. We check the listing before anyone sees it.

1

Make an account

Your name, email and a password. Takes a minute. Then you can sign in any time.

2

List your business

Name, what you do, and which Verandah village you are near. That is the free listing.

3

We check it

The village or Verandah looks it over. Once it is approved, residents see you in Beyond the gate.

4

Add a listing or go featured

A listing is your business on the list. Featured is the big card at the top — photo, offer, first thing they see.

A small café shopfront on a quiet Australian street, the sort of place just beyond a village gate.
The places they already know Hair, a cuppa, the chemist — a short walk or a lift from the village.
What they open in the app Beyond the gate. Featured sits at the top. Everyone else is on the list.

Common questions

Do I need to be next to a Verandah village?

Yes. You pick the community you are near. Residents only see businesses around their own village — not a national directory.

How do the subscriptions work?

Listing is $19 a month including GST — your business on the list, with a photo. Featured is $49 a month including GST — the big card at the top, with an offer they can show at the counter, in every village nearby. Both are on a card, month to month. Cancel any time.

Is this the same as village pricing?

No. Villages pay by how many homes they have. This page is only for local businesses. If you run the community, see village pricing.

When do residents see me?

After the listing is checked. That can be the village office or Verandah. You will see “Being checked” until it is live.
