Sell Anywhere
Sell something cool you found or made, like a handbag, a painting, a ticket to a music show, a foot massage or even a burrito. Learn more.
From a video
If video is your medium of choice, Subports can enable you to sell from your videos wherever they are played, online or off. You can use videos to promote products, collect donations, sell a concert ticket or share a song. We experimented with a few videos spotlighting some of our favorite products over on Vimeo. [...]
From a catalog
Take advantage of the immediacy and portability of print and use Subports to sell your wares through your own catalog. As an example, we had these catalogs made for New York’s 2010 Design Week. Core77 had this to say: “Subports, a text-to-buy retail platform aimed at helping artists and designers sell their stuff without needing [...]
From a wall
Monika Wyndham and several other artists at SCOPE Miami used Subports to share artist portfolios and sell artwork right from the wall. This works beautifully whether you’re showing at an international art fair or a coffee shop in your neighborhood.

Tumblr is a great and easy way to sell products using Subports. Just as Tumblr easily permits blogging of a wide variety of media, Subports makes it easy to sell in a variety of ways on Tumblr. Perhaps the most straightforward way is to simply list a subcode in the body of a post. We’ve [...]
On Twitter
Subports was made to play well with Twitter. Subports allows users to sell from anywhere. Likewise, Twitter enables Subports sellers to broadcast from anywhere. Tweets are a concise, easy, and thoroughly modern way to offer subcodes to your audience for their purchasing pleasure.
On Craigslist
We love Craigslist but we hate carrying around cash or worrying about if the guy who’s writing us a check for our over-the-hill 10 speed is trying to rip us off. When you use Subports to process Craigslist payments, exchanges are secure and easy.
From a card
Cabinet issued these simple, easy-to-deal-with renewal cards. Using Subports enabled Cabinet to offer its readers an simpler renewal process than the frustratingly ubiquitous form-like renewal cards that most periodicals utilize.
Via psychic
On December 10-12, 2009, we debuted another one of our retail experiments: “Clairvoyant.” Catering to the customer who just doesn’t know what gift to get for a special friend or relative, “Clairvoyant” brought Subports users to Judith Auora Ryan who provided psychic readings to aid them in selecting the perfect gift. “Are you lost about [...]
In a pancake
On October 11 and 12, 2008, we staged a streetside bazaar in Brooklyn. Imagine this scenario: customers who wish to buy an item are turned away when they offer to pay in cash and instructed to register in a nearby trash can. The trashcan is noticeably new, clean and white. Flush mounted inside the can is [...]
