Lingram Trinbago Market Lingram Group

Trinbago goods.
Trinbago people.

A marketplace being built for Trinidad & Tobago makers, growers and small businesses — so customers at home and across the diaspora can find you without going through a middleman who takes the best cut.

Apply as a vendor Tell us what to stock

The market is not open yet. There is nothing to buy on this page and no checkout — we are signing up vendors first, because a marketplace with no sellers is just a website. Both forms below are live and reach a real person.

How this gets built

Vendors first, then doors open

In that order, deliberately. Launching to shoppers with empty shelves wastes their trust and yours.

Vendors apply

You tell us what you make or grow, where you are, and how much you can supply. Applying costs nothing and commits you to nothing.

We build the first catalogue

We work directly with accepted vendors on listings, photographs, pricing and what shipping is realistically possible.

Shoppers get first notice

Everyone on the shopper list hears before the public launch, and gets to say what they have been unable to find.

The market opens

With real stock, real sellers and honest delivery timelines. No date is promised here until it is a date we can keep.

What we are building

Planned from day one

Marked honestly — open now, or planned. Nothing here is described as working before it works.

Vendor applications

Open to makers, growers, cooks, crafters and small businesses in Trinidad and Tobago. Reviewed by a person, answered by a person.

Open now

Shopper waitlist

Say what you want to see stocked. That list is what we take to vendors, so it genuinely shapes the catalogue.

Open now

Vendor storefronts

Your own page, your own story and photographs — not an anonymous listing buried in a search result.

Planned

Diaspora shipping

Getting Trinbago products to family and customers abroad, with costs stated plainly up front rather than at checkout.

Planned

Payments & payouts

A payment route that works for both local and overseas buyers, and pays vendors out on a schedule they can plan around.

Planned

Ahimsa standards

Shared with our sister marketplace: honest sourcing, honest labelling, and no exploitative treatment of people or animals.

Planned

For vendors

Apply to sell

If you make it, grow it, bake it, sew it or build it in Trinidad and Tobago, we want to hear from you — including if you are small, seasonal, or have never sold online before.

We cannot promise fees, commission rates or launch dates yet, because setting those before we know the vendor base would mean making them up. What we can promise is that you will be told the terms in writing before you are ever asked to commit to anything.

Leave blank if you do not have one yet.

This reaches the Trinbago Market inbox and is read by a person. No fee, no obligation, and your details are not sold or shared.

This is the useful part — it is what we take to vendors.

One notice when the market opens. No drip campaign, and you can ask to be removed at any time.

For shoppers

Tell us what to stock

Whether you are in Trinidad and Tobago or thousands of miles from home, the list of things people cannot find is what decides which vendors we approach first.

You are joining a waitlist, not placing an order. Nothing is charged, and you will hear from us once — when there is actually something to see.

Straight talk

What this site is, and is not

  • The market is not open. There is no catalogue, no cart and no checkout anywhere on this site.
  • No launch date is published, because we would rather miss no promise than break one.
  • Vendor fees and commission are not set yet. Nobody will be charged without written terms first.
  • Both forms on this page really submit — they say so only when the server confirms it, and tell you plainly if something fails.
  • This is a commercial venture of the Lingram Group. It is not a charity, and it is kept entirely separate from the group’s nonprofit work.
