NicheShift

Founders' note

Most commercial space in America is dark for the majority of the week. The studio is empty after 6pm. The kitchen sits between services. The conference room is booked on Tuesday and Thursday and nothing else. We built NicheShift because those hours are real inventory, and the people who could use them have nowhere obvious to look.

We're a focused marketplace, not a vacation-rental tool repackaged. Listings are commercial, non-residential, and priced by the hour. Insurance is per-booking. Payouts are daily. Everything is built around the few mechanics that actually matter for this kind of inventory.

For hosts

Five reasons your idle hours belong here.

A marketplace for commercial space is a different shape than a vacation-rental site. Every piece below is built around that difference.

  1. 01

    Daily payouts via Stripe

    Money lands in your bank the next business day after each booking. Identity verification happens inside Stripe Connect Express — we never touch your bank details.

  2. 02

    Insurance on every booking

    Per-booking commercial general liability through Thimble. Optional for the renter, or required by you on a per-listing basis. The certificate is attached to the booking record.

  3. 03

    Embed the booking widget

    Paste a one-line snippet on your own website. Bookings through that path run on the 3% fee tier instead of the 10% marketplace tier — you keep more when you bring the traffic.

  4. 04

    Recurring bookings with your discount

    Renters who want a weekly slot can book a 2-12 week series. You set the threshold (e.g. 4+ weeks unlocks 10% off) and the discount they earn. Loyal renters lock in their hours.

  5. 05

    Renters never see a hidden fee

    Your hourly rate is the rate they pay. We take the platform fee on the host side at charge time. Clean checkout, fewer abandoned carts, more conversions.
