How a suitcase becomes a shop

Post the trip

Travelers list a date, city, and leftover bag space. Shoppers browse who is already going there.

Request the item

Send a product link, photo, or shop name. Pay the item plus a small fee — held until you confirm.

They shop & pack

Receipts go on the request. The item sits in their cabin bag, not a warehouse.

Handoff at home

Meet at the airport, a cafe, or doorstep. Confirm in the app and the traveler is paid.

Four steps. Escrow holds the money until the bag is in your hands — whether you are the traveler or the one asking.

Simple fees. No surprise freight.

You pay the shelf price, a percentage on the package, and a handcarry fee for the space in their bag. Money sits in escrow until you confirm the handoff.

Service fee per package

$6+

Handcarry from a small pouch

See a quote → How escrow works

For shoppers

Pay the shelf, plus two lines

  • 8% service fee on the item subtotal, capped per request.
  • Handcarry from $6 (pouch) · $12 (shoebox) · $22 (carry-on share).
  • Refunded automatically if the traveler cannot buy or fly.

For travelers

Earn on space you already packed

  • Keep 100% of the handcarry fee — that is your luggage rent.
  • Keep 70% of the 8% service fee. Byway takes the rest for escrow & support.
  • No listing fee. You only shop what you accept.

Brought home, in their words

Shoppers and travelers on the same flight path — Japan, Korea, and the weekly Singapore hop.

“Asked Ayu for the Hada Labo I cannot find here. She sent the receipt from Matsumoto Kiyoshi the same afternoon. Had it the night she landed.”

“I was flying home anyway. Three skincare requests, one snack run. The handcarry fee covered my taxi from Soekarno-Hatta.”

“My sister used to jastip over WhatsApp. Byway meant I could pay one person I had never met — and still get the Thai snacks before they sold out.”
