Digital Main Street is an online platform that assists small businesses with digital marketing. As a response to COVID-19, Digital Main Street has collaborated with Google, Shopify, MasterCard and Microsoft to set up a streamlined program that will assist small businesses and artists in setting up and optimizing online stores.

It is a registered business, a registered non-profit organization or an artist.
It has a commercial location or is home-based.
It has fewer than ten employees or fewer than 25 employees if a restaurant or bar.
It is not a corporate chain or franchise.
