EnglishWhat Is the Storefront Priority Pass and How Does It Help You Secure a Space?
Updated
The Storefront Priority Pass is a paid service tier for people who need a space quickly or have hard-to-match requirements. According to Storefront's own site, Priority Pass customers receive three things: bespoke space propositions, a dedicated account manager, and access to all exclusive and offline spaces. It is positioned under the heading "In A Hurry?" — meaning it is aimed at users for whom the standard search-and-book flow is too slow or too limited.
What the Priority Pass actually includes
Storefront describes the pass with three concrete benefits:
- Bespoke space propositions — instead of only browsing the listings yourself, you get space suggestions matched to your brief.
- A dedicated account manager — a single point of contact who handles your search rather than you working through the platform alone.
- Access to all exclusive and offline spaces — spaces that are not (or not fully) available through the normal public listing flow.
The site frames the overall goal plainly: "increase your chances of securing your perfect space."
Who it is for
The pass makes sense in two situations:
- You are time-constrained. The "In A Hurry?" framing signals that the value is speed — a person working your brief in parallel with (or instead of) your own searching.
- Your requirements are specific. If your event type, duration, or location is unusual, bespoke propositions and offline inventory matter more than scrolling a filtered list.
If you have flexible dates, a common space type, and no deadline pressure, the standard search is likely sufficient — the site lets you filter by event type (retail/pop-up, showroom, gallery, conference, corporate event, food/beverage, meeting space, product launch, sample sale, photo shoot, flexible offices, shop share) and by duration (under 1 week, 1–4 weeks, 1 month+, 6 months+), then book by the day, week, month, or year.
How to decide whether to request it
| Your situation | Standard search | Priority Pass |
|---|---|---|
| Flexible timing, common space type | Usually enough | Not necessary |
| Tight deadline | Risky | Built for this |
| Unusual brief or specific location | Limited by listed inventory | Adds bespoke and offline options |
| You want one person accountable for the search | You manage it yourself | Dedicated account manager |
What the site does not tell you
The Storefront page does not state the price of the Priority Pass, nor whether it requires a separate account or login beyond normal site use. It also does not specify how quickly propositions are delivered or what "exclusive and offline spaces" means in practice (for example, whether they are unlisted, invitation-only, or simply not surfaced in search). Treat those as questions to ask before committing — the "Find Out More" link on the Priority Pass section is the entry point for getting specifics.
One related detail from the site: Storefront advertises "no hidden fees and free support" for the platform generally, and Stripe appears as a payment platform. That does not establish that the Priority Pass itself is free — the pass is presented as a distinct offering, so confirm terms directly.
Practical next step
If you decide the pass fits, the sequence is: define your brief (event type, city, dates, duration, size), submit it through the Priority Pass "Find Out More" path, and expect to work with an account manager on bespoke propositions rather than only browsing listings. If you are not sure yet, run a normal search first using the event-type and duration filters — if the results in your target city (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Milan, Hong Kong, or Barcelona) already cover what you need, you can skip the pass.
