The Farmnivorous marketplace application is a readymade storefront for local shopping, including traditional farmers markets, individual businesses, and virtual community markets of all sorts. Create an online sales channel at yourname.farmnivorous.com, or join a marketplace that already exists.
for growers & makers
- Use a Farmnivorous Marketplace for your own branded storefront, create a new collaborative marketplace, or join an existing marketplace.
- Be live in as little as a day.
- Easily add and manage products and inventory, both in bulk and individually.
- In your own marketplace, customize up to a dozen or more options for customers to receive their order. Set fulfillment fees by delivery or pick up option.
- Build relationships with customer name, email, and order data.
- Option to adjust billed price if selling by weight or offering discounts.
- Receive your sale proceeds directly from Stripe, net of their standard fee for processing the charge of $0.30 + 2.9%. Stripe is the industry leader for processing credit cards in online storefronts.
- Create limitless customizable report views with Google Sheets integration, or use the default reports we provide you.
- Use the same tools to manage your products and orders across all Farmnivorous Marketplaces where you sell, but set prices and available inventory individually by marketplace.
- Option to invite other producers with complimentary products to join your market. They would manage their own account and receive their sale proceeds directly from Stripe.
For traditional & virtual markets
- A collaborative online pre-order capability can be expected to increase total market sales by 25% or more, because customers who can plan ahead will often spend more.
- Easily add new vendors to the marketplace. They manage their accounts and receive their sale proceeds directly from Stripe.
- Coordinate curbside and delivery options for customers. If a 3rd party provides the delivery, they can receive the delivery fee directly from Stripe.
- Flexibility to allow for EBT/SNAP or other form of payment at pick up vs. requiring online payment with credit card... and to set this by pick up or delivery option.
- Build relationships with complete marketplace orders data.
