Farmnivorous, Indieversa + the Indie Shopping Verse, Sellers, Coordinators, and Shoppers

Sellers and Coordinators using Indieversa partner with Farmnivorous to create an online local community shopping experience. Indieversa provides the technology used by those Sellers and Coordinators and Farmnivorous and displayed on Farmnivorous and their respective URLs of the Sellers and Coordinators. The Indie Shopping Verse is a trademark owned by Indieversa which represents the collection of super communities and all the Sellers and Coordinators contributing to it. Super Communities are like franchises of Indieversa but with a focus on a particular geographic region or hobby.

Sellers are the businesses and individuals listing products for sale or donation using Indieversa. Indieversa is a technology that supports numerous business models, ranging from farms to restaurants, wholesale and retail businesses, and second-hand sellers.

Coordinators are businesses and individuals listing venues at or through which Sellers make their products available. This might include farmers markets or home delivery services, by example.

Shoppers are everyone who browses and makes purchases using Indieversa.
