Farmer FAQs

Well!  We think you'll find Crop2Shop so useful that you may decide not to bother with the time and expense of maintaining a dedicated website.  But you may of course continue your sales through your other online or in-person avenues.  Reminder that there is no cost to the farmer for use of the platform.

Yes!  Crop2Shop’s Chat function allows both parties to the transaction to address any and all logistical issues involved in the transaction with your retailer and set up a delivery schedule that meets your needs. If you don't deliver, simply enter the radius within which you expect to make sales through the "Delivery Radius" menu item then arrange pickup using the Chat function on the platform.

Yes!  Crop2Shop facilitates payment via credit cards, PayPal and Stripe through the website, but allows for cash transactions as well.  The logistics for cash transactions are managed through the website’s Chat function.

We recognize that both the farmer and the retailer have unique constraints on both sides of the transaction.  The default mode of transportation is for the producer/farmer to transport to the retailer or household.  But which ever method is selected, the Chat function on the website is provided so that all aspects of delivery (days of the week, times, means and responsibility for delivery) can be arranged between the producer and retailer.  Note: an option for third-party transportation will be added to the platform in the future.

It costs nothing for producers to join and to use Crop2Shop!  Retailers pay a small surcharge on the price negotiated for the product(s), which is added to the total for the transaction.

These are handled directly between the parties either in-person at delivery or through the Chat function of the website in a manner similar to an in-person farmstand.
