The Onboarding Process
6 Steps to Your Storefront
Our streamlined onboarding walks you through everything you need to set up your seller account and start accepting orders.
Tell Us About Your Farm
Start by sharing your farm's name and a brief description. This helps buyers connect with your story and understand what makes your farm special.
Add Your Farm Address
Enter your farm's physical address. This serves as your return address for shipping and helps local customers find farms near them.
Choose Fulfillment Options
Decide how you want to get products to your customers. You can offer shipping, local pickup, or both!
Configure Shipping (If Enabled)
If you chose to offer shipping, select how you want to handle it. You have two options to fit your workflow.
Review Compliance Requirements
Confirm that you meet our food safety and documentation requirements. This protects both you and your customers.
Connect Stripe for Payouts
Link your bank account through Stripe to receive payments. This is how you'll get paid when customers purchase your products.
After Signup
What Comes Next?
Once you complete onboarding, you'll have access to your seller dashboard where you can start building your store.
Add Your Products

Customize your store profile, set up pickup locations if offered, and fine-tune your settings.
Start Selling
