Questions?
This is a brand new pilot program, so we don't have all the answers. But, here are some of the common ones we can address. Have a special question? Reach out via Messenger or email.
Nothing. The goal is to help you have more opportunities to sell locally. You can list your products for free, always. We just take a small 10% commission when the product sells through our platform. It helps us keep the lights on.
We don't currently have a great way to manage all the different shipping variations individual merchants may require. So, we don't charge shipping. Instead, we encourage you to factor shipping into the price of your item, so that neither you nor the customer has to worry about shipping charges.
We don't store or manage inventory. So, when an order is placed, you'll receive a notification that someone wants your stuff. After that, it's up to you to determine the best way to fulfill the order.
This is a new initiative. We want to make sure that we're highlighting local businesses and that the business is selling products that work for our platform. Once we get some reps, this may change.
Honestly, this is a pilot program. We'll see how it works.Have a question? Send us a note on Messenger or an email and we'll do our best to answer it.
