SETUP

   

Can I run a club that works with multiple farms/vendors?

YES

?

Myrealfoods also works great for one farm!

AGGREGATION: Can I sell food from multiple vendors on a single invoice for the customer?

YES

?

Can my club be private? (but allow me to accept new members easily)

YES

 

This means that your drop site addresses and schedule and price list can be for members-only. But products MAY be visible for public viewing, at your option.

Can I customize the appearance of my club pages with my own photos and text?

YES

?

 

Can my club registration form include a customized questionnaire?

YES

?

 
    

ADMINISTRATION

   

Can I send email blasts to all my customers through the platform?

?

?

 

Can I receive an email notice when a new user registers?

YES

?

 

Can I accept credit cards for sales and membership dues?

YES (with Paypal)

?

 

Does the platform itself store up credit card numbers or banking details in its database?

NO

?

Myrealfoods never stores or even has momentary access to user’s credit card or bank info. Only Paypal.com does, a highly trusted payment processor. If a platform stores credit card numbers, it is a potential point of security risk for your customers.

?

?

?

YES

?

 

Can I have custom ordering deadlines?

YES

?

 

Can buyers modify their orders before the deadline?

YES

?

 

Does the platform push advertising or listings of other food sellers to my customers?

NO!

?

Myrealfoods is a service for sellers (by design, not an afterthought). We serve *you*, the club owner, and that’s why we charge you a small fee. When you direct a potential customer to your own club page on Myrealfoods, that user is not exposed to advertisements from other clubs or sellers. Be wary of platforms that could actually cause you to lose your existing customers.

YES

?

 

FEES

   

Does the buyer have to go through a “paywall” (fee to the platform), to purchase my products?

NO

?

 

If the buyer does pay a monthly fee to the platform, does that give them the ability to buy from other sellers within the platform?

n/a

?

 

Do I pay a fee on gross sales? If so, how much?

Free trial then 1% of gross sales; $25/mo minimum
