You use our online store-building tools to create your LocalHarvest Store.
We'll review your LocalHarvest Store to ensure that it complies with our standards, and approve it for inclusion into our catalog if it does.
We will actively market and offer your products to the public via the LocalHarvest Web site.
When a visitor buys your products from us we reserve the funds on the buyer's credit card and email notifying you of the order.
You then log on to your "order center" to view details of the order including the address and products ordered.
Once you ship the product to the address the buyer has indicated, you visit your order center and click the "Confirm Shipment" button.
We then charge the customer's credit card and place the money in your LocalHarvest account.
We will mail you a check once a month for the amount of purchases that have cleared at that time.
For most catalog products, LocalHarvest retains a payment of 13% of the sale, including shipping but before taxes (10% sales commission + 3% credit card processing fees) plus a $0.25/order processing fee. The exception to the above is CSA subscriptions, for which the total commission/fees is 6% (3% sales commission + 3% merchant account fees) plus a $0.25 order processing fee.
Products that do not sell at all within 12 months of initial approval will be "retired" from the LH catalog. Vendors may appeal the retirement of a product by contacting the LH Catalog Coordinator.
