E-commerce store setup

Online store setup for farms and food makers

A cart, checkout, taxes, shipping rules and product pages that describe what you make. We build the store, load the catalog, set the perishables rules and connect the marketplaces you already sell on.

How it works

  1. Tell us what you make

    What you make and what you use now. A spreadsheet and a Square account is a fine answer.

  2. Get a short plan

    Keep this, replace that, connect these, and the cost.

  3. We set it up

    Setup and migration done for you. You approve before anything goes live.

  4. Run it or hand it off

    Take it from there yourself or keep us on for the upkeep.

A good fit if

  • You take orders by text, Instagram DM or a Google Form
  • You sell on Etsy or Faire but have no store of your own
  • Your Shopify store was set up by a cousin and nobody has touched it since

Questions

Shopify or WooCommerce for a small food business?

Shopify for most: hosting, checkout and updates are handled, and it connects to marketplaces and shipping tools. WooCommerce fits when you already run WordPress and have someone to maintain it.

Can I sell perishable food online?

Yes, with the right rules: insulated packaging, cold packs, ship days that avoid a weekend in transit, and local pickup where shipping does not make sense. We set those per product.

Can you move my Etsy or Square Online listings?

Yes. We import the listings, photos and variants, clean up names and weights, and keep the old channel running if you want both.
