How does it work?
Each entrepreneur can create their own approach to merchants, by registering and listing products under certain commercial conditions or free of charge, paying by commission for completed orders, choosing delivery and payment policy, etc. Details>>
The online platform is a marketplace application, which means that multiple merchants can sell through the same online shop.
The local administrator of the platform can be a local public administration, an NGO, an association, an entrepreneur.
The local administrator can decide to take over and centrally manage order taking, deliveries to consumers and collections and then transfer the money to the merchants, or it can adopt a decentralised solution, where each merchant added to the platform is responsible for their own deliveries and collections.
Payment to the merchant can be made in cash on delivery, by card, by bearer POS, other electronic payment solutions (Example: Revolut Card). Each merchant is responsible for working legally, issuing receipts and collecting and recording sales in their accounts, regardless of the payment method used.
The entity that locally manages the platform, provides the marketing environment for the community and ensures its promotion in the environments where it communicates with producers/traders, citizens.
Traders will add the products they want to sell to the community, by categorising them in categories of interest, product description, relevant images, price and on a case by case basis delivery conditions.
Consumers have access to products, they can access and access individual merchants’ pages, cart the products they want, place an order and send it off, similar to the large, national online stores many are already familiar with.
The order goes to a person who centralises all the information, including the traders. Where an order contains products from more than one trader, each trader receives strictly the information they need to organise the delivery of the products on offer.
Delivery and collection can be done centrally, a method FivePlus recommends.
