If you need my help to setup your store for you, products are limited to only 5 products per store initially. After training and showing you how to add products and manage your store properly, you are free to add as many products as you like, given that the products meet our criteria of what is appropriate for our marketplace ofcourse.

The Field Collective is a brand new marketplace created to help friends and family from our church community launch and sell their own products. We charge a small subscription fee of $18/m ($216 annually) only to cover the basic costs of running the online platform and tools we need. There are no commission or percentage cuts on sales.

The only fees you need to keep in mind is a small transaction fee that gets taken by third party payment processors like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Stripe etc. This is outside of our control and you need to factor in 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction on every product sold.

This means for example if you sell a product of $100 the transaction fee that will get deducted from your earnings will be about $3.20. The Field Collective will therefore only be able to pay out earnings to you of $96.80 so keep this in mind when you work out your product cost and profits etc.

Store owners are responsible for shipping out their products to the customer as a sale comes in. Each store owner has access to their personal product portal where they can keep track of sales, upload new products, descriptions, pics, keep track of stock and stats etc and manage their storefront from.

When a product is sold on The Field Collective, you will receive an email notification. You can then log in to your product portal dashboard and have access to all the information you need to ship and fulfil the order to your customer. It is expected that shipping and handling is actioned as soon as possible so the client is not kept waiting. Generally speaking this is within a day or two max. Training is provided on this process once you are signed up and ready to launch.

As far as shipping cost is concerned, because we are a multivendor site and do not ship multiple products in an order from a single address, we offer 'Free Shipping' in our store so as not to conflate multiple shipping prices added on top of an order where say the customer bought 3 products from 3 different stores. This means, you will have to add your shipping cost to the price of your product. So for example, say you are selling a mug and you want to retail it for $15, but it costs you $7 to ship, your selling price in store should be $22 to include your shipping fee so that you are not out of pocket on the shipping expenses and it is factored into your product cost and profits.
