A product marketplace for homegrown produce built on Sharetribe
A unique marketplace for local gardeners to sell homegrown produce, featuring multi-vendor checkout and custom design.
Project Overview
Cropsie is an innovative online marketplace that connects local gardeners with buyers in their community. It allows users to sell homegrown fruits, vegetables, plants, and other garden products directly to consumers, promoting local agriculture and reducing the carbon footprint associated with food transportation. The platform is designed to make it easy for anyone, from professional growers to hobby gardeners, to find new fans and generate extra income from their surplus produce.
Execution
IT House collaborated with Cropsie to develop a feature-rich marketplace tailored to the needs of local gardeners and buyers. The project included the implementation of several advanced features to enhance user experience and streamline transactions. Key features include:
- Multi-Vendor Shopping Cart: Developed a shopping cart system that allows users to checkout separately for each seller, ensuring a smooth and organized purchasing process.
- iDeal Payment Gateway Integration: Integrated iDeal, a popular payment gateway in the Netherlands, to facilitate secure and efficient transactions.
- Custom Checkout Process: Implemented a custom checkout system where users can select shipping or pickup options for the entire cart, rather than per listing, simplifying the checkout experience.
- Exclusive Custom Design: Created a unique and user-friendly design that reflects the community-focused ethos of Cropsie, enhancing the visual appeal and usability of the platform.
