Setting up your vendor store

🛍 How to Set Up Your Store on Homegrown (Vendor Guide)

Welcome to Homegrown—your online storefront for selling local products through pickup, farmers market handoff, or local delivery. You bring the goods, and we’ll help you connect with nearby customers—fast.

Let’s get your shop up and running in just a few steps!


đŸ“Č Step 1: Open Homegrown

Go to findhomegrown.com in any web browser on your phone, tablet, or computer. Everything below works from the website.

You can also download the Homegrown Vendor app: App Store for iPhone, or Google Play for Android. It is optional. There is no shopper app.


🔐 Step 2: Create or Log In to Your Account

You can sign up using:

  • Your email address (you'll set a password)

  • Continue with Google

Already have an account? Log in with your existing credentials.

Forgot your password? Tap “Forgot password?” on the login screen to reset it.


đŸȘ Step 3: Set Up Your Storefront

Start with a few basics:

Store Name

This is what customers will see in your shop.

Store Image

Add a photo to help your storefront stand out. You can skip this for now and upload it later.


🛒 Step 4: Add Your First Product

A strong first product sets the tone for your store. You'll enter:

  • Product name and description – Be clear and highlight what makes it special.

  • Product image – A good photo goes a long way.

  • Product Options (optional) – choices like size, flavor, or color, each with its own price. Find them under Advanced Details on the product form.

  • Category – helps your product get discovered.

  • Price – one price for the product, or a price for each option if you use Product Options.

Each new product starts at the top of your store. Once you have a few, you can drag them into the order you want on the Products page.


🚚 Step 5: Choose How You’ll Sell

You can offer one, two, or all three fulfillment options—it’s your choice!

🏠 Local Pickup

Let customers pick up from your farm stand, pop-up, or home.

  • Enter your pickup location

  • Set the days and hours you’re available

đŸȘ Market Pickup

Let customers collect orders at a local farmers market.

  • Search for your market by name

  • Select it and review the existing schedule

  • If it’s missing, suggest a schedule:

    • Pick the months, weeks, days, and hours the market operates

🚗 Delivery

You bring the product to your customers—without platform fees.

  • Enter your origin address (kept private, used to draw your delivery radius)

  • Set your delivery radius

  • Set a minimum order subtotal

  • Add one flat delivery fee ($0 for free delivery)

  • Choose your delivery days

  • Set your prep time. Setup starts at Locations → Add a Location → Set Up Delivery.


đŸ§Ș Step 6: Start Your Free Trial

Start your vendor subscription to activate your free trial.

You’ll also be prompted to:

  • Add a payment method (to keep your store live after the trial)

  • Cancel anytime—no commitment required


🔒 Step 7: Add Your Bank Account

To get paid, go to Finances → Settings → Deposit Account → Edit and type your Name on Account, Routing Number, Account Number, Account Type, and Owner Type, then click Save Changes. We send a small test deposit to confirm the account, then withdraw it. Our payment processor also verifies your identity. This helps:

  • Prevent fraud

  • Build customer trust

  • Ensure reliable payouts

Your info is encrypted and never shared without permission. See Identity verification — what to expect.
