Start selling

Open your store in an afternoon.

Set up payments, add what you sell and your dates, and publish. Buyers order with no account, and the money goes straight into your own payment account.

What setting up takes

  1. Create an account and your farm

    Free. Invite family or helpers later, each with their own role.

  2. Connect payments

    Create your payment account, or connect one you already have. You’re the merchant, and payouts follow your account’s schedule.

  3. Add what you sell

    Breeds and options with prices, deposits and minimums. Chicks, eggs, started birds, adults, packages, nucs, queens, honey or anything else.

  4. Add your dates

    Hatch dates, pickup days and ship days, each with an order cutoff and any mix of pickup spots, local delivery and shipping.

  5. Write your policies and publish

    Refunds, live arrival and sexing. Buyers read them before they pay. Then publish, and share your store’s link.

Before you start

What does it cost?

Setting up is free, and so is selling until your yearly sales reach $2,000. Buyers pay a 4% fee at checkout, shown as its own line. Card processing is billed to your payment account. See pricing.

Do I need to be approved?

Sometimes we look at new sellers before their store goes live. If so, your store’s checklist says so, and we email you once it’s approved.

Can I count chicks from my egg sets?

Yes. Set eggs in your records and choose the date they’re for. What’s for sale is worked out from your own hatch rates, with a safety margin. See counting from records.

What if a hatch comes in short?

Fill orders in the order they were placed with one button. Anyone left short chooses a swap, a later date or a refund. See short hatches and waitlists.
