Order cycles

PreviousEnterprise FeesNextOrder Cycles (for Hubs)

Last updated 1 year ago

Online stores can be opened and closed by creating 'order cycles' on the Open Food Network platform.

The OFN web address for your shop will only display your list of products for purchase when an order cycle is open.

The format of setting up an (multi producer shop) differs slightly from that for (single producer shop).

It's possible to offer simultaneously, for example to allow a purchase for delivery in 1, 2 or 3 weeks.
