All products in GrownBy must be linked to a location and schedule, so you'll need to create locations and schedules before creating any products. Here is a video about making locations:
Locations
Locations are where you distribute your products for sale. Locations do not need to be formal markets; you can distribute your products at parks, churches, private homes, or wherever your customers are willing to pick up their orders. If you need to keep a location private, we recommend listing a public location nearby the actual location as the address and sending the actual address to customers closer to the date, which will populate the map more accurately. You can call the location by the neighborhood name. If you want to limit a location to a certain group of customers (at a workplace, for instance) we recommend noting this in the location name (“Office Building – Employees of Office Building only”).
Location Name:
Location name should be the formal name of your location.
Location Abbreviation:
Location Abbreviation is a four-character code that will appear at the top of your order labels. If left blank, the code will be the first four characters of your Location Name.
Location Type:
Options are Farm Location, Farm Stand or Store, Farmers Market, or Community Location. Choose whatever works for you!
Address:
If you type into this first field to search for the location, GrownBy will use Google to fill in the address below. If that doesn't work for you, simply fill in the address fields manually.
Delivery and Shipping Zones
Creating zones is a lot like creating Locations except for a couple of crucial differences:
-Delivery zones are defined by zip codes; shipping zones are defined by State
-Shoppers will only be able to order for a given Delivery of Shipping Zone if the address they enter matches the zip code(s) or state(s) defined in the zones
-Delivery and Shipping Zones may have fees assigned to them. These fees are per-delivery or per-shipment. They will be invoiced separately from the order in the case that the order is for a future date or multiple future dates.
