Questions
What farmers ask us
Do I have to use Shopify?
No. Pasturly comes with your website, checkout and market card reader all built in, so you don’t need Shopify at all. If you already sell on Shopify and want to keep it, Pasturly works inside your store too: your theme, checkout, apps and customers stay exactly where they are.
Can I start now?
Yes. Start your farm today: your first 7 days are free, with no card needed, and you choose a plan when you’re ready. Every part gets used at our own farm and market stall before any other farm relies on it. Already on Shopify? Pasturly inside Shopify is taking early-access farms now.
What do I need to take cards at the market?
Just your phone: it takes tap payments and phone wallets on its own. For chip cards, add a Stripe Reader M2, a small reader that pairs with your phone over Bluetooth. You’ll order it from inside Pasturly once your Stripe account is connected. You buy it from Stripe at Stripe’s price, Stripe ships it to you, and Pasturly adds nothing. On Shopify, you keep using Shopify POS and Shopify’s own readers. The Pasturly market app is on Google Play for Android, and coming soon for iPhone.
Do you take a percentage of my sales?
No. You pay one flat monthly price, however much you sell, and there’s no required setup fee either. Card payments go straight into your own Stripe account at Stripe’s standard rates, and Pasturly adds nothing to them. On Shopify, the price is on your Shopify bill.
How does selling by the pound work?
Each cut is listed at the most a pack will weigh, so the customer knows the top price. At checkout their card is held, not charged. When you pack the order you weigh each pack, and Pasturly takes only what it actually weighed. The rest of the hold is let go. Nobody waits on a refund.
I only do pickups. Do I need Route?
No. Pickup points, shipping and handing orders over are all in Market. Route is for farms that drive orders to people’s doors and want to know where every order and every product is.
Can I do market pickups and ship frozen meat from the same store?
Yes. Each customer chooses how they get their order first, and then only sees the boxes, products and dates that work for it. Produce can stay off the shipping option while it’s on every pickup.
Can customers change their box?
Yes, until the cutoff you set, like two days before pickup. They can swap their cuts or skip a box from their own account page, without calling you.
What about phone orders and people at the farm gate?
Type them into Pasturly, then email the customer a link to pay or mark it pay at pickup. Either way it lands on the same pack list as everything else.
Does Pasturly email my customers?
Yes. Pasturly sends receipts, pickup reminders and invoices from your farm’s own email address. On Shopify, Shopify keeps sending every order email, the same as it does now. When you want to tell everyone with a pickup this week something, Pasturly gathers them into a list in Shopify, and you write the email in Shopify Email. So you can email just your CSA members, your box subscribers, or whoever is picking up this weekend.
I’m on WordPress, Square or another farm platform. Can I move?
That’s who Pasturly is for. It’s being built to bring your WordPress pages over and keep your old addresses working, so you keep your place on Google. Start your farm, and write to us at admin@pasturly.com to say what you use now.
Who can see my customers’ details?
You, and the people you give a link to. A driver sees their own stops and a market hand signs in with their own PIN, and you can see who opened what and when. On Shopify, your customer list stays in your Shopify account.
I’m not technical. Can I set it up myself?
Yes. It was built for farmers, not developers. A setup list walks you through it one question at a time, in plain words, and there’s a short video for each step. You’ll never be asked to configure a variant or anything called a metaobject. If you’d like help, we also offer to set your store up for you.
