What does it cost?
Nothing. There are no fees to apply, list, or sell, and you keep 100% of your price. Buyers pay shipping at checkout.
How and when do I get paid?
Payouts go straight to your bank through Stripe.
Do I have to ship orders myself?
No. You can ship yourself with our cold-chain labels, use an approved processor, or offer local pickup only.
What if I'm not USDA-inspected?
You can still sell in your state, including beef shares and local pickup. We'll show your products to buyers in your state and help you find a USDA processor if you want to ship nationwide.
