Package / profile types
After completing your enterprise registration you have an option to be taken directly to the enterprise settings page.
From here you will need to choose the Harvest To Order profile which best matches your business model. Without this step, your enterprise account will not be created and, hence, your enterprise will remain invisible on our map.
Harvest To Order offers three types of enterprise profiles that will differ depending on whether you are a producer or not, and whether or not you want to open an online shop to sell on the Harvest To Order. The profiles types vary a little bit depending on if you are are a producer or not, so we describe them below under two main sections: the profiles for producers and then the profiles for distributors (or "hubs" in the Harvest To Order world :-)).
For Producers
There are three types of profiles for producers:
As a 'Producer Profile' you will not be able to manage your own online shop front. For more information on the quick setup guide for this type of profile, click here.
If you'd like to retail your products on an existing online sales platform and just use Harvest To Order to increase your visibility then the 'Producer Profile' package is for you!
You can put the link to your online shop in your enterprise description.
You would like to sell only your own products on Harvest To Order
This option allows you to run a shopfront which retails only those products in your own catalog. Note that 'Producer Shops' can conduct sales through their own shopfront and/or act as a supplier to other shopfronts (hubs).
