Provider Account and Business Account
To start posting and selling products, you need to create either a Provider Account or a Business Account. Each account has different features and functionalities, but both can be created and used for free.
Let's take a closer look at each category.
Account Type and Usage Purpose
A Provider Account is recommended for individuals who want to sell surplus harvests from home gardening or share homegrown vegetables and fruits.
On the other hand, organizations such as agricultural corporations, NPOs, and other groups should create a Business Account to access all services. It is also recommended for sole proprietors or those who wish to continuously sell farm produce without formal business registration.
Pickup Product Sales
This method allows buyers to collect their ordered products from a designated pickup location. Sellers predefine pickup location options, and buyers select their preferred location. Sellers can use their home, farm, or a FarmAny partner store. Secure handovers, such as using number-locked boxes, can also be arranged when you can't be there.
Both Provider and Business Accounts support pickup product sales.
Shipping Product Sales
This method involves shipping products to the buyer’s specified address. It is available exclusively for Business Account users.
Event Hosting
Users with a Business Account can host events such as lectures on food production, environmental seminars, nature tours, and harvest experiences. Events can be listed, participants can be recruited, and tickets can be sold. On the event day, an entry management feature is also available.
Partner Store Registration
If you operate a physical store, you can register it as a FarmAny partner store. Once registered, your store can utilize AnyCredit’s in-store payment feature and be listed as a public pickup location.
By enabling AnyCredit’s in-store payment feature, other FarmAny users can use AnyCredit to purchase in-store products. This can help drive sales, as local providers selling vegetables and fruits can spend their earned AnyCredit at your store.
By making your store a public pickup location, other providers can designate it as a product pickup point. This increases foot traffic as providers and buyers physically visit your store, potentially boosting in-store purchases. Building a network with local providers may even allow you to host unique marketplace events in front of your store.
This feature is available for Business Account users.
Adding Operating Members
Business Accounts can be managed by multiple members. You can assign different access rights to each member to ensure proper account management.

Legal Disclosure Requirements
Business Accounts are subject to regulations under the Act on Specified Commercial Transactions. If a buyer requests seller information, the required business details will be disclosed.
