An online farmers market platform for local growers.
Yclas is an online farmers market platform for markets, food hubs and co-ops: each grower runs a storefront, customers fill one cart from several farms and pay once, and the money is split between the growers with your commission. Eggs by the dozen, veg boxes, honey and meat, with pickup or delivery at checkout.
Free for 15 days · No credit card · Checkout on Marketplace
For the people who bring growers together.
A market already has the growers and the regulars. Online, it needs one place to order from all of them.
A farmers market online, page by page.
Real screenshots of Pasture, our farm demo, and Hometown Market, our multi-seller shop demo. The growers are made up; the pages are the real product.
The storefront, cart and checkout are shown on Hometown Market, a demo selling bikes: a food market uses the same pages.
Storefronts for every farm.
Each grower gets a storefront with a logo, banner, their story, policies and every product. Customers follow their favourite farms and get one email a day when new produce goes up. Out of season, a grower switches on vacation mode with a message, and it ends by itself.
- Store teams: family or staff help run a farm's store.
- Ratings on each store from its customers.
- A directory of every store on the market.
Options, stock and quantity prices.
A product can have options with their own price and stock, such as half a dozen or a dozen eggs, or 500 g and 1 kg of honey. Stock goes down with each order and shows "Only 3 left". Growers set quantity discounts and minimum orders, and run sales with start and end dates.
- Bundles: a veg box bought together for less.
- Coupons from growers and from the market.
Shown with bike sizes: a grower uses the same screen for weights and pack sizes.
Pickup or delivery, chosen at checkout.
Growers set their delivery rates by country or area, with free delivery over an amount, and can offer pickup instead. The customer pays once with a card through your Stripe account; each grower is paid their share and you keep your commission, by category or by grower.
- Commission rates by category or by seller.
- Abandoned cart reminders by email.
Not included: pickup time slots or market-day order cycles. Tell customers the collection day and place in each grower's policies and on your pages.
A listings-only market on any plan.
Not ready for online payment? On Starter or Professional, growers list what they have each week, customers message them to reserve, and payment happens at the stall. Add checkout later by moving up to Marketplace.

What is an online farmers market platform?
Software for a website where several local growers sell to customers through one shop: each has a storefront, customers fill one cart and pay once, and the market takes a share.
Does the online farmers market platform handle pickup slots?
No. Customers can choose pickup at checkout, but there are no time slots or order cycles. Publish your collection day and place on your pages.
Which plan do I need?
Marketplace for storefronts, the shared cart, split payments and commission. On Starter and Professional growers can list produce and take orders by message.
How are growers paid?
Through Stripe Connect: each grower's share goes to their own account. Growers without Stripe can be paid from a balance they withdraw.
Can I sell veg boxes?
Yes, as a product or as a bundle of several products for less. Repeating box subscriptions are not included.
Can growers sell by weight?
Yes, as options with their own price and stock, such as 500 g and 1 kg.
Is it local food marketplace software or just a shop?
A marketplace: many sellers, each with their own store, stock and payouts, and you running the market.
The parts of Yclas this leans on.
Your farmers market, open every day of the week.
Set up the market, connect Stripe and invite your growers. Free for 15 days.
