Assitance for buyer users

General workflow at AGROBOCA

The platform has been created to bring producers and consumers directly in contact with the intention of supporting farmers who wish to devote part of the arable area to higher quality agriculture and help them to sell directly to the consumer. More information about the project here.

Mechanics of operation
Producers and some retailers can open their stores on the platform and upload their product catalogs, choosing a free plan or payment plans with premium services.

Registered users can access all the information about the producers and buy their products directly from farm to home.

The AGROBOCA stores are prepared so that each producer can manage his own catalog of products, integrate a transport system and accept online payment through credit cards or Paypal. The intregated systems (payment and delivery) is only available for puchases done in Spain peninsular area.

Producers also have the option of not activating online sales and only receive the order alerts sent to them by Agroboca.

Each purchase is made to a single producer. This implies that each product should be chosen in a store. If you want to buy products in different stores, you have to make a purchase in each store with its corresponding transport.

What happens when a producer has very few products?
In order to solve the problem of a small variety, there are shops. They do not cultivate the land, but they know how to buy and sell products. Offering a good assortment and buying from the producers within the platform should be one of their added value to the stores of this profile. For this reason you will find stores in AGROBOCA that are not producers, but shops that perform this work.

Agroboca Store is a Agroboca page with a weekly selection of fruits and vegetables to promote some articles of the producers of the platform. Only on this page and because each producer can be in a different geographical area, fruits or vegetables are sent in individual boxes with different transports. The same products can be found in the store of each producer to buy directly.

Product Types

  • Assorted boxes: varied composition of products. For example baskets of different fruits, or different vegetables or mixed fruits and vegetables.
    In each product sheet you will find its composition.
    Assorted baskets make it easy to order and calculate the transport to the producer because they are of composition, measures and known weight.
     
  • Single-product (by weight or bulk): when the product you are looking for contains only one type. For example, you just want to buy potatoes.
    You can choose several products by weight and add them to your shopping cart. As the composition of the order, measures and weight not known in advance, the system will calculate at the end the price of transport according to the weight and the necessary volume most suitable for packaginf and transport


 

Payment Methods

To be able to pay the products you must be registered.

If you are not, at the time of completing the purchase the system will ask you to register. Follow the steps.

Accepted forms of payment are:

  • Credit cards (VISA, Master Card, American Express, ...)
  • Paypal
  • Order Alert (or order request): Stores withoutonline payment systems
    There are vendors who do not wish to receive electronic payments. In this case, at the end of the purchase process, only one order request will be sent with your contact information.
    Encourage your producer to activate electronic payment systems to expedite the purchase ; )

 

Transport and delivery (Spain, peninsula)

When completing the purchase you must indicate your delivery address inside  Peninsular Spain Area to calculate the price of the transport.

Orders containing products by weight or (in bulk) do not have a packaging of pre-established measures. The packaging will be prepared by the producer according to the weight and volume of the final order. For this reason it is possible that in some cases the price of transporting an order with products at weight is somewhat more expensive than that of an assortment of the same weight and pre-established measures.

Choose the transportation that best fits your schedule and ends the purchase.

Check the store's Purchase Conditions to know in advance the transportation systems and schedules available to each store.

 

Ordering panel

Once the purchase is complete, you will receive a notice in your email.

In your account, in the orders menu you will find a summary of the order made for its follow-up

 

Votes are very important

Each time a purchase is completed, both parties have the right and duty to value their experience. In this way a seller can know the reputation of a buyer, and a buyer can know the reputation of a seller and the average quality of their products.

To vote the products received, follow the link "Vote" in your order panel.

 

Lists and favorites

You can also save completed or half-completed shopping lists, to reuse them at another time or subsequent purchases.

Address lists are so you can save more than one delivery address.
