Opportunities for online trading are increasing. With all these opportunities, however, comes the need for coordination. Such as how you as a grower or buyer want to deal with corrections, whether you prefer to work with contracts and whether you as a buyer would like to receive purchasing tips or not. Automating these settings and being in control of them is now possible with Trade Settings in the Floriday screens.
Dashboard with sliders
With trade settings in the Floriday screens, working together is even easier and more pleasant. Growers and buyers can use a handy dashboard with 'sliders' to indicate how they prefer to work. This is easily configured in one place on Floriday. Not only does this provide clarity, but it also saves unnecessary work, avoids mistakes and makes dealing with each other more pleasant. You determine how you want to trade per relationship. You can also set your preferences, for example, whether you work with purchasing tips, contracts or stickers. Currently the following trade settings are available:
- Indicate whether you want to work with contracts as a grower or as a buyer
- Indicate how you as a buyer or grower want to deal with order corrections
- Offer growers the option of selecting favourite items
- Offer buyers the option of order, supply, trade item and packaging configuration requests
- Indicate how you as a buyer want to deal with transport costs
- Indicate if you, as a buyer, would like to receive purchasing tips from growers
Making exceptions simple
The configurations you make will apply, in principle, to all the associates you trade with. Don't want that? No problem, you can simply make an exception per trading relationship. You can find out how to do this in the help centre for growers and buyers.
More trade settings are under development
Floriday continues to develop and as such we will continue to add more trade settings in the coming period. For example, you will soon be able to indicate whether you also trade in other currencies or whether your shop is or isn't available to visit on Sunday's. Do you have any trade settings that you would like to see again? Please indicate this on the route map for growers and/or for buyers.
