Farmigo's Payment Policy

10/24/2013

Farmigo will send you an invoice around the 5th of the month for the previous month's charges. Then we automatically withdraw the funds from your bank account on file around the 20th of the month.

To calculate the total value of deliveries for a month, please run the "Past Deliveries ($)" report for the month. For "Date Range" enter in the 1st of the month, followed by the last date of the month. You can choose the "Breakdown By" - "Total" to get just the total for deliveries for the month. This will be the value we base our fee off of.

To learn more about the Past Deliveries ($) report, check out the following link:

IMPORTANT INFO REGARDING NON-PAYMENT
After 60 days of nonpayment, your administrators will not be able to access the system. PLEASE NOTE: If your administrative access is revoked it can take up to 7 business days to reinstate access. We will continue to operate the Farmigo system and give access to your members so as not to disrupt your business.

We at Farmigo have never been prouder to work together with you to be pioneers in the growth of the local food movement. We are excited to grow with you and to continue to have a major impact on the way people eat and live. As always, if you have any questions please contact our support team at support@farmigo.com

Choosing the Best Electronic Payment Method

10/2/2013

We are often asked, "Which payment methods should I offer my customers?" We always recommend using electronic check transfers as your primary method of payment as this is the most affordable option. If you would also like to offer payment by credit card, you have two options - a credit card processor (we recommend PowerPay but you can use whatever credit card processor you prefer) or Paypal.

Our Recommendation: Farmigo will support any decision you make for accepting credit card payment, but we do NOT recommend using PayPal. After four years and millions of transactions later, we have seen that consumers prefer credit card payment over PayPal. In addition, there have been numerous occasions when PayPal has not properly processed member payment. In spite of our efforts to have them correct these issues, we have found PayPal's customer support slow and at times unresponsive.

In today’s tip, we want to provide you with some insight about the benefits of using a credit card processor over Paypal. You are welcome to use any credit card processor, but we are going to use Powerpay as our example in this analysis. To learn more about other credit card processors, click here.

There are a few variables to consider when choosing between PayPal, Powerpay, or another merchant provider. These include:

Cost of Service
User Interface
Quality of Customer Support
