How APA producers get started
APA connects small farms and food makers with a member-supported marketplace. Producers keep their identity and story while APA handles the storefront, checkout, and order routing.
What APA provides
- Producer profile and shop surfaces that showcase your story and products
- Product publishing, categories, and merchandising under APA governance
- Routing profile and export-ready order summaries (fax, email, print, or hybrid)
- Member-first model: browse is public; pricing and checkout for members
Typical onboarding steps
- Share what you produce, where you ship, and how you prefer to receive orders
- Provide a product list, package sizes, and any handling constraints
- Review your producer story and publishing details
- Configure routing and run a test order through the workflow
- Go live and begin fulfilling member orders
What success looks like
- Members browse your story and assortment in one storefront
- Your routing preferences are respected from day one
- Order summaries are clear enough to process without extra back-and-forth
