Foodcoop Configuration

When a new foodcoop starts, there are a couple of choices to make.

• name of the foodcoop
• short name becomes part of the website address
• contact (general contact details, e.g. for letter headers)
  • address
  • email
  • phone
  • homepage (after login users will be redirected)
• margin, percentage that the foodcoop adds to the gross price to cover costs
• membership fee, what new members need to pay before they can participate
• signup form whether there is a signup form
  • if yes, then anyone can signup; after payment of their membership fee they can participate
  • if protected, then you can send a secret link to interested people; you can choose whether they will need to pay a membership fee first before they can order, or not
  • if no, then admins can invite users by email or create accounts manually.
• payment method: iDEAL, bank transfer, PIN or manual entry (after cash or bank transfer)
• order payment: when members need to pay an order
  • after order: only paid articles are ordered, like a webshop
  • balance: anytime, as long as the balance is above a certain minimum
  • prepaid: before ordering
• order schedule, how often and when do you want to have an order cycle?
  • pickup day, e.g. every two weeks on wednesday
  • order closes, e.g. every two weeks on monday
