⚙️ Business Settings

The Business Settings section allows you to configure your store’s core business information, visibility preferences, and essential profile details. These settings help customers find your shop and ensure your store is properly represented across the FarmToYou platform.

1. General

This section contains your main business details. All fields are to help FarmToYou support our Producers and meet the platform's business requirements.

Business Category

Primary Metric
Choose the primary metric that aligns with your business scale or activity.

Secondary Metric
Select an additional metric that further describes your business operations.


Visibility Settings

Open to Public

When enabled, your shop is visible in search results and across the marketplace.
Customers can browse your products and place orders.

Note:
If Open to Public is turned off, your shop will not appear in search results, and customers cannot view your shop or products.


Temporary Close

When enabled, your shop will appear as Temporarily Closed on the website and app.
Customers will not be able to place orders until you re-open your shop.

What does it mean when your shop is closed?
When your shop is temporarily closed:

  • Your products are hidden from customers

  • Your shop page will show a “Temporarily Closed” message

  • Ordering is disabled until you turn this setting off

When should you use Temporary Close?
Producers often enable this option when:

  • They are on vacation

  • It is the off-season for production

  • They need time for restocking

  • They are pausing operations due to weather, staffing, or farm work

  • They temporarily cannot fulfill orders
