At Local Food Marketplace (LFM), our mission is to help you get local food to your community—from family dinner tables to restaurant meals, school lunches, community food pantries, and more!

With all the different ways you sell your products, you need an online sales system that is as flexible as your business. LFM makes it easy to customize dynamic price lists for each of your different customer types. Best of all? We offer unlimited price lists across all packages—no extra fees for more price lists!

Unlimited price lists are one way to customize your shoppers’ experience. For example, maybe your retail prices are slightly higher than wholesale due to the work required to box smaller quantities of product. With LFM, you can list each product one time, and use different price lists to automatically display different prices for each customer type.

Custom Price Lists for Unique Customers

In addition to setting a price list for each of your customer types you can even set unique price lists for specific shoppers. Here are some examples:

1. 1. One of your customers is a local high school that can only purchase GAAP-certified produce. No problem! Create a custom price list that limited their shopping experience to only relevant products. And the rest of your customers can still shop everything else!
   2. You’re working with a local restaurant that is only interested in Certified Organic products. Customize their viewing experience to only see what’s organic.
   3. You’re happy to grow certain products for a long-time loyal customer, but don’t offer them for sale to everyone else. Create a custom price list with those items–for that shopper only!
   4. Create a custom list that only displays fresh fruits and veggies to your grocery store producer buyer customers!

Here are a few reasons to use multiple price lists for online sales:

1. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach to local food.

So why use a platform that forces all your online customers to shop in the same way? With LFM, it’s up to you what products and prices each type of customer can view and purchase on your online store. And there’s no limit to the number of different price lists you can create.

2. Grow your sales opportunities. 

LFM makes it easy to sell online to more customers than ever. We recently spoke to a customer who did just that—growing from one online sales channel to four.

3. Let the software make it simple.

Let LFM do the work for you – list an item for your sale ONCE, and the platform will automatically calculate and update the different prices for all your customer types. Multichannel sales doesn’t need to mean multiple software platforms. With custom lists, LFM can help you sell to many different customers all in one place!

4. Get Creative! 

We’ve created a flexible system that local food providers across the country are using in unique and innovative ways. One example is Upswing Farm’s sliding scale farm share. Read on to learn how Upswing Farm uses LFM to let shoppers chose between three different price levels based on what they can afford to contribute for local food.
