How it works

Your storefront. Your story.

When you join Arvo, you open your own shop. It's not just a sales page, it's a place to tell your story, explain how your products are grown or made, and connect with people who want to support local producers.

Arvo gives producers a simple, easy-to-use online storefront. You update product availability in your dashboard and manage the fulfillment in a way that works for your business. You can use our online payment platform or send customers to your existing sales channel.

Arvo also offers a place for you to tell the story behind what you sell, helping customers understand who you are, where you're from, and what makes your products worth seeking out.

With Arvo you can:

List products and availability
Share your practices and story
Promote your farm, your passion, your craft
Accept payments directly through the app (optional)

Questions, answered

The fine print, uncomplicated.

Here are answers to some of the common questions we hear. Don't see your question? Send us a note—we read every one.

Not at all. Arvo is designed to work alongside the ways you already sell. Think of it as another place for shoppers to discover your business, learn your story, browse your products, and connect with you.

Most online or social-media based marketplaces are broad, busy, and built for all kinds of buying and selling. Arvo is built specifically for local producers and shoppers looking for local food and goods. Your customers won’t have to worry about navigating through all the unrelated listings, ads or scams in their search.
With Arvo, you get a branded storefront, product listings, regional search visibility, and a place to tell the story behind your business — all in a marketplace designed around local. We also offer a secure transaction platform to accept payment if you choose that option.

Most producers can set up a basic storefront in as little as an hour or two. You’ll add your business details, photos, products, pricing, availability, and how you want customers to buy or connect with you. You can also save your progress and come back to it when you’re ready.

No. You can use Arvo as a discovery storefront and send shoppers to your existing website, social channels, or preferred sales process. If you want customers to check out directly through Arvo, you can use the built-in e-commerce tools at no extra monthly cost. Standard Stripe transaction fees apply when payments are processed.

Arvo is $29.99/month. Your monthly cost includes a branded producer storefront, product listings, regional search visibility, a simple dashboard, direct customer contact, and links to your website or social channels.
Note - for a limited time, the first 25 founding producers receive their first year free.

Arvo is built for Alberta producers who grow, raise, bake, or make local products. That may include farms, ranches, bakers, food makers, artisans, growers, and other independent producers looking for another way to reach local shoppers.

Yes. You control your storefront, including your pricing, product listings, photos, descriptions, availability, and seasonal updates.

You choose the fulfillment options that work for your business. Depending on your products and setup, that could include local pickup, delivery, or shipping.

Yes. Arvo is designed to work with seasonal businesses. You can update your availability, adjust your product listings, or pause ordering when products are out of season or you’re not accepting orders.

Each producer is responsible for making sure their products meet any applicable municipal, provincial, or federal requirements. That’s similar to selling through a farmers’ market or your own website.

If you choose to use Arvo’s built-in payment tools, payments are processed through the platform and deposited directly to you through Stripe. Standard Stripe transaction fees apply.

Yes. Arvo is built to help producers get discovered through regional search, producer storefronts, social media campaigns, and other advertising initiatives. Your storefront gives shoppers one place to learn about your products, your story, and how to buy from you. We believe that no matter what you are producing, sharing a platform with other producers will bring awareness and credibility.

Yes. Your storefront can include direct customer contact options, along with links to your website and social channels.

That’s okay. Arvo is designed to be simple to set up and manage. The dashboard lets you add products, update availability, and manage your storefront without needing to build a website from scratch.

You can start your store online or get in touch with the Arvo team if you have questions first. We’re currently onboarding producers before the public customer launch, so joining early gives you time to set up your storefront and be part of Arvo from the beginning.
