Approve who joins, require a signed agreement before anyone orders, and keep delivery routes open to members only. Three gates you turn on independently, or leave off entirely.
Most farm platforms give you a store and a customer list. AcreTrail gives you three separate gates. Approve who gets into the app. Require a signed agreement before anyone can order. Keep individual delivery routes open only to the people on them. Use one, use all three, or use none.
New signups can land on a waiting list instead of walking straight into your catalog. You see who is waiting and let them in when you are ready. Farms use this to keep growth at a pace they can actually deliver on, rather than as a hard capacity limit.
Upload your membership agreement and customers sign it in the app by typing their name. AcreTrail keeps the signed copy, the date, the version of the document they agreed to, and the IP address they signed from, so the record matches what your agreement asks you to keep. Attach a one-time fee if your program has one.
Herd share agreements usually turn on the distinction between buying into the herd and paying for its care. AcreTrail records boarding fees as their own payment type rather than mixing them in with product sales, and reports them separately in customer history and the tax summary.
Membership software controls who is allowed to buy from you, not just what is for sale. AcreTrail gives you three gates you can turn on independently: approve who joins your app, require a signed membership agreement before anyone can order, and keep individual delivery routes open to members only. Turn none of them on and it works like a normal store.
Yes. Upload your agreement, and customers sign it in the app by typing their name. AcreTrail stores the signed copy along with the date, the version of the document they agreed to, and the IP address they signed from. You choose whether the agreement is presented when they log in or the first time they add something to the cart.
Yes. You can attach a one-time fee to the agreement, so signing and paying happen together before the catalog opens. Set the fee to zero and it becomes a signature-only gate.
Add them to the pre-approval list by email or phone. When they create an account they are matched automatically and skip both the signature and the fee, so you are not asking existing members to re-sign something they already signed.
Yes. AcreTrail records boarding fees as their own payment type rather than lumping them in with product purchases, and they are reported separately in customer history and in the tax summary. Herd share agreements usually depend on that separation, so it is kept distinct in the data rather than being a label on a line item.
No. Every gate is optional and the agreement gate is off by default. Most farms start with nothing turned on, add approval for new signups when they want to control growth, and only reach for signed agreements if their program calls for one.
