Local Marketplace
Sell Local Products
A curated marketplace for new physical goods from producer businesses rooted in our service area.
Marketplace Merchants
A local shelf for accountable producers
The marketplace is built for small businesses that make, grow, roast, bake, package, or craft tangible goods inside the Mountain Eagle service area. It is designed for the kind of local producer readers may meet at a farmers market, community shop, or regional maker event.
Listings are connected to an advertiser company record and managed by a real individual associated with that business. This keeps every offer tied to a local company and a responsible point of contact.

Eligibility
Before you create listings
Marketplace access is reviewed before a business begins selling.
Connect the company
Your individual account must be associated with the advertiser company record that stands behind each listing.

An associated patron may sign the marketplace seller agreement with the business EIN after staff assigns marketplace categories.
Wait for approval
Listing tools unlock after an administrator approves the agreement and your account becomes a merchant.

Merchant Workflow
From approval to fulfilled order
1
Apply
Associate your local company, then sign the seller agreement once staff assigns marketplace categories.
2
List products
Create product listings and offers with category, availability, and pricing.
3
Publish
Send complete listings into the marketplace once they meet local-commerce rules.
4
Arrange pickup
Prepare paid orders and coordinate local pickup with the buyer. Shipping and delivery are not active.

Stay accountable

Role boundary: marketplace merchants operate in the commerce path, not the editorial contributor path. Staff may assist with advertising, but marketplace listings must be created by an individual associated with the merchant business.
