An automated notification and reminder system helps the buyer and supplier to confirm and follow up on this agreement on the specific dates they designate. OrganicTrader has integrated the Intershipper quote system so users can quickly compare the rates of major shipping providers for a specific order. Many suppliers require payment in advance for on-line orders from buyers they have not worked with before. PayPal is an easy and secure way to accept credit card payments from buyers before shipping an order and has proved a valuable tool on many auction and exchange sites. OrganicTrader leaves the payment process completely in the hands of the buyer and supplier.
Registration is free.
Suppliers are charged an annual fee to list their products. Buyers are charged small transaction fees for completed orders. At present, a trial period will allow suppliers and buyers to register for and use the system free of charge through June 1, 2001. User Fees will apply only for use beyond this period.
