Collaborative Economies of Scale
Indieversa™
The heart of the Indie Shopping Verse, Indieversa is a tool for creating and managing your online and on-site sales, online storefronts, product inventories, digital menus, and more. What makes Indieversa unique is the ease with which it can be used to create virtual collaborative online markets between members... like farmers markets and maker markets and even collaborative home delivery services... your products show on your store and on the collaboration's store simultaneously.
The basics
Pricing, availability, and sales management by venue or date for artisanal growers and makers. Private pricing by customer list for wholesalers. Digital menus, ordering, and fulfillment organizing for restaurants. Hobby stores for hobby resellers. All easily managed from your phone, table, or computer.
One account, many storefronts
Create or join collaborations easily, like maker markets or holiday fairs. Your products show on your store and on the collaboration host's store with no extra effort. Easily set variable pricing and availability by venue or date.
Many ways to manage your cash
Take online orders without online cards/fees, or easily connect/open your Stripe account to process online and onsite orders. Where cards are used, Stripe processes sales and remits your individual proceeds directly to your bank account. The Indieversa team never touches anyone's sales proceeds.
For Entrepreneurs and Visionaries
Super Community Marketplaces
The Indie Shopping Verse is not another basic online marketplace. Indieversa makes it easy to manage multiple online storefronts with collaborative online markets, and Super Community Marketplaces are how we organize all of those Indieversa stores and collaborative markets into a searching experience tailored to a local area.
Democratized collabrative markets
Any member can create shared venues, which turn that member into a host. Visiting customers see products of participating members after they choose the venue.
Democratized last-mile delivery
Members create venues to coordinate sales. A venue can be a place where a customer picks up their order or a delivery option. Restrict delivery orders by zip code. Members can build their own collaborative online markets with last-mile delivery for stores in their own zip.
Democratized Super Community Marketplaces
Indie Shopping Verse is a de-centralized collection of super community marketplaces, each a partnership with a local business that wants to bring the Indie Shopping Verse experience to their own town (or hobby). We manage the technology, while our partners curate the local experience.
