Your lot. Your standards. Your share.

The spinney those stalls join. Your lot approves who gets a pitch, and a fee share comes back.

What it is

Community, in a sentence or three

A community is the grove, not a third stall on your account. Personal and business stalls ask to join. Organisers approve who gets a pitch. Listings from those stalls show in the spinney, and a share of the platform fee comes back to the community.

Community

The spinney those stalls join. Your lot approves who gets a pitch, and a fee share comes back.

How it works

Three steps. No MBA required.

  1. 1

    Start the spinney

    Name it, say whether it is a place, a shared interest, or an organisation, and write who it is for. A street, a PTA, a club, a society.

  2. 2

    Stalls apply

    A personal stall or a business stall asks to join. With approval on, nothing of theirs shows until an organiser says yes.

  3. 3

    A share comes back

    On transactions in the grove, a share of the platform fee goes to the community wallet. Organisers decide what it funds. The stall still receives the sale.

Example listings

What it looks like on a stall

Three made-up listings inside one spinney. They belong to different stalls. The spinney is what approved them.

  • Sell

    Friday bake-sale brownies

    Priya's personal stall · Stoke Newington Parents & Makers

    £3.50

    Approved stall, collection at the gate

    1. Priya asks to join

      Her personal stall applies to the parents' spinney. A manager who knows her accepts it.

    2. The brownies show in the grove

      The sale listing is on her stall, and it also appears in the spinney because the stall was approved.

    3. The sale is still hers

      A parent pays Priya's stall. The spinney does not take the £3.50. It may receive a share of the platform fee.

    Saturday loaf round

    The Corner Batch · Stoke Newington Parents & Makers

    £18 a month

    Business stall the PTA already uses

    1. The bakery asks too

      The Corner Batch is a business stall. It applies separately from Priya. The organisers approve it because parents already buy there.

    2. The round shows beside the brownies

      Both listings sit in the same spinney. They are different stalls, different listing types.

    3. Staff run the bakery side

      Subscription orders stay on the business stall. The spinney does not become the seller.

  • Fundraise

    Hall roof

    PTA fund · Stoke Newington Parents & Makers

    £2,400 goal

    A fundraise listing inside the spinney

    1. The campaign is a listing

      The treasurer's stall lists the roof fundraise and submits it to the spinney.

    2. Parents see the running total

      Once it is in the grove, contributions update the total. Each gift is at least £1 and is taken at the time.

    3. The spinney is the noticeboard

      The money is for the hall. The community page is where the lot finds it, next to the brownies and the loaf round.

FAQs

Questions your lot will ask

Is a community a stall?

No. It is the grove that personal and business stalls ask to join.

Who decides which stalls get in?

The organisers. With approval on, nothing shows until an organiser says yes.

Does the community take the sale?

No. The stall receives the sale. A share of the platform fee goes to the community wallet.

What can the share be spent on?

Organisers decide what it funds: bunting, kit, a local cause.
