FOR SELLERS

Sign up to first order.
Four steps.

Getting on The Goods takes less time than setting up a delivery app — and you actually own the result.

1
Sign up and build your profile
Tell us your category, what you sell, your hours, and where you operate. The AI turns your answers into a polished storefront — menu, photos, payment methods — usually in minutes.
2
Configure your helpers
Add helper accounts for anyone who helps you fulfill orders. Set your routing mode: pool (any available helper claims orders) or helper-first (assigns directly). They see what they need; nothing more.
3
Your storefront goes live
The moment you're ready, your listing appears in The Goods marketplace. Buyers in your city can browse you by category, see your hours and payment methods, and reach out directly.
4
First order in, first order out
An order comes in. Your dashboard updates instantly, the customer gets an auto-confirmation, and your helper gets routed. You focus on making the thing. The system handles the rest.
THE DAY IN THE LIFE

What a real order looks like.
Start to finish.

Once you're live, here's exactly what happens from the moment a customer orders to the moment it's delivered — with zero manual work from you.

1
📲

Customer places an order

A buyer finds your storefront in the marketplace and sends an order. It lands in your dashboard immediately — no DMs to hunt, no missed messages.

2
✅

Auto-confirmation sent

The Goods instantly sends the customer a confirmation with their order details and an estimated time. You didn't type a word.

3
📋

Dashboard updates in real time

Your order queue shows the new order as active. Today's count ticks up. Earnings tracker updates. Everything you need to see is in one place.

4
🗺️

Helper gets routed automatically

Your helper receives the order details, the customer's info, and a clean route. They know exactly where to go and in what order — no back-and-forth texts needed.

5
📍

Customer gets a live update

When the helper is on the way, the customer gets an automatic status update. No one has to ask where their order is. No one has to answer.

6
🎯

Delivered and tracked

Order marked complete. Delivery confirmed. Earnings recorded. Your dashboard reflects the close. You're already moving on to the next one.

FOR BUYERS

Find, order, pay direct.
Three steps. No middleman.

Buying on The Goods is the most direct way to support local sellers — no platform fees, no markup, no corporate layer between you and the person you're ordering from.

1
Find sellers near you
Open The Goods marketplace and browse real local sellers — home chefs, private chefs, caterers, and resellers. Filter by category, see payment methods, hours, and reviews. No account required.
2
Contact the seller directly
Found someone you want to order from? Reach out and place your order straight with them. No middleman, no inflated prices, no mystery fees on the checkout page.
3
Pay however they accept
The seller tells you how they accept payment — Cash App, Zelle, Venmo, or cash. You pay them directly. Your money goes straight to the person who made your food or sold you the item.
