FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Here are some common questions about selling on localsalt

How do fees work on localsalt?

Joining and starting a shop on localsalt is free. There are no sign-up or subscription fees. There is a 10% fee of any sale to cover the secure payment processing fee and operations costs.  

Why can SALT JAR refillery sell off-island and non-food products?

The sales generated by the SALT JAR refillery subsidize the operations cost of running localsalt and the Tuesday Food Hub. In order to keep commissions low (10% is REALLY low) and accessible to our local food producers, package-free grocery essentials are sold alongside local food to make up the margin needed to run operations. 

How do I get paid?

Direct deposit to your bank account on the first Wednesday of the month. You can also manually withdraw your funds at any point.
