FoodCoopShop on Ubuntu 24.04

Overview

FoodCoopShop is a user friendly open source web application that lets a food cooperative, buying group or box scheme run its ordering and distribution online. Members sign in to a shared storefront, browse a catalogue of products from many local producers, and place orders for the next delivery or pickup day, managing their own account and a cashless credit balance as they go. Administrators run the whole operation from a dedicated admin area: they add and manage producers, products and categories, configure delivery rhythms and pickup days, and handle orders, order adaptions, invoicing and member accounts, with a self service stock mode and optional barcode scanning for on site distribution.

It suits food cooperatives, community buying groups, solidarity agriculture schemes and small producer collectives that want a self hosted platform they fully control to coordinate weekly orders between their members and their producers, rather than a spreadsheet or a public service.

Common uses

• Run a food cooperative or buying group with weekly member ordering from many local producers
• Give a box scheme or solidarity agriculture collective a self hosted storefront with delivery rhythms, pickup days and account credit
• Manage producers, products, orders and invoicing for a small producer collective from one admin area
