What's New at Homegrown
You asked, we built it. Here's what we've shipped recently and what's coming next.
What We Shipped
Real features your store uses today. No vaporware.
Same-Day Pickup + Hide Your Home Address
Two big wins this week. Shoppers can now pick up the same day instead of waiting until tomorrow. And home-based vendors can hide their exact address until a buyer commits — like Airbnb. Expand May below for details.
Same-Day Pickup
Pick up your order today instead of waiting until tomorrow. As long as the vendor's pickup hours haven't passed yet, today is now an option at checkout.
Hide Your Home Address Until They Buy
A new privacy setting for home-based vendors. Set your pickup location to "Approximate" and shoppers see your neighborhood, not your street. Your exact address only shows after they buy. Like Airbnb.
Plus: When you suggest a market edit or a new market, you'll now get an automatic email confirming the change once we publish it.
Message a Vendor Before You Buy
Ask about pickup times, custom orders, ingredients, or anything else right from the storefront. Vendors reply from their dashboard.
Find What You Want, Faster
Product pages now have search, category filters, and sort by newest, price, or bestselling. No more scrolling blind.
See Who You're Buying From
Product cards now show the vendor, distance, and a "New" badge so you know what just dropped nearby.
A Real Product Page
Every product has its own page with pickup info, quantity selector, ingredients, allergens, and more from the same vendor.
Better Vendor Directory
Verified badges, product counts, and distance on every card. Search and filter once your area has enough vendors to browse.
Market Pages You'll Read
All 8,800 markets now have rich, detailed descriptions. Schedule, location, and vendors on one scrollable page.
Find Markets with Real Filters
Search by name or location, filter by Open Today / Saturday / Within 5 miles, sort by nearest or most vendors.
A Homepage That Fits Your Area
The homepage adapts to how much is happening near you — never looks empty or overwhelming.
Smarter Empty Search Results
Search turns up nothing? Get suggestions, nearby alternatives, and a way to get notified when new products drop.
$0 Fees — Both Killed
The $1 shopper service fee and the $0.50 ACH payout fee are gone. Pricing is now $10/mo plus 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. That's it.
Shopper Messages, Right in Your Dashboard
A new Messages tab. Shopper questions land here with email notifications. Reply, close the sale — no phone number to give out, no email lost in spam.
Four AI Writing Helpers
Product description generator, social post writer, customer text composer, and a pricing helper that suggests cost-plus-margin pricing. Type the basics, copy what fits.
ID Check Before Your First Payout
A 2-minute identity verification step now runs before deposit setup. Cleaner payouts, fewer holds, no surprise account freezes later.
One-Scroll Storefront
No tabs, no nested menus. Banner, about, products, reviews — all on one page. Easier to skim on a phone, faster to decide to buy.
