Discover Blairgowrie Marketplace Introduction
The Discover Blairgowrie Marketplace has been created to support our local growers, producers and businesses by offering them the ability to sell their products online through our Marketplace. You should refer to our list of sellers and conditions of sale as they will also apply to these terms and conditions of items purchased through the marketplace.
Marketplace Operation
The Marketplace will operate by opening for orders on a set date, closing for orders on a set date and a delivery/collection date will all be set prior to the market opening:
- Marketplace will 'open' for orders on a specific date
- Marketplace will close for orders on a specific date
- A delivery and collection date will be advertised for each specific market
- Customers can place orders for products as required and complete the purchase whilst the market is 'open'
- Sellers will deliver their items ordered in the morning of the delivery/collection day
- Customers will collect their orders in the afternoon of the delivery/collection day
The process will include reminder notifications, order details, delivery details and collection details to aid with the smooth running of the market.

Marketplace Operation
Marketplace will open on set days advised to you beforehand and will automatically list your products if you are an approved Seller, the product is enabled and you have items in stock.
Stock is drawn down including items in carts but not yet checked out to reduce the risk of items being out of stock. This is handled automatically by the platform.
If an order is placed that includes one of your items, the stock level is updated and you will receive a notification of the order and the items you need to supply. Payment is made via Stripe and the amount owed to you will be credited to your Stripe account by Stripe Connect. You are responsible for ensuring your own accounts and any applicable VAT etc is accounted for.
When the market closes, you will receive notification of all the items you must prepare and deliver on the delivery day. You agree to deliver these to our Blairgowrie location and distribute your items into the relevant order crates at our store. A volunteer will double check your delivery with you to confirm complete.
Upon order collection by Customers, they will be asked to sign for their order accepting it is complete and there are no issues with it.
You can then review your stock levels and update in preparation for the next market opening.
Responsibility for providing a suitable product rests with you, the Seller, and any dispute with the end customer is between you and the customer. BRDT will facilitate in passing messages on and helping where we can.
Product suitability and availability
You are responsible for the availability and quality of your products. If a product is not available you must remove it from the Marketplace and advise BRDT who can then liaise with you and the customer to either replace or refund the order. These will be dealt with manually on a case by case basis.
Refunds
When it is determined that a refund is appropriate, the refund will be taken from the Seller's account and passed to the Customer.
