Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday! I’m very happy to be back on our normal schedule! The market will open at 7:30am tomorrow (Friday) and close at our normal time 5pm on Sunday. Pick up is on Tuesday.

Thank you for all your support. We couldn’t do this without you!
I’m looking forward to an exciting 2014!!

Dwolla- More Details

Our first week using Dwolla as a new payment option worked out pretty well but there were still a few kinks.

Below is are some detail instructions on how to deposit funds and what I need from you to make the process go smoothly. I want to make it affordable payment option for members but not a bookkeeping mess for me.

If you are paying by Dwolla make sure to leave a note in Comments Section of your order that you are paying via Dwolla. This is a flag for me to check my Dwolla account to see if you’ve made a deposit.

Dwolla charges me $0.25 per deposit. I will charge this fee back to you. If your deposit is less than $10 there is no fee. Please make sure your deposit includes the 25 cents fee. For example, if your order total is $22.50 make your deposit for $22.75.

You will see 2 confirmation emails from me- 1 confirming your deposit and 1 to charge the Dwolla fee if applicable.

*Please make your Dwolla deposit the same day you place your order.

How to pay via Dwolla:

1. Go to top of The Market page
2. Click $ inside the orange Dwolla box
3. Type in amount you want to deposit
4. Click arrow button to submit (this will take you to Dwolla’s website)
5. Sign in to Dwolla and click Check Out
You will receive a confirmation email from Dwolla that your payment has been initiated to me.

I will charge your account $0.25 once I receive the notification that you have deposited funds. For deposits under $10 there is no fee.

In addition to Dwolla, you can also pay via credit card via the market site or cash/check on pick up day.
