For Open Food Network Store alternatives, test a producer's actual selling cycle rather than a generic checkout.
- Publish seasonal products with limited stock and order cutoffs.
- Let a customer choose pickup or delivery and place a test order.
- Adjust quantities, handle a substitution, and issue a refund.
- Export packing lists, customer communication, and settlement records.
- Check producer visibility, local taxes, and food-specific fulfillment needs.
A storefront that accepts payment may still fail a local food hub's packing and pickup workflow. Pilot one full order cycle.
