How it works
What is a SmartOffer?
A SmartOffer is a structured offer on Cropstash. It shows clear details like product, specs, quantity, and price in a consistent format. Sellers can post in seconds, and buyers see offers in a clear, readable way.
How do buyers respond to offers?
Buyers simply select the product items they want. A message is auto-filled and sent by the seller's preferred channel: email, WhatsApp, or both. Responses are fast, direct, and always clear.
Can I update or withdraw an offer?
Yes. You can edit, update, or withdraw any offer at any time. Once changes are saved, buyers always see the latest version. This keeps your offers accurate and up to date.
Can I post produce that hasn't arrived yet?
Yes. With SmartPorts you can list produce that's in, or on the way. That means being up to date before arrival - essential in fresh produce, where timing provides whether goods move smoothly or risk sitting too long.
Practical questions
Does it cost anything to join?

Do I need to invite my suppliers?

Do I need special software to use Cropstash?
No. Cropstash works in your browser and on your phone — nothing to install, nothing complicated. You can access your workspace from any device, whenever you are.
Is Cropstash only for fruit growers?
