Fairmarket alpha testing version launched on World Fair Trade Day

Tereseta home post

Fairmarket is FairCoop’s online market, where all the products and services offered by members of this cooperative can be found. A key project in the new global economic ecosystem we want to build is being born.
It works under the concept of an “open cooperative”; that is to say, everyone can easily be a member of FairCoop. As a seller, simply by using this tool, building your e-shop  and providing your goods and services, you take part in the process and therefore you participate as a member of it. 
The first alpha testing version of the Fairmarket has been published today, as the world celebrates World Fair Trade Day https://wfto.com/events/world-fair-trade-day-2015 With Fairmarket, FairCoop is contributing to an inclusive worldwide festival of events celebrating Fair Trade as a tangible contribution to the fight against poverty and exploitation, climate change, and the economic crisis that has the greatest impact on the world’s most vulnerable populations.
This is an open testing phase, not fully operational, where we need your participation and suggestions to improve the platform and fix bugs.
So, Fairmarket is now under collective construction, and you can already join, propose ideas and get involved.
Alongside this launch, FairCoop is also presenting the first batch of Bounties. 300,000 Faircoin will be redistributed through 15 projects choosen as priorities by the FairCoop community. Read them, and if you think that you could get involved, add yourself as a candidate and become part of the process!
Fairmarket will be launched in three phases. For now, we are in the alpha phase. 
In this phase seller registration is already open and you can start setting up your shop, uploading your products and services and promoting yourself.
The next phase, the beta phase, will be when the market opens for trading, but it will still be lacking many of the features that are currently planned.
The third phase will be the fully productive one, when FairCoop will present to the postcapitalist world a fullfeatured marketplace to build the network economy that all of us deserve.
Now to begin, we need to build a strong Fairmarket community and you can get involved to make this possible.
