Ways to start

Start where you are.

Keep the setup you trust, let us host your workspace, or bring your website and Food Ops together. Choose the home for your work.

Built around where you are

Three setups. One that fits you.

The choice is where your software lives, whether you need a full website, and how much you want to manage yourself.

Software

For an existing WordPress setup you’re comfortable managing. We’ll review compatibility with your site before you make the move.

What’s included
Food Ops software for a supported WordPress installation.
What to know
You retain responsibility for your website and hosting.
Explore Software

Hosted

For getting on with your operation while Chyve hosts the workspace. Keep your current website if you have one; add an ordering link or supported embed when useful.

What’s included
A Chyve-hosted workspace, with an optional branded ordering page.
What to know
No separate website or custom domain is needed for the ordering link.

Site + Ops

For giving your business a complete online home as well as a place to manage the work. Shape the site around your story, offerings and services.

What’s included
An editable WordPress website, templates, hosting and Food Ops.

A clear starting point

You don’t need every answer yet.

A few starting points help us understand what will fit. The application begins that conversation.

  1. What you want to keep

    Your website, hosting, domain, existing tools or familiar routines. Tell us what already works for you.

  2. What your work involves

    CSA shares, catering, local supply, ticketed events, everyday sales—or a mix. Tell us about your offerings, services and the people you serve.

  3. Where you’d welcome help

    Getting set up, moving records, building a website, marketing, or managing the day. Start with what would make the biggest difference.

Bring your operation with you

A considered next step.

Tell us about your operation. We’ll review the fit and help clarify your setup before onboarding. If you’re moving from other tools, we’ll agree what can move and the scope with you.

Good to know

Questions about your starting point.

Can I keep my website?

Yes. Use Software on your supported WordPress site, or share a Hosted ordering link from your current website. A supported embed is another Hosted option.

Explore Hosted
Is setup or website care required?

Guided self-setup has no required fee. Assisted setup, website build and care are optional. A paid Chyve website build includes assisted setup, without a second setup charge.

Does the package change where my records live?

Software uses your hosting. Hosted and Site + Ops use your Chyve-hosted installation. Account/billing, payment providers and chosen connections have separate responsibilities.
