Becoming a member of the fie.nipa Cooperative entails having an external website linked with a stall on the fie.nipa Market.

The Cooperative can build your customised fully-integrated site; for fees and terms and conditions, please click here.

The Cooperative is an association of individuals and businesses who have come together for mutual benefit. Read more here.

The Market is one of the services provided to Cooperative members, allowing them to sell their products via an online marketplace. Read more here.

To participate in the fie.nipa Market, you need a fie.nipa account. There are two types of accounts to choose from:

• A personal account (if you simply want to buy from the market)
• A business account (if you also want to sell in the market).

Once you have the account, continue as follows:

1. Customise Your Account
You can customise your account at any time, for example to change the currency in which goods and services are denominated, by clicking “Administer”.

2. Browsing the Market
You can browse the entire fie.nipa market or visit a seller's particular stall by clicking “Browse Market” on fienipa.com. You can also search for a particular product through the search toolbar on the top of the page.

3.

You can do this in a many ways:

• Use the search box at the top of the page.
• Click the "Browse Market" link.
• Check the "Recent Stall Additions" information block, typically on the right hand side of the fie.nipa website.

Locate the seller's stall by simply clicking the "Browse Market" tab, and then look through the list of stalls to find the seller you are interested in. The sellers are grouped by product/service-type. Click the stall owner's website name or the stall owner's name as listed on fie.nipa. Note that if you click on the stall owner's website name, you will navigate to the stall owner's external website. On the other hand, if you click on the stall owner's name, you will remain inside the fie.nipa Market.

To add funds to your account, please sign in to your fie.nipa account. Upon signing in, you will be taken to your account overview page. Click on 'New deposit', then select the amount of money you would like to add to your account, and how you would like to transfer that money to fie.nipa. Once your deposit has been processed and verified, you will be notified via email, and you'll be ready to shop!

Log in to the fie.nipa Market, and you will find, on the top right hand side of the webpage, an information block to help you manage your funds.

The information block includes the following:

• Balance: your current balance of funds (showing pending deposits, pending withdrawals, completed deposits, completed withdrawals, total sales (if you are a seller), total withdrawals, and total purchases)
• Recent activity: your most recent activity (for the last billing cycle)
