FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

e-mercado is an electronic marketplace or an online platform for buying and selling products. The term "e-mercado" combines "e-" (short for electronic) with "mercado" (which means market in Spanish and Portuguese), emphasizing the online nature of the marketplace. It provides a virtual space for connecting buyers and sellers, facilitating transactions, and enabling commerce through digital technologies.

e-mercado works by creating an online platform where sellers can list their agricultural, fishery and value-added products, and buyers can browse and make a deal or agreement electronically with the seller. It typically involves features such as product catalogs, search functions, and order management tools to streamline the buying and selling process.

e-mercado can be used by various individuals (farmers, fisher folks) and businesses (MSMEs, peoples’ organizations) including wholesalers, manufacturers, and consumers. It caters to both B2B (business-to-business) and B2C (business-to-consumer) transactions. ONLY Southern Leyteños may sell their products in this platform.

Using e-mercado offers several benefits, including expanded market reach, increased accessibility for buyers and sellers, convenience for customers, and the ability to automate certain aspects of commerce.

You will need to visit the platform's website at https://e-mercado.southernleyte.org.ph and follow the registration instructions provided. This may involve providing personal or business information and agreeing to the platform's terms and conditions.

Currently, no payment facility is integrated into the platform. However, this feature will be incorporated into e-mercado in the near future. For the meantime, payment may depend on both sellers and buyer’s agreement during their chat conversation.

e-mercado platforms typically have customer support mechanisms in place with the help of our municipal/provincial system administrators.
