Helpful details
A few good questions.
Want to know whether BCM FoodHub fits your business? Start here or ask us directly.
Contact supportCan I see the templates before I create an account?
No. The template gallery and previews are available inside the merchant account after signup. The public website contains product information and pricing, not example stores.
Do I need to design my own website?
No. Choose a ready-made layout, enter your store information and add your products. You do not need to use a page builder or design the pages yourself.
Will I get my own website?
Yes. BCM FoodHub is designed so each business has a separate storefront and store link, not a shared public marketplace listing.
How do customer orders work?
Customers can send guest order requests to your storefront. You review the request and quote a delivery fee when needed. Payment and seller settlement arrangements are handled separately.
Can I use a BCM address or my own domain?
A BCM FoodHub subdomain is the straightforward starting option, such as your-store.bcmfoodhub.co.za. Connecting a domain you already own also requires DNS ownership checks, host routing and a secure certificate; contact support about custom-domain setup and availability.
Can I start without paying?
Yes. Free is R0 per month for one store and up to 25 active products. Starter is R99 per month for one store and up to 100 active products. Growth is R249 per month for up to three stores, with up to 500 active products per store.
