What do I need to do first before I can buy or sell livestock?

In order to buy or sell livestock on the platform, you will first need to submit your details associated with your livestock transfer number for approval here https://www.onfarm.co/marketplace/livestock-transfers 

Once we have confirmed these details, we will notify you by email within 24 hours.  

If you are not buying or selling through a livestock agent, you will also need to create an escrow account to receive funds as a seller or make payment as a buyer if the amount exceeds 5000 in your currency.  Escrow currently supports the following currencies: AUD, USD, CAD, EUR, GBP.

For amounts less than 5000, you will need to add a paypal account to receive these funds.  

You can access all of these settings from the main dashboard by clicking on to the Market icon and then from the dropdown list at Account Management select Livestock Transfers, Escrow Account Setup or PayPal Email.

How do I add my number associated with livestock transfers?

To buy or sell livestock, you first need to add your number associated with livestock transfers.  For example, this will be your P.I.C in Australia (Property Identification Code) or P.I.N in the United States (Property Identification Number).
