Guide for producers
How to sell your produce directly, with no middlemen and no online shop
If you farm, keep bees, grow fruit or coffee, or make something small-scale anywhere in Thailand and want to sell straight to people and businesses, this is what it takes in practice: where you appear, how an order arrives, how you get paid and how you ship.

The short answer
Trofika is an online farmers' market for Thailand. You create a store under your own name, list your products at your own price with your own photos, and buyers from anywhere in the country send you orders. You accept, agree the delivery, and get paid directly, usually by PromptPay.
You need no online shop, no subscription and no technical skills. Everything works from a phone. Trofika does not buy your products, does not store them and does not stand between you and your customer.
How it works, step by step
-
1
Sign up with your email or Google
It takes a minute. You give a store name, your province and a few words about what you grow or make.
-
2
List your first product
A title, a price per kilo, litre or piece, the quantity available and photos from your phone. If you like, set a minimum order or a lower price for large quantities.
-
3
A buyer sends an order
You see what they asked for, how much, for when and how they want to pay. You accept, decline or counter-offer on quantity or date.
-
4
You agree the delivery
Pickup from you, a courier such as Kerry or Flash, or Thailand Post. The buyer states a preference when ordering, and every order has a chat for the details.
-
5
You get paid directly
By PromptPay to your mobile or ID number, by transfer to your bank account, by card or in cash. The money never passes through Trofika.
How you get paid
You choose which payment methods you accept. Buyers only see the ones you switched on.
PromptPay
You register your mobile number or ID number. Each accepted order shows the buyer a QR code with the exact amount, plus your number to type. The money is in your account within seconds, with no fee. Your bank's own limits apply; for transfers of 50,000 baht or more the buyer's app asks for a face scan.
Bank transfer
You register your bank, account number and account name. The buyer sees them as soon as you accept the order, together with the order number as the reference.
Card
For sellers who complete Stripe's verification. The buyer pays online and the money is paid out to your bank. The card cost is carried by the buyer as a small service fee on top of your price.
Cash
For pickup from you or hand delivery.
How you ship
Shipping is your call, as at the market. Trofika gives you the buyer's details and lets you choose.
Courier
Kerry Express, Flash Express, J&T or whichever you already use. Drop the parcel at the nearest branch or book a pickup. Agree the cost with the buyer in the order chat.
Thailand Post
EMS for packaged goods to any province, and a sensible choice for rice, coffee, dried goods and honey.
Pickup or same-day
From the farm or your market stall, or Grab and Lalamove within the same city for fresh produce.
What it costs
Signing up and running a store is free. There is no subscription, no charge per listing, and you pay nothing if you do not sell.
You set the price and you receive it in full. When the buyer pays by PromptPay, transfer or cash, they pay exactly your price. When they pay by card, a small service fee is added and carried by them, not by you.
Who it is for
Anyone who grows or makes something and wants to sell it under their own name: rice farmers in Isan, fruit growers in Chanthaburi and Rayong, coffee and tea growers in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai, cacao and coconut farms in the south, beekeepers, egg farms, and small kitchens making chilli pastes, fish sauce or coconut sugar. Packaged products travel to every province. Fresh produce usually sells within your own province, by pickup or same-day delivery.

What Trofika does not do
So you know what to expect:
- It does not buy your product and does not guarantee sales. It gives you a shop window and orders; the rest is your work, as at the market.
- It does not store or transport. You ship, in the way you choose.
- It does not hold the buyer's money. You are paid directly, which is also why there is no settlement delay.
Frequently asked questions
Can I sell on Trofika from a small province or an island?
Yes. Trofika works across all of Thailand. For packaged products you ship by courier or Thailand Post. For fresh produce most producers sell within their own province by pickup or same-day delivery.
Do I need a registered company to sell?
Not to open a store and take orders. For receipts and tax the normal rules for any sale in Thailand apply, and they are your responsibility. Trofika does not issue receipts on your behalf.
Can I sell to restaurants and shops, not only to individuals?
Yes. Restaurants, cafes and small shops order the same way. You can set a lower price for large quantities and a minimum order quantity.
How do I know the buyer will pay?
With PromptPay and card the payment is made before you ship, and you see it in your bank app. With bank transfer you wait to see the money in your account, then ship. With cash you are paid on delivery. You decide which methods you accept.
Do I need a computer?
No. The store, the photos, the orders and the chat with the buyer all work from a phone.
Can I change my price or stop selling when the season is over?
Yes, whenever you like. Change the price and the available quantity, or switch a product off until the next harvest.
How do counter-offers work?
If a buyer asks for a quantity or a date that does not suit you, you propose another. They accept or decline. It is the bargaining of the market, in writing and in order.
Is there a contract or a commitment?
No. You can delete your store whenever you want.
Start with one product
You do not have to list your whole harvest on day one. One product, one good photo and your PromptPay number are enough to take your first order.
