Adding A Listing To Concordia Market
Concordia Market expands your presence on the web. A Concordia Market Listing tells the world about your organization or services. The listings on Concordia Market are divided into three categories, the Market, Partnerships, and Service opportunities. The Market is the distribution system for resources. It is an online shop where resources can be sold or given away. Each shop owner determines how their resources will appear in the shop. Our technology supports digital and physical products for a fixed price, a bundled price, or name your price. The shop can also be the mechanism to receive donations. The Partnerships listings are like super-charged google listings of individuals and organizations that support mission. The Partnerships listings are the primary means through which we connect with each other. Service opportunities are specialized listings of projects or project proposals that need volunteers or financial supporters. The Service opportunity listings are opportunities for people to get engaged in actual mission work. An organization or an individual may have listings in all three categories or may choose only one. The purpose of the listing is to connect you with a potential customer/supporter. While the listings could replace a website, they do to need to replace the website. To maximize the Listing, you need to provide enough information for the Concordia Market users to find you through the search bar.
As with everything on Concordia Market, the listings are free. We do not charge for any of our technologies. The financial transactions that occur through the Market or our donation platform utilize Stripe payments. Stripe payments will assess each transaction with a transaction fee and a percentage of the amount collected. Concordia Market does not receive any of the funds.
