How neighbors buy
Use one, two, or all three — per product and per day. You choose listing mode when you add each item.
Inventory orders
Neighbors add your listing to cart and pay. You update quantity, fulfill from Orders, and restock when you run low.
Great for: packaged snacks, drinks, sauces, specialty grocery you keep on hand.
Product requests
They request a product you listed. You accept or decline, then agree pickup or delivery time in Requests.
Great for: bakes, meal prep, made-to-order items with lead time.
Go requests
Someone nearby asks for something — listed or not. If you're online, Go alerts you and you can accept from Nearby requests.
Great for: custom cravings, urgent snacks, testing demand before you list.
Each product uses inventory checkout or request & schedule. Go is optional extra demand on top.
Accept only the Go requests that fit your day.

Licenses & local rules
Yes — for many sellers — with the right category and registration. Rules depend on what you sell, how you prepare it, and where you live.
Ontario allows home-based food businesses under public-health rules (not a separate “cottage food permit”). Since 2020, low-risk, shelf-stable home-prepared foods are easier to sell.
Selling factory-packaged chips, drinks, sauces, or imported snacks in original sealed packaging is a different track — you're usually reselling, not manufacturing.
Guidance only — not legal advice. FrenzyGo does not issue food licences or inspect kitchens. Your public health unit and municipality have the final word.

FAQ
Many sellers list packaged snacks, drinks, sauces, and specialty grocery, plus homemade low-risk foods where Ontario rules allow (breads, cookies, jams, granola, and more). Read our food guidelines and confirm with your public health unit before listing.
There's no single “Ontario cottage food licence.” Home sellers register with their public health unit as a food premise. Packaged-only resellers may have a lighter path — but still need to check municipal business rules, zoning, and tax registration. See licenses & local rules above.
A product request is tied to a specific listing you created (request & schedule mode). Go is when a buyer asks for something nearby — listed or not — and opted-in sellers get an alert. You accept or decline both before committing.
Connect Stripe once. Inventory orders are paid at checkout. Product requests and Go are paid after you accept. Funds go to your bank (minus fees). We never hold your money.
No monthly fee. FrenzyGo keeps 5 % of each completed sale. Stripe charges standard card processing. You set the list price.
Product requests and Go alerts — yes, you accept or decline before it's final. Inventory orders are paid checkout — fulfill what was purchased or communicate with the buyer if something changes.
It depends on your public health unit and food type. Many Ontario sellers start with low-risk baking from home; some regions require a separate prep area. One call to your PHU before you list saves headaches. Details in our guidelines.
