After about over a year developing the concept and the open source group buying platform Crowdtainer, as well as setting up the E-commerce site (Barterfly), we are now making the final adjustments to our legal terms, accounting and order system, to make sure everything is correct and according to the EU laws.
Next steps includes testing everything end-to-end with simple products, then fulfilling orders through group buying campaigns. Once we’re confident with the legal side, Crowdtainer will be open sourced, hopefully timed with a campaign live so that people can try the project on the same day of learning about it.
Very exciting times, stay tuned!
Cheers!
