Local Line vs. Barn2Door: Barn2Door Alternative

Why Farms are Switching to Local Line

Your business deserves the best tools and the best support, without start up fees and complicated, manual workflows. Here’s how Local Line is different:

Your Data Belongs to You

Get full access to your customer, order, and product data, and export it at any time. Included in every subscription, no extra fees.

Start Without the Upfront Cost

Start selling without any upfront costs. We don't charge any onboarding fees and we'll migrate your Barn2Door store to Local Line for free!

Real Support, Right When You Need It

Our support center is open 12 hours a day, 365 days a year. No more waiting for email replies or paying for “priority” access.

Manage Inventory Without Headaches

Automated inventory management that makes sense for farming. No inputting inventory manually, sync in real-time across channels, and never oversell.

Fresh new features, built for your farm.

Your farm isn’t one-size-fits-all. With Local Line, your e-commerce platform doesn’t have to be either.

Make your storefront your own.

Build a storefront that feels like your brand. Choose from different product layouts, add your brand assets, fonts, and colors, and personalize the shopping experience for each sales channel and customer group.

Simplify selling across multiple sales channels.

Offer different availability, pricing, pack sizes, and subscription offers for different customers, but track inventory universally through Price Lists.

Advanced Inventory Management

Automated inventory management that makes sense. No matter what products you sell, Local Line will meet your needs. Track your inventory by package or by product across your all your sales channels and buying groups.

Sell by weight (without deposits!)

Sell your variable weight products without requiring deposits upfront. With 'Needs Approval' products, you can adjust the final weight after packing and charge your customer the accurate price, no pre-authorizations needed.

Barcode Scanning

Barcode scanning lets you quickly add products when logging orders in Local Line. Instead of manually searching for items in the system, you can scan the barcode and automatically add the product to your orders.

Find and connect with buyers and suppliers in your area.

Find the right buyers and suppliers in your region with Discover. Discover is the simplest way for local farms and food hubs to connect, collaborate, and generate more sales. Included with every plan.

Success Story

Here's Why They Switched To Local Line

Trusted by businesses around you and around the world.

"I had a subscription with Barn2Door that I wasn't that happy with. They were too expensive.

Having the team with Local Line to ask questions and help with any issues that arise has been so helpful. Knowing that the solution to my problem is just an email away is incredibly reassuring."

Katie Miller

Positively Grown LLC

"Barn2Door was just really hard on the backside to work with. The reporting was pretty much non-existent and then there were a lot of different deposits. It was also not as intuitive and straight forward.

I feel like Local Line is more intuitive for both me and the customers. It just works more easily and makes more sense on how its designed"
