5 Favorite Barn2Door Innovations from 2021
In 2021, Barn2Door made it even easier for Farmers to grow and manage their businesses. We’re delighted to support millions of transactions across 1000’s of Farmers in all 50 states. We are constantly soliciting feedback on additional capabilities that Barn2Door can build to help Farmers succeed. We’ve highlighted 5 Barn2Door Features that have made it possible for Farmers to increase sales, access more customers, and save time in 2021.
1. Late Enrollment Subscriptions. As more than 40% of the sales through the Barn2Door platform are Subscriptions, Farmers can now offer customers the flexibility to ‘join’ a subscription even after it started. Late Enrollment enables Farmers to increase cash flow mid-season and sell additional inventory.
2. Gated Items. Farmers now have more control over which items buyers can purchase, making it easier to reward loyal customers with exclusive access to certain products. With the Gated Items Feature, Farmers can incentivize CSA or Subscription commitments with exclusive add-ons, reward purchases of big-ticket items, or create a member program, offering access to specialty products in limited quantities.

3. Pick & Pack List Updates. One of the most widely used Barn2Door tools got an upgrade this year! Farmers use Pick & Pack lists to pick or gather items ordered and pack the truck for delivery or pickup. With the upgrade, Farmers gain more control over what they want to view (or not view), print (or not print), and use packing labels, receipts, and invoices to track orders ready to be fulfilled.
4. QuickBooks Online Integration. Barn2Door integrated with QuickBooks Online, offering Farmers the best-in-class accounting solution to manage expenses, ensure books are in order, and track available cash flow. Since announcing the integration, we’ve found that Farmers who use Barn2Door to grow their operations and QuickBooks Online to manage their expenses enjoy higher margins and more resilient businesses.
5. Routific Integration. To help Farmers grow operations, access more customers, and better manage delivery routes, we built an integration with Routific! Route optimization has proven to help Farmers complete more stops, lower their cost-per-delivery by up to 40%, and save up to 35% on fuel costs! With the integration, Farmers offer customers the convenience of a delivery service while increasing their margins in the process.
