State-Specific Marketplace & Marketing
Each marketplace is customized for individual states with state-approved inventory, managing vendor and inventory onboarding directly at the SKU level, and continuously adding new offerings. We prioritize local vendors, manage processing, returns, and household cart checkouts for multiple children. Additionally, we partner with state and local organizations for marketing, providing toolkits for schools and sending constant reminders to increase program usage and spending.
