excerpted :

*Finally, there is an important milestone: the module for collective
purchases is ready*. This should help us to start organizing shared orders
between different nodes, producers and collectives involved in FairCoop.
And furthermore, it could be a useful tool for many social movements; some
existing consumer networks are organizing together to use this tool, as
part of the Red de Compras Colectivas, (Network of Collective Purchases).

To explain briefly how it works, it is very similar to a crowd-funding
campaign:
– Any producer, local node, or group of consumers can open a specific
product called collective purchases. They define characteristics like the
price of a product, the minimum amount that a customer should pay, the
total amount that should be paid, and a limited time of the offer, if
applicable.
