Storefront Setup
Product pages, category structure and selling copy, built for your cooperative from scratch.
In collaboration with the GAP Administration
GAP Support E-Commerce Academy Programme
You make the product; together we build the storefront, the photography, the shipping and the sales. Eight free weeks later, your cooperative has its own online shop.

Frequently Asked
Is there a fee?
No. Workshops, the photo shoot and the mentoring are all covered by the GAP Administration.
We are not a cooperative — can we still apply?
Yes. Producer groups forming a cooperative and individual women entrepreneurs are welcome.
How many people can attend?
Up to two per cooperative. One steady attendee is enough, but two makes handover easier.
We already have a shop. What changes?
Your existing shop becomes the starting point; we work on copy, imagery and marketplace links.
We are not comfortable with computers.
The programme starts on the phone. The first two workshops are about listing a product from a phone.
Let the next storefront be yours.
Applications for the spring 2026 cohort are open.
