Marketplace Rules & Prohibited Products
GrowMate is the app served by plantita.online.
Rules for everyone who lists, buys or sells on GrowMate. Applicable Philippine laws and regulations also apply in full.
Listing standards
- List only items you have and can hand to a GrowMate rider.
- Name the plant accurately; do not use a more valuable species name for a different plant.
- Use clear photos of the actual item or representative stock, and state the form (potted, cutting, seedling) and price per unit.
- Keep stock and prices current.
Prohibited items
- Plants, seeds or animals whose sale is illegal, including protected or endangered wild species collected without permits.
- Regulated plants without the permits the law requires. GrowMate may hold such listings for review or block them.
- Illegal drugs and plants or products intended for producing them.
- Stolen goods, counterfeit goods, and items that infringe someone else's intellectual property.
- Dangerous or unsafe products, including banned pesticides and unlabelled chemicals.
- Anything else the law prohibits from being sold online or delivered.
This list is not exhaustive. If you are unsure whether an item is allowed, ask support@plantita.online before listing it.
Marketplace conduct
- No misleading listings, bait pricing or fake discounts.
- No fake reviews, review swapping, or ratings bought or traded.
- No shill or self-buying to manipulate rankings, sales counts or rank points.
- No moving a GrowMate buyer to off-platform payment or delivery.
- No harassment of buyers, sellers or riders.
Enforcement
