Organizations
What is an organization?
An organization is a group account for shelters, farms, or professional breeders. It allows multiple team members to manage listings, share a pickup location, and sell under one org profile. Buyers can message organization listings the same way they message individual sellers.What types of organizations are supported?
Free listing eligibility for shelters is configured by the platform. For how free activations work at checkout, see Listing fees, Extend, and Renew.
How do I create an organization?
- Open Profile.
- Open the Selling tab.
- In Organizations, tap Create Organization.
- Enter the organization name and select the type.
- You become the organization Admin automatically (creator role).
Organization roles
How do I invite someone to my organization?
- Open Profile → Selling → Organizations and select your org.
- Tap Invite Member.
- Enter their email address and select a role (Manager or Staff).
- They’ll receive an email invitation to join.
- Important: The invitee must not already belong to another organization (single-org model).
Can someone be in multiple organizations?
No. The app enforces a single-organization-per-user model:- The database has a unique constraint on
organization_members.user_id. - The Clerk webhook handler actively blocks/undoes accidental multi-org memberships.
Why can’t I join a second organization?
Because of the single-org model, accepting an invitation while you’re already in an organization will be blocked (and may be auto-reverted by the webhook). Leave your current organization first, then accept the new invite.How do I change organizations?
Leave your current organization first, then accept an invitation or create a new organization.What happens when I leave an organization?
- If you are Staff/Manager, leaving removes your membership.
- If you are the Admin and there are other members, you must transfer admin responsibility (or remove other members) before leaving.
- If you are the Admin and the only member, leaving deletes the organization.
What happens when I delete an organization?
- If you’re the only member and you leave, the organization is deleted in Clerk (and will cascade-delete related rows in Supabase).
- If there are multiple members, leaving removes only your membership (org remains).
- Deletion is not reversible.
