Step 1: Registering as a Seller

We have put together a short video guide for you that shows the very first steps. The process begins with creating a regular customer account, and then you can register as a seller directly from your account settings.

Watch the video below to see how it's done:

Step 2: Setting Up Your Profile (Info and Images)

Here is the second part of the video, which focuses on setting up the seller profile. In this clip, we'll show you how to fill out the "Information" and "Images" tabs using a couple of very useful tools.

Social Media Link Generator: First, we'll look at how to add a shop description and interactive social media links to it. We've created a special generator – it's an incredibly convenient tool for sellers to create buttons that open the correct application right on the customer's device (e.g., Messenger). This makes getting in touch many times easier and adds a lot of professionalism to your profile.

Next, we'll move to the "Images" tab. We'll show you how to upload a profile picture, logo, and banners. Here too, there is a convenient built-in image cropping tool. This helps you crop all uploaded images to the exact dimensions required by the platform with just a few clicks, ensuring your shop page always looks neat and professional.

Step 3: Accepting Payments (Bank Details)

Got your basic seller profile info and images in place? Great! Now it's time to set up the most important part – accepting payments.

To allow customers to pay for your products conveniently and directly to your account, you need to add your bank details to your profile. These are the exact details the buyer will see on the invoice and where they will make the transfer when they decide to purchase your product.

Our third video guide shows you step-by-step how to:

  • Navigate from your seller dashboard to the "Bank Transfer Details" page.
  • Correctly fill in the "Bank Transfer Details" (bank name, account holder, account number).
  • Save the details to activate payment acceptance.

This is a quick and essential step to ensure the entire sales process runs smoothly. See how easy it is in the video!

Step 4: Activating a Membership Plan

Have you set up your seller profile and added your bank details? Excellent! Before you can list your first product, there is one more important step: activating a membership plan.

You cannot add products to the platform without an active plan. Our system is "slot-based" – meaning you choose a plan based on how many products (how many "slots") you want to have for sale at one time. If a product is sold and you delete the listing, a slot becomes free for you to add a new product. All our plans are valid for a full year.

To get started, there is a convenient free plan that allows you to add one product and is valid for a full 365 days – an ideal way to try out the platform.

Our fourth video guide shows you step-by-step how to:

  • Navigate from your dashboard to the correct page to see all available plans.
  • Choose a plan that suits you (in the video, we show how to activate the "Free Plan").
  • Activate the plan so your seller account is fully ready for adding products.

Step 5: Adding Your First Product

Now that your seller profile is set up, bank details added, and membership plan activated, you are ready to list your first product!

This is an exciting step, and we've made it as simple as possible for you. Our fifth video guide shows the entire product adding process step-by-step, from scratch to it appearing on your shop page.

In this video, we'll show:

  • How to navigate to the "Products" page and start adding a new product.
  • Filling in the basic "Information": we'll enter the product name, descriptions, condition, quantity, category, and price.
  • Important step: How to press the "Save and stay" button. This is crucial because you can only add images to the product after saving the basic info.
  • Adding Images: We'll show how to go to the "Images" tab and use our convenient built-in image cropping tool. We recommend using it to crop images into a square – this keeps your shop page looking clean and uniform.
  • Creating Combinations: In the last part, we'll show how to add options (attributes) to the product, such as different colors and sizes.

Watch the video to see how it's all done, and list your first product for sale!
