Details & costs
Everything you need to know before you submit your seller application: the steps, verification, commercial terms, shipping and affiliate sales.
How onboarding works
You complete the application in steps and each step is saved, so you can come back and finish it any time before you submit.
- Business details: store name, legal type and country of registration.
- Selling categories: choose every marketplace category you sell in — there is no maximum.
- Markets: request the markets you want to sell in.
- Documents, then the submission declaration, then you send the application for review.
Verification and documents
Our team reviews the application and documents before the store is approved. Files are private and are never shown to customers.
- Required before you submit: Commercial Registration.
- Required before you submit: Owner or Authorized Signatory ID.
- Optional: Trade Name, Trademark, Vocational License, Sales Tax Registration.
- Choosing a category does not approve products; every product is reviewed on its own.
Platform commercial terms
The platform commission and any fees come only from the commercial terms configured for your store (your seller plan or contract, per market). No estimated or generic rate is shown here.
- Your actual terms appear in the Seller Center once our team has configured them.
- Until they are configured, the status reads “not configured yet” instead of any number.
- Amounts are calculated on real orders using the terms in force at the time of the order.
Shipping responsibility
You choose your store’s shipping policy in the Seller Center. It is evaluated against what the customer buys from your store only.
- Shipping included: your prices already include shipping.
- Shipping not included: the shipping fee is added at checkout.
- Free shipping over a minimum: shipping becomes free once the customer’s purchases from your store reach the amount you set.
Prices and offers
You set the public selling price of each product and can add offers by entering their values only — no formulas.
- Discount: a percentage off the selling price.
- Bonus: a paid quantity and a free quantity, for example 10 + 1.
- Special price: an explicit unit price for a specific product.
Representatives and affiliate sales (optional)
You can enable affiliate sales for the products you choose. You set the representative commission, and it is paid only on orders that came through a representative.
- The minimum representative commission is 5% for a product enabled for affiliate sales.
- You set one default rate for your store and can override it per product.
- A product can be enabled only while it stays profitable after the commission, based on the costs you enter.
- Customers who buy directly, without a representative, carry no representative commission.
This page is an explanation only. The binding terms are the commercial terms configured for your store and the seller agreement.
