Build your Storefront (The fun part)

Congratulations on your approval! Now it's time to set up your store to attract customers and make sales. Your Vendor Dashboard is your new command centre for everything.

Set Up Payments (Critical Step!)

This is how you get paid, so let's do it first! We partner with Stripe, a global leader in secure online payments.

In your Vendor Dashboard, click on the "Payment Setup".
You will be prompted to connect your Stripe Express account. Follow the on-screen instructions to provide your business and bank details directly to Stripe. Your information is kept secure and is never stored on our platform.

Create a Compelling Vendor Profile

Your profile is your chance to build trust and connect with customers. Go to the 'Vendor Update' section.

Add Your Logo: A professional logo makes your store look credible.
Write a Great Description: Don't just say what you sell; tell your story! Why are you passionate about your products? What makes them special?
Add Contact & Address Info: Let customers know who you are and where you are based.

Add Your Products

This is the heart of your store. High-quality listings lead to higher sales. Navigate to the 'Products' tab and click 'Add New Product'.

Name & Description: Be clear, compelling, and use keywords customers might search for.
Images: Upload high-quality, well-lit photos from multiple angles. This is the #1 factor in a customer's decision to buy.
Price, Category, and Stock: Keep these accurate.
Variations & Customization: Offer options like size, price for that particular size, quantity and personalized customization on special meals. You can set the customization as mandatory or optional.

Define Your Shipping Policies

Clear shipping rules prevent confusion and lost sales. In your dashboard, find the 'Shipping Policy' section.

Set your shipping rates, processing times (how long it takes you to pack an order), and delivery zones.

Pro-Tip:

Customers love free shipping! Consider offering it on orders over a certain amount to increase your average order value.

Set Your Business Hours

If you have specific customer service hours, you can set them in your dashboard. This lets customers know when they can expect a response from you.
