How To Sell Your Products On Takealot

Takealot offers anyone in South Africa  the opportunity to sell goods on their platform.  The following is a step by step process of how you can start selling your products on takealot.

1. Register on the takealot Seller  portal

Log on to the Takealot’s seller portal and complete in your information. Provide  your details, a functional email address and so on. After that, Takealot will provide you with an online storefront where your products will be displayed.

2. List your products

List your products on your storefront. This is where you manage and supervise everything happening with your Takealot Marketplace Business. The Seller Portal shows your orders, provides tools for you to list new products and export reports so you can understand how your business is performing.

3. Set a price

For how much are you willing to sell your listed products? Well, you need to place a price on each of the products. However, it is advisable that you should set a price that you know will be affordable by your prospective customers. Do not place an amount that is higher than what they would get in an offline store so that your items can move at a fast rate. Thus, you can make enough money by selling more products.

4. Allocate the quantity of the products listed

Another important thing that you should not forget to do is to put the quantity of each of your listed products. This will help customers know the number of items that they buy in case they want to buy in large quantities.

5. Get the products available

There are two options that you can choose from once you have completed the other steps above in terms of ensuring easy access to the products. Takealot encourages that you send the items that you want to sell to their fulfilment centre so that, once a customer places an order, they can ship the product(s) without delay. Also, you can keep the items in your warehouse, and once an order is placed on it, you can send the number of units to them, but that may take more time.

When you have done everything that is required from your side, it is the responsibility of the Takealot company to deliver every item that a customer purchases on their website to him or her. But then, you should bear in mind that payout on all successful transactions is done every week.
