Overview
Step-by-step seller onboarding guide covering account setup, shop profile, verification readiness, and first listing preparation.
What you will achieve
- Set up a seller-ready account and shop profile correctly the first time.
- Know which verification and business details to prepare before listing.
- Move into offers, RFQs, and orders without missing a required seller setting.
Step-by-step
- Sign up and open the seller application or seller setup flow.
- Complete your shop profile with a clear business name, contact details, and operating information.
- Review your seller dashboard, shop profile, and financing or order settings before publishing offers.
- Prepare your first offer workflow so your catalog, price, stock, and delivery details are ready.
- Your business name, phone number, and primary contact are visible and correct.
- Your shop profile is complete enough for buyers and admin review.
- You can open Seller Dashboard, Shop, Offers, and Orders from the side navigation.
A new seller signs up on Monday, fills in the shop profile on the same day, reviews verification requirements on Tuesday, then prepares the first approved master-product offer before trying to sell. That sequence prevents the common problem of having a seller account with no ready-to-publish offer.
Seller checklist
- Shop name and support contacts are correct.
- Seller dashboard opens successfully.
- Offer creation path is accessible.
- Verification and financing readiness have been reviewed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a separate buyer account and seller account?
No. The seller workflow is attached to your marketplace account once seller setup is complete.
Should I wait for verification before preparing offers?
You should prepare the shop and product workflow early, but verification and compliance readiness should be reviewed before relying on the account for live selling.
What should I set up immediately after onboarding?
Your shop profile, delivery assumptions, offer workflow, and the order/RFQ screens your team will operate daily.
