What is the Shopstar Marketplace?
'Dropshipping' is the process whereby you as a Shopstar store owner can offer your products up for sale through the Shopstar Marketplace, and from which hundreds of other Shopstar store owners can sell it on your behalf at a commission fee determined by yourself.

What does it take to become a Marketplace Seller & Supplier?

To sell products on the Shopstar Marketplace, all you have to do is activate your Marketplace profile. Once you're activated:

  •  You can browse from a wide variety of products and simply add them to your store with a single click.

  • You can list your own products in the Shopstar Marketplace and make commission whenever a sale is made by another Shopstar store.

How do I activate my shop as a Marketplace Seller & Supplier?

Simple! Make sure you're logged into your Shopstar admin dashboard and follow these steps:

  1. Click on the "Marketplace" option in the side menu.

  2. Click on "Getting Started".

  3. Scroll down until you see  the block containing "I want to sell & supply".

  4. Read over the information about becoming a Marketplace Seller and click "Get Started".

You're done!
