SET UP
We have made it as simple as we could for you. Once you click ‘Sign Up’ button, you fill in a simple form that collects basic information about your business. Once you fill this in, you complete the sign up by completing a direct debit mandate for the commission on sales made.
Once we process your order, we will quickly set up your online store and you will receive login details, a password and set-up instructions. This is usually completed on the same day or next working day.
Once logged in, you can complete the setup including the importing of products and completion of your store information. Once done, you can make your site live and start trading.
