This checklist will get you set up and ready to start selling on Vendidit.
Getting your account set up is important for a smooth selling experience.
Here is a list of steps to complete upon signing up to Vendidit's Seller Portal:
- Navigate to Settings (found at this button
) and update your account basics.
- Business Info: Business Name, Location, Email, and Phone.
- Team: if members of your team will be managing auctions, add their profiles and set access privileges:
-
-
- Admin: global administrator with all use permissions.
- Manager: create and administer auctions, manage Team Members, and approve bidders.
- Lister: only list items on auctions to which they’re assigned.
-
-
- Storefront Design: Customize your Storefront Design with your Company logo, banner, and description, which could include your website, social media, or a call to action (like directing buyers to signing up for your newsletter). Toggle whether your business will be visible publicly on Vendidit in "all sellers".
- Review your Commerce Settings and update defaults:
- Consignment Settings: if you plan on selling on behalf of another business / individual, add their information and consignment percentage(s) here.
- Conditions Scale: choose a default grading scale (Vendidit, Mobility, General Merchandise), or create your own. You are able to change the conditions scale in individual auctions as well.
- Fulfillment Settings: choose whether your auctions will default to "Pickup Only", "Shipping Only", or "Pickup & Shipping". You are able to change fulfillment options in individual auctions as well.
- Payment Settings (must be setup before auctions take place): choose either "Stripe" or "Off Platform". It is highly recommended to set up and use Stripe as your preferred payment processor as it streamlines the payment process. If you invoice through another system (e.g. Quickbooks), provide instructions after selecting "Off Platform".
Fees are charged to the buyer upon sale:- Platform Fee: Vendidit's fee; not adjustable. This revenue is due to Vendidit.
- Default Seller's Fee: your fee; adjustable. This is revenue you keep and can be changed in individual auctions as well.
- Update your Profile name, phone number, or password if needed.
Note: If you plan on utilizing the bulk upload feature in your auctions, download and become familiar with our CSV template (found under the "+ Add Item" > "Bulk Listing" selections after you create an auction). Example of instructions and headers in the template:
