Want to sell goods to increase income? Now the way is easier because technology is getting more sophisticated. We can sell through the marketplace, which is an online site or application that provides a place to buy and sell from various stores.

Actually, every marketplace has a similar way of working. So we don't need to be confused if we want to open a shop and sell goods. Here's a look at the technical steps for selling on Marketplace:

~ Create an account by registering through the official website or marketplace application

First, choose the marketplace that suits you. Then open it through the official website or application. Look for a button that says “Register” or “Sign Up”. Once clicked, we will be asked to enter some personal information such as name and place of residence. Usually we are also asked to include an e-mail address because the confirmation process for creating an account will be done through there. After the account is created, it means that we are already a seller in the marketplace.

~ Create a shop on the marketplace and complete the profile with the appropriate information

Having an account is not enough, we also have to create an online store to market the goods we want to sell. How to? Just click the "Start Selling" or "Open a Store" button in the marketplace. Then fill in the information about our shop. Starting from the name, brief description, logo or photo of the store, to the shop banner. The more complete the information, the more professional your shop will look.

~ Add an address and select the delivery service you want to use

For the needs of shipping goods, we need to add the store address. This information will be used by the marketplace system to calculate shipping costs from the buyer's address. Choose the shipping expedition that you want to use, you can provide several expeditions at once so that buyers can choose the cheapest or most suitable for their wishes.

~ Last but not least, add a payment account for your shop

To receive the money from the sale, we must enter a payment account. The trick is to fill out a form with information about the account, such as the name of the owner and the bank used. Usually we will also be asked for verification by entering the account password.

~ Add photos of the products you want to sell. Complete with supporting information so that potential buyers are not confused

Well, this is a very important step. Choose photos of your selling items to upload, prioritize those with clear resolution and light. You can also include several photos at once for one product to make it more complete. Then complete product photos with supporting information. For example, the size and weight of the product, the expiration date (for food), the ingredients for which it is made, the benefits that can be obtained, and so on.

~ If there is an incoming order, process it according to the provisions of the marketplace. Send the goods to the buyer's address safely

We will get a notification when a customer orders a product. Read the order carefully, then prepare the product and pack it safely. After that, send it via the selected courier service. Then we just need to wait until the goods arrive at the intended address and the buyer confirms receipt of the goods.

How, it turns out that it's easy to sell through the marketplace? No need to think too long, we can do it right now as long as we already have a product to sell.
