Before You Dive into Selling, How to Sign Up?

For Retailers:

The monthly subscription plan comes at a cost of Rs 5k, while sellers opting for other two plans as well; six months or yearly plan with the fee of 18k and 24k no matter how much sale you do.

For Exporters or Manufacturers:

The monthly subscription fee is 15,000 Rs. If you want to access the services or benefits offered by the organization for one month, you would need to pay 15k only. This is a recurring fee that you would pay each month as long as you want to continue your subscription. Moreover, 6-month subscription option offers a discount compared to the monthly option. It costs 48k Rs for six months. It's a one-time payment for half a year of access. The yearly subscription is the most cost-effective choice. It is priced at 54k for a full year. This option offers the best value for those who plan to use the services for an extended period.

For wholesalers and manufacturers:

The monthly subscription plan comes at a cost of 10k monthly, while sellers opting for the half yearly and yearly plan pay a fixed fee of 36k and 44,400 Rs respectively, regardless of their sales volume. If you anticipate selling more than 40 items each month, yearly option becomes a logical choice. Whichever plan you choose, rest assured that you can switch between them at any time without any concerns about making the wrong decision.

Success in Listing = Success in Launching

Adhering to recommended practices when adding listings can significantly enhance their chances of success. Simplify the process for shoppers to discover your offerings by including informative titles, clear images, and concise feature descriptions for your products. Avoid these issues that could potentially hinder your product launch:

1. Variation Challenges

For products that differ primarily in color, or size, consider listing them as variations. Ask yourself whether customers would anticipate finding these products on the same page. If not, it's better to list them separately.

1. Image Standards

Ensure that your images meet the minimum size requirement of 500 x 500 pixels (increasing to 1,000 x 1,000 pixels for high-quality listings) and are displayed against a plain white background. The product should occupy at least 80% of the image area.

1. Product Identification

Verify that you are in compliance with the guidelines for product codes. Consistency in these codes contributes to building trust in the range of products featured in the Prokistan catalog.

Once you have successfully listed your product, it becomes available to both B2C and B2B customers. This provides you with the opportunity to expand the reach of your offerings through a single account, without incurring any additional fees.
