New Seller Assortment
Definition of Policy
All new sellers will be limited to selling only 500 active items on PERKKART. This restriction is not permanent. Sellers will not have this restriction once the seller achieves his/her first 30 orders within 90 days.
Why do we have this restriction for new sellers?
Based on our data, we observed that most sellers start with off with better sales when they begin with a smaller number of items. With a smaller number of assortments, sellers will be able to provide better online shopping experience to their buyers (through better product descriptions, photos and even quality of the product).
Store Naming Policy
Definition of Policy
Store names are vital as it is the seller’s identity on the PERKKART platform. The store name should reflect your business’ real-world name, as used consistently on your physical storefront, website, stationery, and as known to customers. By accurately representing your business name, it helps PERKKART buyers to find your business online.
