Product details – In this section you can start adding your product specifications

Fill in product details so that your customers can know everything about the product- like who made it, what is it and when it has been made, the category to which belongs etc. This helps the buyer to get important information and provides a clear picture about the product which gives him more confidence that he is really buying an authentic piece.

1. Selling options

As a wholesale seller, you have the option to sell either in retail or wholesale or both. You can choose whichever option you like.

2. Product variations

Specify the variations in your product like as color, size, shape etc. (if any). This will help the customers to order the exact variation of your product that they want.

3. Order specifications

Put in the number of pieces you have in stock for sale at the moment, weight of the item and both the retail and wholesale prices you have set for your product. Your wholesale prices will be visible only to the wholesale buyers with Its Handicraft.

Then fill in the minimum quantity the buyer has to order and the minimum value of the order. The more details you fill in, more will it make the selling process easier and free of hassles.

4. Retail discount

Add your retail discount (if you want to offer any)

Add quantity and price you want to set a discount. If you have 40 items but the order placed is of 110 items, even so the customer can place the order. But the delivery date will have to be different than the one specified because you need to create the 10 extra items and ship it. Both you and the buyer have to agree on an extended time frame. You can provide big discounts on such bulk orders.

Give an idea about your product by filling in product specifications like color, functions, style, shape so that customers can have a fair idea about it. Be sure to mention important keywords which would highlight the best qualities about your product.

Specify your refunds and returns policy – how many days the customers has to notify you if he wishes to return the product and the time limit within which the customer has to return the product. Knowing all these before making the purchase will help the customer to avoid later hassles.

You have to tell your customers whether you accept returns or not. It’s in your interest to offer a refund policy as it helps establish bona fide credentials. You can choose from a returns policy based on 7, 15, 30, 45 or 60 days. However to qualify for the returns policy, notification of return must be made by the buyer within 7 days of receiving the product.

8. Search boosting keywords

Add easy to notice and important keywords of your product that will help your customer to find your product quickly through the search engine.

To safeguard against the buyer cancelling the order when you are actually in the process of packaging and posting the product, you can stipulate a cut off time for cancellation notification. For example, you plan to post the package at 1pm so you can stipulate the cut off time as 1pm. You then notify the buyer that the product has been shipped and send the tracking code to the buyer. You can confirm delivery of the product via the tracking code. You do not receive the payment until a seven day refund & return period has expired which starts as soon as the product is received.

We have tried to create a transparent and flexible model which is fair to both the sellers and buyers. Therefore, we have completely eliminated the middlemen. The artisans of countries like Turkey, India, Bangladesh, Nepal etc. have huge talent but they are not getting adequate exposure and they are being cheated by the middlemen out of their deserving share. We strongly believe that artisans deserve their rightful share so that they can lead a happy and dignified life.
