Producer FAQ
- What does it cost to start?
- Opening a storefront on the free plan costs nothing. We keep a commission of 10% on your sales; paid plans add more listings, analytics and visibility.
- Which documents do I need to be verified?
- A document proving your identity (national ID or passport) and a proof of your business activity (registration, cooperative certificate or similar). Tax and bank documents can be added. We review them before your storefront goes public.
- How and when do I get paid?
- By mobile money, to the number you register in your dashboard. Payment is released after delivery is confirmed and a 7-day dispute window.
- In which currency do buyers pay?
- Prices are shown in euros. Buyers pay in West African CFA francs (FCFA) by mobile money at the fixed rate of 655.957 FCFA per euro.
- Who handles shipping?
- You ship the order within the lead time you set and add the tracking details. The buyer confirms delivery from their order page.
- What photos work best?
- Natural daylight, the whole cloth flat, a close-up of the weave or pattern, and one photo that gives a sense of scale. Show the real fabric that will be shipped.
- Can I sell several techniques?
- Yes. Link each listing to the heritage technique it belongs to; this helps buyers and search engines find it.
