Consider in the article the opportunity to make money on the sale of products on the Epicenter site: from creating a website to increasing sales by automating an online store.
Epicenter is the largest offline retailer marketplace in Ukraine, which was opened in 2020. Despite the fact that it is part of the store website - epicentrk.ua, it is a separate independent structure with its own team and processes. The Epicenter marketplace platform allows sellers to get into their niche and start earning quickly.
Forecasts are favorable and in favor of creating an online store website today. Consider the option of creating a site on the platform epicentrk.ua
In order to start working with the Epicenter marketplace, you must have a registered individual entrepreneur of any form of taxation, except for group 1 of the simplified system, or TOV. Also - all the necessary documents on the economic activities of the company, giving the right to sell products and certificates of conformity of the quality of products with the current legislation.
Other requirements include:
At the initial stage of creating a store at Epicenter UA, some difficulties may arise, however, if you understand its functionality and use special software to automate the management of an online store you can perform all routine tasks in just a couple of clicks.
How to register on the platform?
Registration on the marketplace takes place in a closed format, so first you need to submit an application. To do this, go to the epicentrk.ua website and click on the “Start selling on the marketplace” button at the very bottom of the page.
Next, you will be redirected to a page with a button "Fill in the application".
After filling out the form, a marketplace specialist will contact you, who will conduct an initial consultation on the requirements for sellers and sales on the platform. Then managers check whether there are your positions for sale in already open categories or in those that will open in the near future, assess compliance with the above requirements and make a conclusion about the possibility of further cooperation. If everything is in order, you will be sent a contract.
After signing the contract, you will need to make an initial payment in the amount of UAH 1,001 to your account (the amount of the initial payment is indicated at the time of publication of the article) - the Epicenter marketplace works according to the CPS model. This means that the system deducts a commission from the seller at the time of ordering the products on the site and writes it off 14 days after the buyer receives the goods.
For each product sold on the marketplace, the system will deduct a percentage of its value from your balance. It depends on the category of products and can range from 7% to 20%. The average for most categories is 15%.
Next, you will get access to your personal account, as well as a personal manager who will help you deal with the establishment of goods, and will give all the necessary instructions for further work with the platform.
Currently, the marketplace does not offer advertising placements. But sellers have the opportunity to use special functions built into the account for promotion. For example, discounts on products or free shipping - these labels are displayed on the window and attract more customers.
“The main rule of successful promotion is a good assortment and a large number of available products,” they say in Epicenter.
Also on the marketplace there is a "Seller's Page" - this is a page with the products of a particular seller, a link to which he can send to his potential buyers to get acquainted with the full range and select the products they are interested in.
All sellers now have the opportunity to send products at a very low rate through the marketplace's logistics partner, the postal operator Ukrposhta. Thanks to this, there are more options for free delivery of products to customers.
