01
Read the onboarding guide
Understand marketplace pricing, seller responsibilities and the standards expected before you start listing products.
02
Prepare your first 10 products
Create your first listings using the agreed product tags, pricing structure, images and product information.
03
Submit for review
We’ll review your first 10 listings for pricing, titles, images, tags and overall marketplace compatibility.
04
Start selling
Once approved, upload the remainder of your range and begin fulfilling marketplace orders directly to customers.
Marketplace pricing
Your listed price must include delivery
Wholesale Plant Shop uses a delivered-price model. Customers will not see separate shipping charges from marketplace sellers at checkout.
Sellers cannot add separate shipping charges
The price entered on your product listing should be the final delivered price paid by the customer.
Your product price should include:
Delivery
Packaging
Handling
Courier costs
Recommended approach
Reward customers for ordering more
Because much of the delivery cost is absorbed within the first item, use variants or quantity pricing to offer stronger value on larger quantities.
1 Plant
Single quantity
£14.99
3 Plants
Better value per plant
£39.99
6 Plants
Best value
£69.99
