Seller Resources
Everything you need to launch, manage, and grow your business. No jargon, no fine print.
Getting Started Checklist
Getting Started
How do I set up my store?
Go to Start Selling, create your account, complete your store profile, then connect Stripe to receive eligible earnings. Add your first product when those steps are complete.
How much does it cost?
Zero upfront. Standard marketplace listings have no monthly or listing fee. The standard marketplace commission is 8% of product subtotal. Payment processing uses the actual Stripe transaction cost and appears in your seller records.
How do I get paid?
After delivery, eligible earnings are released to your connected Stripe account once the $25 minimum is reached. Bank timing follows your Stripe payout settings.
What can I sell?
Eligible physical products and creative services that comply with our marketplace policies. Review the acceptable-use rules before listing; prohibited and regulated items are not allowed.
Product Listings
How do I create a great listing?
Use high-quality photos (at least 4 angles), write detailed descriptions with dimensions and materials, set competitive prices, and choose relevant categories and tags.
How many photos should I upload?
Use enough original photos to show the front, back, important details, scale, and condition. Clear coverage helps buyers understand the product before ordering.
Can I offer variants (size, color)?
Yes. When creating a listing, choose from approved option types such as size, color, material, or style. ITZCULTURE creates the combinations and each variation can have its own stock, SKU, and optional price.
How do I manage inventory?
Set stock quantities per variant. Enable low-stock alerts in Settings. Products automatically show 'Out of Stock' when inventory reaches zero.
Shipping & Fulfillment
Who handles shipping?
Sellers fulfill their orders. Use a supported carrier and add valid tracking from the order page so the buyer can follow delivery.
Do I need to provide tracking?
Yes, always. Orders without tracking cannot be defended against chargebacks. Tracking protects you and builds buyer confidence.
What if a package is lost?
If tracking does not show delivery, work with the carrier and the buyer on a refund or replacement. Consider carrier insurance for higher-value shipments.
Can I set processing time?
Yes. Set 1-3 days for ready-to-ship, or up to 2-3 weeks for custom/made-to-order items. Be honest — buyers see your processing time before purchasing.
Returns & Disputes
What is the return policy?
You must accept returns within 30 days for items that are unused and in original packaging. Custom items are final sale. You can offer more generous policies to attract buyers.
Who pays return shipping?
If the item is defective or not as described, you pay. If the buyer changed their mind, they pay. Clear photos and accurate descriptions prevent most returns.
What happens if a buyer disputes a charge?
You are notified and asked to provide available evidence such as tracking, product photos, and messages. Stripe determines the outcome and displays any applicable dispute fee in the connected account.
How do I avoid disputes?
Ship on time, provide tracking, respond to messages within 24 hours, describe products accurately, and photograph items thoroughly. Most disputes come from slow communication.
Marketing & Growth
How do I get more visibility?
Use accurate titles and descriptions, complete product details, respond to buyers, fulfill on time, and earn authentic reviews.
Can I run promotions?
Use the promotion options currently available in your seller dashboard. The price and terms are shown before you enable a promotion.
How do reviews work?
Eligible buyers can leave reviews after delivery. Keep responses factual and professional; never offer compensation for a positive review.
Can I share my store link?
Absolutely. Your store has a unique URL (itzculture.com/store/yourname). Share it on social media, business cards, and anywhere you promote your brand.
Fees & Financials
What do I actually pay per sale?
The standard marketplace commission is 8% of product subtotal. Payment processing costs are based on the actual Stripe transaction and appear in your statement before payout. Optional services show their terms before you accept them.
Are there promoted listing fees?
Promotions are optional. Any additional fee and duration are displayed in the seller dashboard before purchase.
Do I get tax forms?
Stripe provides applicable tax documents when an account meets current reporting requirements. Sellers remain responsible for their own tax obligations.
When will funds reach my bank?
ITZCULTURE releases eligible funds to your connected Stripe account after delivery. Stripe then follows the payout timing available for that account.
