How to become a seller on IVOTIA

Learn the actual IVOTIA seller onboarding flow for product sellers and service providers, including the start-selling modal, required setup fields, and where you land after approval.

Choose the selling path that matches what you offer

IVOTIA supports two seller paths: product selling and service selling. Product sellers create a vendor profile and storefront, while service providers create a freelancer profile for listing services.

The public Become a Seller page introduces these paths, but the current user-facing onboarding starts through the unified Start Selling flow and then sends you into the correct setup path.

Open the Start Selling flow

From the main site, buyers can open the Start Selling flow from the navbar or seller entry points. If you already have an active seller profile for one side, IVOTIA will let you jump straight to creating a new listing for that side instead of repeating onboarding.

If you are an admin account, IVOTIA blocks seller onboarding and requires you to use a separate non-admin account for selling.

If you want to sell products

The vendor path asks for your store details first. At minimum, you need a store name, a unique store slug, a business city, and a two-letter business country code.

The store slug must be 3 to 60 characters long and can only use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens. IVOTIA checks slug availability before you can continue.

The onboarding flow can also use your detected location to prefill address details. Optional return and shipping policy fields can be added during onboarding or skipped and completed later from your vendor profile.

If you want to provide services

The freelancer path asks for a professional title and at least one skill. The professional title must be at least 3 characters long.

You can also add an optional tagline. Each skill includes a name and a proficiency level, and IVOTIA requires at least one skill before the freelancer onboarding can be submitted.

What IVOTIA creates after onboarding

When onboarding succeeds, IVOTIA creates an approved seller application, an active seller profile, and the matching detailed profile for your chosen path.

For product sellers, IVOTIA creates a vendor profile and storefront. For service providers, IVOTIA creates a freelancer profile and stores the submitted skills. The process is auto-approved in the current onboarding flow instead of waiting for a manual review step.

Where you go next

After a successful product-seller onboarding, IVOTIA redirects you to create a product listing. After a successful service-provider onboarding, IVOTIA redirects you to create a service listing.

This means seller onboarding does not end with a static confirmation page. It continues directly into the first-listing flow so you can publish something immediately.

What you can update later

You can refine your seller setup later from your account area. Product sellers can update their vendor profile with store description, store logo, banner, support contact details, social links, policies, and store address.

Service sellers can also continue building their freelancer presence later by improving profile details and publishing service listings.

Important things to know

You do not need separate buyer and seller accounts on IVOTIA. The same account can start as a buyer and later add seller capabilities.

If you only need one selling path now, start with that path first. You can add the other seller type later instead of trying to complete both at the same time.
