How it works

Registering To Trade

First you need to register your interest to trade with indi. Luckily, creating your account with us is easy! When you register your interest you can choose from two packages of which the details can be found here.

Once you have chosen your package and filled out your details, we will review it and approve your account. Once your account set up has been completed, you can begin to upload your products through our custom Helpdesk.

 

Uploading Products

To upload your products you need to head over to the indi Help Desk, which you access by logging into your indi account. From here you will need to choose the 'Product Upload' button from the menu.

You will then be prompted to fill out the details for each product you wish to upload, including the option to add photos to a private folder. To ensure customers have clarity on products and maximum compatibility with Google SEO, please provide as much descriptive detail as possible.

Your products will be reviewed by our team before going live on indi. This can take up to 10 working days. We will notify you once your products are live.

Customers will be able to find your products by searching for your business or by categories, as well as filtering products by location. Please ensure you choose the correct categories and have the accurate location submitted.

Sales & Fulfilment

When a sale is processed from your indi store, you will be notified via your Helpdesk, so please make sure you check your emails from us!

You will receive all order details, however, if there is anything missing or you are unable to fulfil the order please contact the indi team via your Helpdesk within 24 hours, so we can resolve this with the customer. 

From here you will also be able to mark the order as fulfilled, which alerts us that you have processed the order and it is with your chosen courier on its way to its new home! 

Getting Paid

You will be paid once a month via bank transfer with our commission deducted from the total earned in that period.

We do not charge any transaction fees or processing fees.

If you are signed up to our indi pro package, the £5 monthly fee will be taken as a recurring payment, due on the date you enrolled.
