Hi Romero. This is incredibly informative. We help Takealot sellers to afford more stock but a lot of people end up at our doorstep wanting to sell on Takealot but have no clue where to begin. We'll definitely send them this way.
@@RetailRockIT thank you! That sounds really interesting. Could you share more of what you do? Really appreciate it. Have some more tutorials on the channel and more on its way!
@@Romero_Meyer Thanks Romero. Is it o.k if we share more details about what we do here? I've shared your channel with our sales team too. They'll direct anyone thats not sure this way.
Hi Romero, thank you so much for your brilliant content! I would just like to ask what type of photos should you upload? I see in this video you uploaded pictures of your product with the standard white backround. Is that a must to do? We also don't have a good quality camera. Basically, in short, what are the photo requirements?
Hi, I am registered and excepted. I am uplaoding my final step, banking details. Do they monitor what products you upload? I am doing the products that I signed up, but I want to do other products in future as well? Will they penalise or stop me?
@@weirdandwonderfulcapeadven8100 awesome to hear. Well done. No, not at all. You can apply to sell anything, even if it’s different to what you originally applied for.
Hi Romero I would like to ask about the 45 up labels and the 6 up labels are the 6 up labels meant for only product labels and the 45 up for the barcodes?
I would definitely recommend to start on the side for several reasons: 1. No pressure. If you’re relying on it as your main income stream, you might feel pressured and make some silly moves costing you money and frustration. 2. Can start small. Similar to above. But it means you can test small quantities of units and just get used to the system and flow of everything. 3. You can do it properly. But learning slow and steady you can form good habits, take more time to source quality items and overall add some money to assist your salary.
@ my main plan is to sell hand crafted products that is cheap quick and easy to make Ive check the trends and seems these products do sell and ive seen is also seasonal As I have the means to do this while I work full time Do you have opinion on this idea maybe
It’s unique and well worth a try! Most people are just going for the generic cheap Chinese goods and competing for the lowest price. You can really push that they’re local, hand made, and share the brand story, etc.
@@chavonnerichards2996 not necessarily. You can sell on Lead-Time too. If you do send stock to each, they have to be balanced according to Takealot’s requirements. It used to be 70% Jhb and 30% Cpt. Need to find out what it is currently. But it’s one sucky part because sometimes that’s not the ratio your products are selling in.
@@charlesmuller667 yes, you can sell as many or as little products as you’d like. Just try make sure it generates enough sales to cover the monthly fees (400-500) and that you have a decent margin on it for takealot success fees, etc. 🙌🏾
@@mpumelelokhoza5706 hey there. Unfortunately it is not. You either have to have stock, or you can sell on lead-time (when you hold stock and once an order is made you then send to takealot. And takealot sends to customer). But you only have 3 days to get it to TAL wharehouse from when a leadtime order is placed.
@@rajivdevi3440 yes you are. But just be sure to check for the items you’re thinking of on Takealot first as competition is high from Temu and sellers are selling it for too cheap on Takealot to compete, which is not a good thing for you. So just do product research and note that as of last week, no tech products can be sold without a certification sticker.
@@immaculatemoswathupa8309 If your products were accepted, you should see them under ‘manage my offers’ Then click on the replenish stock tab at the top. 😃
@@lulunene2274 yes. The courier you choose will charge you differently as one would be further away than the other. Courier Guy gives discounts to shipments going to Takealot.
@@AndileGabuza-g5m usually it’s because your product offers are not unique enough or already saturated on Takealot already. The other reason may be the way you presented it, as in if you showed them a brochure and pictures, etc.
@@AndileGabuza-g5m amazing. Spend some time and do research first to make sure they’re not on takealot (oversaturated) and you can make a brochure on Canva.com with a free template. Put in prices etc.
@@tjuanaspringveldt8337 I’ve seen some suppliers sell refurbished Apple products, however I’m sure they need to be fully certified. Even if they were new, you need to show takealot you have the rights to sell them.
@@mozie.-3123 yes! They opened the Dbn DC shortly after this video was made and are still slowly opening it up to certain categories for stock to be sent. 😊
@@IresonYrn not through either of those platforms. But there are some great third party softwares that allow you to do that, and manage all sales in real time through your Shopify store. You’ll still have to send stock to TAL as usual but all date with be in one place.
Hi Romero. Thank you for content. I did exactly what you said and received email from takealot and they accepted my registration and gave me a link to access the sellers portal. Now I'm lost where too from here. Please assist🙏

Great video. Thank you. I really want to start selling on Takealot. This was very informative.
@@MissF..--..2024 glad it helped. Spend time finding something unique to sell to avoid being rejected and also to have a good chance. 😊

@@mariamaleshoanemotlalile1360 thank you!
hi man greate insights still waiting for that video on how to source product on local suppliers🔥🔥
very insightful, thanks, i somehow thought there is no subscription fee, and that they come to you for collections
@@Nhla-ts6mf unfortunately not. But at least it’s only R400 monthly.
Thanks mate!
Hi. Thank you so much for this.
Q: Can we sell a homemade product with my company logo…?
@@sinenhlanhlamkhize8697 in most cases, yes. Can just depend on the item and consistency item to item. 🙌🏾
@@sinenhlanhlamkhize8697 what product is it?
Hi Romero. Thanks again for the content. Have you had any experience with Awareness ads? Seems like these is very little information out there. Thanks
@@TigerMonster-b5s hey. Do you mean the ads you can push on takealot for your products?

Hey thanks for the informative videos but can you also create Amazon South Africa content?
@@chaoticoptimal2129 I do plan to make a few videos on Amazon too over the next 4-6 weeks. 🙌🏾
@@chaoticoptimal2129 are you currently selling on Amazon?
@@Romero_Meyer That would be really helpful thanks.

I heard Amazon has a monthly subscription fee of R1 is that true
I love your content ❤️

Hi Romero I would like to ask about the 45 up labels and the 6 up labels are the 6 up labels meant for only product labels and the 45 up for the barcodes?
@@lulunene2274 45 up for product labels (that has a barcode on it).
6 up are for shipping labels from Takealot (1 per box of products being shipped)
I’m looking on selling on takealot
Can you do it as a sideline or does it take up so much time that you must only focus on that
I would definitely recommend to start on the side for several reasons:
1. No pressure. If you’re relying on it as your main income stream, you might feel pressured and make some silly moves costing you money and frustration.
2. Can start small. Similar to above. But it means you can test small quantities of units and just get used to the system and flow of everything.

@ my main plan is to sell hand crafted products that is cheap quick and easy to make
Ive check the trends and seems these products do sell and ive seen is also seasonal
As I have the means to do this while I work full time
Do you have opinion on this idea maybe

@ I’ll definitely be trying this I’m sure if I try I might find that gap you talked about in another video
Thanks for your advice on everything
Hey 🎉 do we need to have stock for each DC so 5 for each ? Eg CPT, JHB and Durban?
@@chavonnerichards2996 not necessarily. You can sell on Lead-Time too.
If you do send stock to each, they have to be balanced according to Takealot’s requirements. It used to be 70% Jhb and 30% Cpt.
Need to find out what it is currently.
But it’s one sucky part because sometimes that’s not the ratio your products are selling in.
Hi Romero, do you assist newbies to load catalogue? If you do please assist
@@Cynthia-wy2xl what exactly are you needing help with? 😊 I’d be happy to chat.
Good day. I only have 1 product that i want to sell on takealot. Can i do it?
@@charlesmuller667 yes, you can sell as many or as little products as you’d like. Just try make sure it generates enough sales to cover the monthly fees (400-500) and that you have a decent margin on it for takealot success fees, etc. 🙌🏾
Yes
hey man.. just wondering is it possible for you to do all of this with your phone?
@@healiansmusic3693 it is technically possible. But it drives me crazy. I personally need to bigger screen to do it and to store all the files.
is it possible to do dropshiping in takealot

@@immaculatemoswathupa8309
If your products were accepted, you should see them under ‘manage my offers’
Then click on the replenish stock tab at the top. 😃
@@Romero_Meyer thank you 🙏 maybe it’s still under Review
@@immaculatemoswathupa8309 then go to ‘add to takealot catalogue’ and you’ll see the status of your product request. 😀
Also do I have to pay different shipping for cpt and jhb or will it be a single fee?

On business registration number ,when I put my registration number it says input must be at most 19 characters long,pls help
@@Ashley_Phasha yes. It just needs to be in the format as seen on your CIPC document with the ‘/‘ format.
@@Romero_Meyer But I did it they way it's written in my CIPC 😭😭
Takealot keeps rejecting my application, what could be the reason?
@@AndileGabuza-g5m usually it’s because your product offers are not unique enough or already saturated on Takealot already.
The other reason may be the way you presented it, as in if you showed them a brochure and pictures, etc.
Thank you so much for your response. I'll try apply again with different products
@@AndileGabuza-g5m amazing. Spend some time and do research first to make sure they’re not on takealot (oversaturated) and you can make a brochure on Canva.com with a free template. Put in prices etc.
