5 Reasons Why You Should Be Selling on Vodus

For businesses looking for more opportunities to sell their products online, a wide variety of options are available to you. While in the past businesses often focused on selling through their own website, factors such as high set-up and maintenance costs have led to more businesses choosing to sell on shopping platforms. 

 In this article, we look closer at the key benefits of selling your products on Vodus and how these can assist your business.

Low Costs

Initial set-up costs are often a key factor in delaying the decision of business owners to start selling online. Since the emergence of popular online shopping platforms such as Vodus, businesses in Malaysia no longer need investment to get started selling online. 

With Free Registration and Zero setup costs, Vodus Merchant Sellers are able to list their business and products for free.

A low transaction fee of 3.00% is charged on each transaction through the Vodus shopping platform. This means as a merchant seller you only pay a transaction fee on products which are sold on Vodus.

As well as zero registration and monthly costs, Vodus also has a zero-term commitment. This means there are no obligations for you as a merchant to achieve a minimum number of sales or revenue. This makes the Vodus shopping platform ideal for new businesses and startups with a limited budget for launching their products into the market.

Fast & Easy to Set up Maintain

Registering as a Vodus Merchant seller is fast and simple thanks to our streamlined registration forms and easy-to-navigate Merchant dashboard. The registration process itself takes an average of 15 minutes and each registration is reviewed and approved the same day.
