Understanding the Takealot advantage

For fast-moving products with a stock cover of 35 days or less, storage at distribution centres is free, making it an attractive option for efficient sellers.
The process begins with a simple application where potential sellers provide information about their business and products. After approval, which typically takes 10 business days, sellers complete their account registration with the required documentation.
The platform offers an onboarding process to familiarize sellers with their systems before products go live. Notably, sellers can choose between storing products at Takealot's warehouses or operating on a lead-time basis to minimize storage fees.
