Become a seller
Let's See How It Works
Register as a seller
Follow this guide “Become a seller” which explains every step of the registration process.
The DIY Markt platform provides several types of packages for sellers: Professional sellers (creators, designers, suppliers, etc.) / Individual sellers / Designers selling their own digital patterns.
You will find the conditions for each pack in the sellers’ policy: Conditions for each type of seller
Professional sellers – creators, designers, suppliers, etc. (proof of your activity connected to the theme of the DIY Markt platform is required – social page and/or personal website with a presentation of your products, or any other proof that you are a creator, designer, supplier, or professional seller).
Individual sellers (for those who don’t provide any proof of their professional activity connected with the theme of DIY Markt platform).
Designers selling their own digital patterns (proof of your professional activity is required – social page and/or personal website with a presentation of your digital products /patterns).
Go through identity verification
To activate your store, you need to pass identification and address verification, and connect your store to the payment system.
See here How to pass vendor verification.

If you choose “Profesional Seller Pack”, you will be additionally asked to provide proof of your professional activity connected with the theme of the platform (your website and/or social page with your products). Without providing this information your store will be transferred to the “Individual Seller Pack”.
Customize your store
Your platform store is a showcase for your products. Approach with all seriousness and creativity the design of your store. Add a banner, and logo, write about yourself and your products in the Biography section, and specify the terms and conditions of your store, as well as the shipping and return policy. You can also manage the opening hours of your shop and the vacation periods.

Rules when publishing the products on the DIY Markt platform!
Language: The product descriptions, seller biography, store terms and conditions, and shipping and return policies should be written only in English. The original language of the site is English and it is automatically translated into other languages. If you are not strong in English, we advise you to use an online translator. Google translate does very good translations.
Currency: Prices should be indicated in Euros (€). If your country has a different currency, use a currency converter to calculate the cost in Euros. For buyers, the DIY Markt platform has an automatic converter for major currencies (dollar, pound sterling, yen, yuan…).
Prices: inclusive VAT
