For Sellers

Open-Kart.com offers a world-class platform for the sellers to take their products to the world. Through Open-Kart.com, sellers can get all the services they need to sell their products online in one place, such as payment gateways, shipping (both locally and internationally), and settlements, without having to go through the hassle of obtaining all these individually.

Marketplace
Open-Kart.com marketplace is based on a class-leading platform which is intuitive and easy-to-understand. Sellers can intuitively upload products, setup details of their account, billing and invoicing, and start selling to a worldwide market. In case you need any help at any step, we have a service account manager to help you find your way around the platform and the seller dashboard. We also offer Fully Managed Plans for those sellers who want to focus entirely on production and offline sales, rather than the E-Commerce side. We fully manage those accounts online at minimal charges, making sure that you can focus entirely on producing and moving your products. To know more about the Fully Managed Plans, click here.

Payment Gateways
Any marketplace cannot function without a solid Payment Gateway Interface, and we offer multiple payment gateways to our sellers to enable them to collect payments from around the globe. We’ve partnered with world-class payment gateways such as CCAvenue, Razorpay and PayPal, making sure that you don’t have to worry about paperwork needed to process online payments. We’ve also partnered with industry-leading logistics partners to efficiently and smoothly handle CoD orders and settlement.

We’ve partnered with most of the leading logistics companies in India such as FedEx, BlueDart, E-Kart, and XpressBees for both surface and air options to give you the best shipping rates to move your products. Your products will be picked up from your warehouse/shop and delivered directly to your customer.
