How selling works
Last updated 26 October 2026
Open your own shop in the Mzansi mall: your own storefront, a unit in the mall directory, and orders from shoppers across South Africa.
1. Open your shop
Click Start selling, create your business account and tell us about your shop. It takes about 5 minutes.
2. Set up your storefront
In the Seller centre you can:
- upload your logo and a banner photo,
- write your shop story,
- add products with up to 8 photos each, colours, sizes and stock per size,
- create vouchers like "R50 off orders over R400".
3. Get approved
The SA Shops team reviews every new shop, usually within [X] business days. Once approved, we give you a unit number on your floor (e.g. G12) and your shop goes live.
4. Sell and ship
- A shopper orders and pays by EFT. You get an email for every new order.
- When the payment is confirmed, the order shows Paid โ preparing in your Seller centre.
- Pack it, send it with your courier, and enter the tracking number. The customer is emailed the tracking number automatically.
- Mark it Delivered when it arrives.
5. Get paid
Payouts for delivered orders are made to the bank account in your shop settings, less the commission on Seller fees.
