From application to fulfilment
A practical vendor journey, built around real Stores
OpShop.Kiwi separates the public Vendor Centre, secure Vendor Workspace and OSK Platform Operations so each person sees the right information and tools.
The process
What happens after you make contact
-
1
Application and verification
OSK reviews the seller, trading status, Store type, products and support needs, and may request reasonable evidence where in trade status or identity requires confirmation.
-
2
Vendor Organisation setup
The legal or operating organisation is matched to the appropriate OSK business record and set up with the correct primary owner.
-
3
Store creation and approval
Each Store receives its own location, profile, people, status and public settings, with existing Guide records reused where appropriate.
-
4
People and permissions
Organisation owners, area managers, Store managers, staff, volunteers and listing-support users receive access based on their actual role.
-
5
Public profile preparation
Store information, contact details, opening hours, social links, Guide visibility and public Store settings are reviewed before publication.
-
6
Product listing
Products use category-driven fields, genuine images, measurements, condition, brand controls and other information appropriate to one-off second-hand stock.
-
7
Order and fulfilment
The Store receives the order and follows the current shipping, collection and customer communication process.
-
8
Payout and reporting
Marketplace commission, approved deductions, shipping information and payout records are recorded through the OSK process.
Roles and access
Larger organisations do not need to share one login
- Organisation-wide owner and administrator access
- Area or regional management for authorised Stores
- Store manager access limited to the correct Store
- Staff and volunteer access based on assigned work
- Listing-support access without unnecessary financial visibility
- Customer accounts remain separate from vendor administration
