Vendor Onboarding & Listing Flow
A seller-side marketplace flow covering onboarding, listing creation, product detail entry, verification, and publishing readiness.
View the interactive preview →The challenge
A marketplace is only as good as its listings. The work focused on the seller side: making onboarding and listing creation feel guided, so vendors publish complete, trustworthy products instead of half-finished ones that hurt buyer confidence.
Problem
Sellers drop off when onboarding is long and listing forms are confusing. Incomplete listings and unclear approval status create friction for both vendors and the marketplace team.
Who it's for
- New sellers setting up shop
- Vendors managing listings
- Marketplace review and admin teams
- Buyers who benefit from complete listings
Approach
Break the seller journey into clear steps: profile setup, listing creation, product detail entry, verification, and a readiness check before publishing. Status is visible at every stage so sellers always know what is left.
