Informative thanks. A bit disheartening with the takealot fee structure. Technically one is working for takealot in essence. 😏

important information, was not aware

This is really helpful content !!! I do ecom in kenya and i totally relate. Are non SA citizens allowed to sell on take alot?

Absolutely ludicrous fees. For any startup, it is a killer. In addition, they might even list your supplier's products at your cost price. This is applicable if your supplier is South African-based.

Hi Andrew. Thank u for this informative video. Keep up the great work. Do u have a masterclass on dropshipping on takealot?

No as yet. Just my takealot course.

Thanks for the information Andrew, how can I get access to those documents of Takealot fees before I register on their platform?

Hi Andrew, what software would you recommend for managing stock and sales, from point importing to sales on takealot? Do you recommend IQ retail sales?

What does the subscription fee cover if it doesn't cover administrative things of the platform.

Where do one buy products from?

Sounds like a super crap way to sell stuff if you're a small business.

Hi Andrew, How are you, I want to know if the mistakes on the shipments will affect the sales.

Nice video.... so if we store on takealot do we still have to pay delivery fees? Also if takealot charge the customer delivery fees do we also have to pay?

@AndrewForte1

Yes you still have to pay delivery fees. No, the customer doesn't pay for shipping. You have to include these in your costs.

this only makes sense if the fees are contrasted with costs of doing it yourself. You will still need storage, marketing, fulfillment costs etc. As it is now it is made as if the business would not be incurring these costs if it wasnt of take a lot, misleading i think.

I faced that some months back in May, they lost my stock of about 40 products and it was a hustle to get reimbursed for that lost stock. Only got reimbursed in October and they still charged me success fees and fulfilment fees even though that stock had not been bought. I decided to take the reimbursement rather than keep fighting as I was really tired of the fight with them

Hi Andrew… do you know if there is a way to see how many views my products are getting on takeLot?

@AndrewForte1

Yup I do think you can generate some of this info manually with a CSV report.

Takealot charges way too much fees! We are forced to inflate our prices a lot just so we can make a profit. The customer suffers by paying high prices for items, and we dont benefit as those large profits don't even come to us. Takealot is the greedy middle man that is eating all the profits. In this state if economy where most south Africans are living hand to mouth, we do not need to be ripped off by large companies. I wish there were a smaller scale competitor company to takealot that charged reasonable fees. Takealot is running the monopoly and really needs a competitor! I cant wait for the launch of Amazon next year.

I hope that Amazon takes much better care of its sellers. TakeAlot needs competition

Takealot is one of the companies that complain about red tape by government and regulators. But they're also imposing red tape on small businesses through their insane costs.

Shopfy is my next option

Hey man, this video is VERY informative however I am concerned about the subscription Fee which you mentioned is R460.00, because I have went onto the site and found that it states it is R400.00. Is there some type of hidden R60.00 which is not mentioned when signing up as a seller?
