The end of the token sale is coming up. So, what is next? Token holders are waiting for platform’s launch and here we describe why a seller should start selling with Storiqa.

Since the marketplace will be working into full swing shoppers from all over the world receive their benefits immediately. But what are the advantages for sellers?

Global problems in eCommerce

As a rule, SME use local distribution channels (sometimes regional) and do not sell globally due to high entry barriers with which it is costly to cope. However, assume the situation if a producer decides to organize international online trade individually. He or she encounters with obstacles that distract from the production process. In order to ensure proper work of online shop it is necessary to adapt Internet campaigns according to countries’ peculiarities, provide support 24/7 and by and large organize proper work of online shop. All mentioned above requires budget and experience.

But an usual marketplace is not a solution

Work with existing marketplaces might be an appealing solution for sales increase and at first glance it may profitable but Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress have own disadvantages:

High fee of listing on the platform for sellers.

Amazon’s fee is equal to almost 20%, Ebay — 15%. The last one event do not offer fixed commission which means that selling price cannot be calculated precisely including such expenses.

Severe competition and low attention to unknown brands.

If your brand has already gained popularity there is a risk that rivals will counterfeit your goods. Even the brand power cannot solve the case. when a seller finds a similar good but at a lower price, the buying decision turns to the last option. Frequently SME sell similar goods but the brands.

Inconvenient system receiving revenue.

There are restrictions from Amazon for accounts where it is possible to transfer revenue and time lag of 2 weeks between selling and receiving money.

Solution: Storiqa

Storiqa offers all-in-all solution for SME and there is no need for sellers to bother about support services and marketing. Storiqa offers three rate plans and each of the three grants particular advantages while using the platform.
