The answer depends on your intent.

Do you wish to be a shopper, a vendor or both?

The best way to “test the waters” so to speak, is to create an account and make several transactions with one of the Demo Stores to see how the system works. The Curacao Demo Store is HERE, the Aruba Demo Store is HERE and the Bonaire Demo Store is HERE.

Of course since it is a demo store with demo products there are no commitments whatsoever involved. However, it will give you a real feel for DushiMart.

If you are interested in registering as a vendor, the best place to start is to go through the Help/FAQ’s to get an idea how the system works.

After you feel comfortable that DushiMart is for you, go ahead and open a vendor account with a membership plan that fits your needs.

Each membership plan comes with the first 30 days free of charge so you have the time to set up your store and learn to work with the system.

If you wish to have assistance in setting up your store or a contract to help you manage your store, contact us.

Virtual Product

Defining and configuring a virtual product is a simple and straightforward process. You don’t have to bother about details such as product dimensions and weight, which are generally part of any other product settings. eg: You list a service as a product in your store.

To make a product virtual, you can select the checkbox for it, while creating the product.

Downloadable Product

Similar to virtual products, downloadable products also don’t require shipping. They are available as a downloadable file with a specified path or URL. In most cases, there will be a limit on the number of downloads of such products.

Ironically, DushiMart allows setting shipping options for downloadable products. This is in fact to include the scenario where you want to send a packaged version (like a CD) of the product to the customer. If your product is only downloadable and has no physical version, you can mark it as a virtual product.

Linked Products are products that can be related to each other in three ways: Up-Sells, Cross-Sells or by having the same tags or categories.

Up-sells are products that are recommended instead of the currently viewed product. These alternative items are usually suggestions to ‘upgrade’ current choice either in quality or price. This is a great way to get your customers to think about a similar product, same brand, that has more features, added options, and of course, is more expensive.Thereby those suggestions are intended to persuade the customer to choose the better option.

Cross-sells are complementary items that a shopper may want to buy additionally to the product s/he is currently interested in. For example, if you are selling a phone, cross-sells might be the following: a case, charger, adapter or any other accessory.

To add an Up-sell (1) or Cross-sell (2) to a product:

  1. Go to the Store Dashboard > Products and select the product on which you’d like to show an up-sell or cross-sell.
  2. Scroll down to the Product Data panel.
  3. Select the Linked Products tab in the left menu.
  4. Add the product you wish to link to by searching for it.

If manage product is set to “No“, the quantity is not tracked and you manually set the product as “In Stock” or “Out of Stock”. This is the easiest setting because it does not require active management of the product quantity.

If manage product is set to “Yes“, the vendor must decide to allow back-orders or not when the quantity is zero. Options are “Allow”, “Do not Allow” or “Allow, but notify customer”.

For managed products, the stock Quantity can be set.

To add a variable product, go to Products> Add New and select Variable Product from the drop-down.

Variations will appear in the product data panel.

Virtual Product

Defining and configuring a virtual product is a simple and straightforward process. You don’t have to bother about details such as product dimensions and weight, which are generally part of any other product settings. eg: You list a service as a product in your store.

To make a product virtual, you can select the checkbox for it, while creating the product.

Downloadable Product

Similar to virtual products, downloadable products also don’t require shipping. They are available as a downloadable file with a specified path or URL. In most cases, there will be a limit on the number of downloads of such products.

Ironically, DushiMart allows setting shipping options for downloadable products. This is in fact to include the scenario where you want to send a packaged version (like a CD) of the product to the customer. If your product is only downloadable and has no physical version, you can mark it as a virtual product.

Linked Products are products that can be related to each other in three ways: Up-Sells, Cross-Sells or by having the same tags or categories.

Up-sells are products that are recommended instead of the currently viewed product. These alternative items are usually suggestions to ‘upgrade’ current choice either in quality or price. This is a great way to get your customers to think about a similar product, same brand, that has more features, added options, and of course, is more expensive.Thereby those suggestions are intended to persuade the customer to choose the better option.

Cross-sells are complementary items that a shopper may want to buy additionally to the product s/he is currently interested in. For example, if you are selling a phone, cross-sells might be the following: a case, charger, adapter or any other accessory.

To add an Up-sell (1) or Cross-sell (2) to a product:

  1. Go to the Store Dashboard > Products and select the product on which you’d like to show an up-sell or cross-sell.
  2. Scroll down to the Product Data panel.
  3. Select the Linked Products tab in the left menu.
  4. Add the product you wish to link to by searching for it.

Withdrawals are use to allocate proceeds from sales to vendors.

While marketplaces like DushiMart are typically designed to receive proceeds from sales transactions on behalf of vendors, DushiMart is an exception in that it is designed to allow direct payments between the customer and the vendor.

In such cases, the administration of Withdrawals are automated. When an order is marked “Completed”, 100% of the amount of the transaction, including sales tax is automatically allocated to the vendor.

However, in cases where DushiMart has an agreement with the vendor to manage his/her store for an agreed upon commission, the Withdrawal amount will be equal to the total of the transaction minus the commission the vendor must pay DushiMart.

For example if the agreement is for 10% commission be allocated to DushiMart for the management of the vendor’s store and the sale was ANG. 100,-, then the commission will be ANG 10,- and the Withdrawal ANG. 90,-

Vendors administer this process via their Store Manager.

Go to the Store Manager, click on Payments.
