How selling on Ticky Cart works
Five stages, start to finish. No hidden step, no commission taken off what you sell.
- 1
Apply
Same day, usuallyFill in your business name, a phone number buyers can reach you on, and your pickup location. Add a WhatsApp number if you have one — most buyers prefer it.
We review it against basic checks (a real contactable number, a real location) rather than a formal onboarding call. Most applications are approved within a few hours.
Once approved, your account gets the tt_vendor role and the Vendor section of your dashboard unlocks.
- 2
List a deal
5 minutesA deal is a product with a regular price, a discounted price, and an end date — the countdown is what buyers actually respond to, so give it one.
Add at least one photo (Standard covers up to 6 per listing, more on Pro and Elite), pick a category and set your stock count.
Bulk sellers can import an existing listing set from a storefront URL on Pro and above, instead of adding products one at a time.

A buyer sends an inquiry list
Ongoing while the deal runsTicky Cart frames this as expressing interest, not an order — nothing is charged, and the buyer can withdraw any time before you respond. We will automatically inform the seller about your interest in this item
You get the notification with the buyer's contact details. Reply the way you normally would — call, WhatsApp, or arrange pickup in person.
You have 24 hours to respond before the inquiry lapses automatically. Vendor Requests in your dashboard shows everything waiting on you, oldest first.

Close the sale yourself
Off-platformMoney changes hands directly between you and the buyer — cash, mobile money, whatever you already use. Ticky Cart never sits in the middle of the transaction and takes no commission on it.
Mark the inquiry fulfilled once it is done. Fulfilled and cancelled outcomes both feed your completion rate, which is what ranks you in the vendor directory — a fast, honest response matters more than never getting a cancellation.

Grow
Whenever you need more than one storefrontStandard covers up to 30 live deals at once — Pro and Elite lift that cap entirely.
When you want more storefronts, homepage feature slots or priority support, upgrade from the pricing page. Your existing listings and history carry over unchanged.
Common questions
Is there a free plan?
Yes — you can list up to 3 items for free while you decide. Free listings don't appear in the marketplace though; subscribing is what puts you in front of buyers.
Does Ticky Cart take a cut of my sales?
No. We charge for the subscription tier you're on, not for what you sell. Payment for the goods themselves happens directly between you and the buyer.
What happens if my subscription lapses?
Your listings come down from the marketplace — they aren't deleted, just hidden — and go straight back up the moment you renew or resubscribe.
Can I run more than one storefront?
Standard covers one. Pro and Elite raise that limit — see the pricing page for exact counts per plan.
How do I get paid?
You don't get paid through Ticky Cart — you arrange payment with each buyer directly once they inquire. We only handle the discovery and the introduction.
