08. Merchant Criteria
Merchant Criteria |
Wish connects products to qualified consumers who are most likely to buy them. Merchants can be manufacturers, brand owners, retailers, crafters, creators, and artists. Merchants must create, manufacture, or own distribution/retail rights to the products they sell through Wish. 1) Self-Serve Wish facilitates but does not fulfill transactions between users and merchants—Wish cannot act as a retailer for the merchant. Merchants are expected to self-serve, meaning that they fulfill orders and respond to users themselves. If drop-shipping, merchants must be able to drop ship at scale. 2) Services In general, services are not allowed to be listed on Wish. There are a few exceptions noted below that are allowed as they produce a new, tangible, physical item.
Listings that do not comply with Wish's policies may be deleted from the site. Merchants with repeated instances of noncompliance may have their accounts removed, access to the Merchant Dashboard revoked, and/or transactions cancelled. Prohibited itemsEvery Wish seller is responsible for following the laws that apply to you, your shop and your items, including any shipping restrictions for your items. There are some types of items that we don't allow on Wish's platform, even if they are legal and otherwise meet Wish's selling criteria. Some things just aren't in the spirit of Wish. The following types of items may not be listed on Wish:
Please note that Wish serves an audience that may include children as young as 13 years of age. Products that may be inappropriate for children to view or buy are therefore not appropriate for Wish. We reserve the right to remove products that we determine are not within the spirit of Wish. Such products will be removed from the site, and the merchant's selling privileges may be suspended and/or terminated. Seller PoliciesPlease keep the following things in mind as you set up your merchant account with Wish and add products to the Wish platform:
Members who do not comply with Wish's policies may be subject to review, which can result in suspension of account privileges and/or termination. All listings on Wish should be clear, accurate and detailed. Accurate photos, descriptions and listing information are critical to selling on Wish. Check out the Merchant FAQ for more information on how to upload your products. Keep these policies in mind as you list and describe your products:
Listings that do not comply with Wish's policies may be removed from or suspended on Wish. Members who do not comply with Wish's policies may be subject to review, which can result in suspension of account privileges and/or termination. Merchants indicate the price of each item when uploading products onto the platform. We always try to make sure that the final price is either the target retail price or something very close to it. However, there may be a difference in the price suggested by the merchant and the price users see on Wish. We do this to optimize exposure and number of transactions. We will make sure the final checkout price is as close to the retail price as possible. ShippingFast and reliable shipping is critical to customer satisfaction. We ask that you fulfill orders in 1-5 days and ship items using a trusted package delivery company. In order to mark an order as shipped, you are required to provide a valid tracking number for the shipment. Wish will refund customers automatically if their order is not shipped within five (5) days of purchase. We will send multiple alerts to the email address you've provided before these orders are auto-refunded. Merchants are expected to provide customer service to the users who request assistance with their orders. Merchants carry out their customer service through our contact seller feature (the ticket system). Once a user places an order on Wish, they are able to contact the merchant about their order by opening a ticket. A user may contact the merchant for the following reasons:
Merchants should respond to users in a timely manner, i.e., within a few business days of the user opening a ticket or sending a message. Merchants can also contact the user about their order through the same ticket system. This allows merchants to proactively inform users about delays, shipping and tracking information, sold out products, and other details related to the order. |
