Want your own website too?
The Branded Storefront add-on gives your shop its own domain and design, sharing the same products, stock and orders as Searchbox. It’s billed separately and needs an active paid plan.
See the storefront add-onQuestions sellers ask
Does Searchbox take a commission on my sales?
No. There’s 0% sales commission. You pay a monthly plan, plus payment provider fees if you accept card payments on your own storefront.
What happens when the free launch year ends?
You get reminders 7 days and 3 days before, and on the day. Nothing is charged automatically and there’s no discount after the free year. Your shop and records stay safe; new orders pause until you choose Basic, Growth or Pro.
Do I need a card to start?
No. Registration is free and needs no card. You only pay when you choose a plan.
Who handles delivery, payment and returns?
You handle delivery and returns, with your own terms. On the Searchbox marketplace, shoppers check out with your shop and pay cash on delivery; online card payment isn’t switched on for the marketplace. With the Branded Storefront add-on, customers on your own website will pay into your own PayHere account once that’s ready.
Why do you ask for business details?
So Searchbox can check that every seller is real, whether you sell from home or from a shop. Your details stay private and are never shown on your public shop page.
Are these prices final?
Not yet. They’re working prices for launch. Final prices will be published before any payment is taken.
Sell from home. Online.
