Becoming a vendor on Hemp Mart and selling Hemp and Hemp Derived products and accessories is easier than you think! First create an account here to start selling hemp products online for cryptocurrency.
Once you have created an account / converted your account to a seller account, you will be presented with an onboarding walk through regarding your company information such as address, phone number, and other information such as socials. It’s important that you complete the onboarding process as this information is used while creating shipping labels, showing where products are being shipped from, and more vital information to have a seamless experience selling.
After you have completed the walk through onboarding process you will be directed to the Vendor Dashboard or Seller Manager page which will look like the following below.
As you can see, there are various options available for vendors selling on Hemp Mart. You have the following readily available within the sidebar menu: Orders, Products, Reviews, Customers, Followers, Support, Refund, Analytics, Reports, Payments, Ledger Book, Staff, Settings, Dynamic Rules, Shippo Settings, and of course Logout.
In addition to the sidebar menu there is also a top bar menu on the top right. This menu includes the current Notifications, Messages / Inquiries, Announcements, Guides, and your Profile.
Right away on the dashboard you will be able to see your gross sales, platform fees, how many items sold an how many total orders you have. This information is great to see how selling has been going on your store for the past month. (this information is not available to your staff by default, you can however you can enable access to any staff member).
By visiting the Settings page we can further setup our store before listing our first product. Below you will see what the settings page looks like. On here we are going to go over a few options to finish the setup process.
You will need to fill out the following information if you have not already: Store Name, Store Slug, Store Email, Store Phone, Store Logo, Store Banner (desktop), Store Banner (mobile), Store Banner (list), and Store Description. You can opt to hide any of this information on your actual store page.
Setting your Store Location, below you can see a screenshot of the following store Location settings.
On the store location page you will need to add an address within the Store Address fields, as well as adding your address within the Store Location, here you can enter your location and pick from a selection of addresses, or drag the pin to an area on the map. Note only the City, State, and Zip are shown on product listing. The address is used for packages marked as return to sender and creating labels.
Next is setting your payment and withdraw options. Below you will see what the payment options section looks like. Currently we offer two types of withdraw methods at the moment. CashApp and Cryptocurrency.
Choosing either CashApp or Cryptocurrency, note with crypto payout will be much faster than CashApp. Ether your preferred crypto for withdrawing, most people will choose USDT or USDC. Note that ETH withdraws may have a larger tx fee than on other networks like SEI. Be sure you add your wallet address for withdrawing. We recommended creating a MetaMask wallet if you do not already have one. It will be the easiest way to manage your funds securely.
Next we will be setting up our shipping services and prices. This next step is super simple and easy to complete. Below you can see what this section looks like and we will be going over it together.
All you need to do is just these 3 simple steps:
- Enable Shipping
- Select your Processing Time
- Select Shipping by Weight from the Shipping Type.
You can leave the remaining settings as is without any issues. We cover these settings in another guide that can be useful for some vendors that offer Local Pickup, offer Free Shipping, and other more advanced settings.
Next we will be going over the SEO or Search Engine Optimization options you have for boosting your store visibility online. These settings will help your store get visits when people are searching for products you sell on Google and other popular search engines. Below you can see what this section looks like.
As a vendor you have the option to target keywords in your SEO Title. For example if you are primarily selling Hemp Drinks and your store name is Julio’s you might want to add an SEO Title as “Julio’s Hemp Drinks” or something more targeted to potential online searches for your product. Additionally be sure to add a Meta Description, this is shown on the search results before someone clicks on your store. Perfect place to talk about what your products are and your services.
Don’t forget to add your keywords as well as setting your Facebook and Twitter card information. This help give you a significant boost in the rankings showcasing your social profiles. As well as having default images that are optimized for when someone shares your store on those social platforms as well.
Moving along to the ShipStation settings page, this is optional for sellers. However you do have to choose either ShipStation or Shippo for creating shipping labels and sending orders. We have found that larger companies that sell on multiple sites use services like ShipStation already to streamline their order fulfillment with employees. Here you will be able to connect your Hemp Mart orders with your ShipStation account. Select order status as Processing, to get orders in your Ship Station that have been paid and awaiting shipment.
Make sure you only export orders with the status of Processing. The Authentication Key is the Auth Keyย you set in ShipStation and allows ShipStation to communicate with your store.
Next is the Analytics Region. Below you can get a quick view of what settings are available on this page.
On this page, you have the option to view page visits within the analytics sections from specific regions such as the United States, the Entire World, or specific countries.
Next are your store Vacation Mode settings. Great for when you want to pause orders for a little while if needed. Below you can see what this page consists of.
Simply enable or disable the Vacation Mode if you are going on vacation. You can provide a custom message to those visiting your store or products within the store. You can also choose to disable purchasing of your products while your are on vacation mode as well. You can also schedule or choose to have it go instantly on vacation.
