Become A Chooice Seller

Chooice is a multi-vendor marketplace, offering a complete e-commerce solution to its sellers. As a Chooice seller, you can create a store profile, list and sell your products, and manage your customers. 

The Chooice Facebook group is the largest Facebook group in New Zealand, with over 564,000 members. As a Chooice seller, you get to post in this group and promote your products.

One of the hardest things about starting a successful online business is getting customers, our Facebook group gives you access to a targeted audience, and is responsible for a large percentage of the sales on Chooice.co.nz. This group is also what sets us apart from any other marketplace or e-commerce platform. 

With the Going Pro plan, you get Facebook pre-approval, which essentially means you can post any time of day or night, and your posts don’t have to wait for moderation. This allows you to save a lot on premium posting times if you post often (which is recommended), and you can be sure your posts go out exactly when you want them to.

It also means your posts won’t get released at the same time as others, which will help further improve your results. This makes the Going Pro plan extreme value for money. 

The Chooice Facebook group is truly unique amongst e-commerce solutions. To post to a group this targeted and large usually costs hundreds of dollars (in some cases, thousands). 

The effectiveness of posts can vary a lot depending on the time of day they go live. Our other plans allow free posting during off-peak hours, and low rates of $5/post during shoulder peak and $10/post during peak times. 

With ‘Going Pro’ you can post every day during shoulder and peak times for no extra charge, and have the benefit of your post going live instantly. 

Given that many Facebook groups much smaller than ours charge this much for a single post, and with Chooice you get unlimited posts PLUS an e-commerce store, clearly, this is insane value for money. 

(We are not sure where else you can get the infrastructure to run a business, complete with marketing costs, for less than the cost of a daily Starbucks!)

Chooice charges 5%, and Stripe charges an additional 3.15% plus $0.55 per transaction. We use Stripe split pay, which means you get your share of all payments directly to your Stripe account. (Don’t worry, if you don’t have one, an account is created as part of your Chooice onboarding process.)

No, you are free to cancel your account at any time.

The cheapest Shopify account is approximately NZ$47.50 per month, with their main account costing around $129.50 per month. However, the main problem with all these platforms is not just the cost, but the fact they don’t provide any customers either. 

With Chooice, you not only get support to help with your account and a tech team that looks after all the maintenance and servers (unlike WooCommerce or other self-hosted options), but you also enjoy the benefit of two sources of customers:

1. The marketplace. Because we have so much content, we get a lot of visitors from organic search results, as well as referrals and direct traffic from media publicity. You get to benefit from all of this at no extra cost. 
   
   
2. The Facebook group. With access to New Zealand’s largest Facebook group (over 564,000 and counting), you can promote your products to an active community who love to buy locally made products. This alone sets Chooice in a league of its own and is worth many times the monthly fee. 

Sure. If, within 3 days, you are not happy with what Chooice has to offer, just let us know and we will be happy to refund you.
