Seller and Product Categories Overview - How It Works

Introduction to Seller and Product Categories on Itfoxmart

At Itfoxmart, we offer a streamlined platform for sellers to list their products and services. Our platform is divided into specific seller categories and product categories to help sellers organize and classify their offerings for a smoother shopping experience for customers. Below is a breakdown of how the categories work, the seller registration process, and how SEO is handled for each category page.

1. Seller Categories Overview

Seller categories are the primary classification for sellers on Itfoxmart. They help sellers identify the type of products or services they are offering. Each seller category can have multiple sub-categories to help further organize products and services.

Example Seller Categories:

• Home Services
  • Wall Painting
  • Door Repair
• Car Services
  • Carpet Cleaning
  • Car Wash
• Grocery
  • Vegetables
  • Fruits

Steps for Seller Registration:

1. Choose a Seller Category: During registration, sellers must select a category that aligns with their business (e.g., Home Services, Car Services, Grocery).
2. Select a Subscription Plan: Sellers can choose from monthly, half-yearly, or yearly subscription plans based on their category.
3. Approval: Each seller category selection is subject to approval by Itfoxmart to ensure the category aligns with our platform’s standards.
4. Selling Type: Sellers can list their offerings as:
   • Physical Products
   • Digital Products
   • Services (e.g., wall painting, car wash)

2. Product Categories Overview

After selecting a seller category, sellers can list their products or services under the relevant product category. Product categories also follow a parent-child structure for better organization.

Example Product Categories:

• Physical Products
  • Parent Category: Groceries
    • Child Category: Vegetables
    • Child Category: Fruits
• Services
  • Parent Category: Home Services
    • Child Category: Wall Painting
    • Child Category: Door Repair

Steps for Product/Service Listing:

1. Select Product Category: Sellers choose the appropriate category (physical product or service) for their listings.
2. Add Product Details: Sellers provide detailed descriptions, pricing, images, and other necessary information about the product or service.
3. Approval: After listing, all products and services must be approved by Itfoxmart to ensure they comply with platform guidelines.

3. Sub-Categories/Child Categories

Both Seller Categories and Product Categories have a parent-child structure, where:

• Parent Categories: Broad categories (e.g., Home Services, Groceries).
• Child Categories: More specific classifications within the parent category (e.g., Wall Painting under Home Services, Vegetables under Groceries).

This structure helps keep the site organized and makes it easier for customers to find what they are looking for.

4. Seller Plans and Subscription Fees

Each seller category comes with a subscription fee structure. Sellers must choose a plan to list their products/services, which can be:

• Monthly Subscription
• Half-Yearly Subscription
• Yearly Subscription

These fees are used to maintain and promote the platform. Each plan offers various benefits based on the subscription duration.

5. Approval Process

Once a seller selects a category and lists their product/service, the approval process ensures that all listings adhere to Itfoxmart’s standards.

• Category Approval: The seller's selected category must be approved first.
• Product/Service Approval: All listed products or services are checked and approved before they appear on the website.
