How to start selling on Barkmall
Whether you’ve already got an established pet store, online ecommerce business, veterinary practice, pet wholesale or distribution business, a boutique shop, a great idea for a new product, or you just have a passion for selling, here’s how to take that next step with Barkmall.
Before you start
Choose a selling plan
With the Individual plan, you’ll pay HK$ 7.5 every time you sell an item. The Professional plan costs HK$ 300 per month, no matter how many items you sell. For both plans, Barkmall also collects a commission on each sale, which is a percentage of the total transaction and varies by product category.

Consider your selling strategy
Resellers can sell pet products that are best-selling in the market directly in Barkmall.
Brand owners can produce their own products or purchase their own brands for sale, providing customers with unique choices.
Many sellers usually choose both modes at the same time. You can adopt any strategy to achieve your goal. If you plan to sell your own brand on Barkmall, we have a lot of auxiliary resources and tools.

Barkmall Tips: Seller Central
The seller central is the website used by sellers to operate the Barkmall store: managing inventory, updating prices, advertising and launching promotions, communicating with customer service, monitoring sales status, contacting sales partners for support, and adding new products.
Add your products
What can you sell on Barkmall? It depends on the product, the category, and the brand.
Some categories are open to all sellers, some require a Professional seller account, some require approval to sell, and some include products that cannot be sold by third-party sellers.
The table below provides an overview of Barkmall pet product categories, but visit Seller Central Help to learn more about restrictions, and how to request approval. If you ship orders with Fulfilled By Barkmall, be sure to review the specific list of FBB product restrictions.
Product Categories
Product listing details
To sell products on Barkmall, you need to list products on the seller central (or via API). Product information includes:
- The product code (such as UPC, ISBN, or EAN) is used to specify the product you sell.
- SKU, the product code you create to track inventory.
- Provide product details, including price, product status, inventory, delivery options, etc.
- Provide product information, such as name, brand, classification, description, pictures, etc.
- Keywords and search terms to help buyers find your products.
If other sellers already provide the same product, we will match the existing product information for you (this means that some details have been set, such as the product code). If you are the first merchant to offer a product, a new product will be created.
Product detail page
Your product details will be displayed on the "Product Details Page".
If multiple sellers provide the same product at the same time, Barkmall will merge the information written by different sellers into one product detail page. Any seller that sells the product can provide the content of the detail page. If the content displayed is incorrect, you can also request the detail page to be corrected.

Attracting customers
Barkmall is an online shopping platform for pet products. We will use a lot of publicity to drive people into the platform to increase the exposure of your online store.
In order to increase store traffic and sales, successful sellers will also advertise or promote on other social platforms and platforms to attract people to their online store and increase the business volume of the online store. Each online store has an independent website for sellers to promote themselves.
