A Few Words About

Our Team

Our team is transparent and dedicated to assisting you grow your business. We have a strong passion for helping you succeed and crush your goals.

How does it work?

Our goal is to keep the process as simple – and secure – as possible.

With Trending Dealers get your products or service in front of the public as quickly and easily as possible. We’ll use our social media presence,blog, newsletter and marketplace to boost your sales.

Here are some simple steps that will help you.

Images

The better your image, the quicker it will sell. Here are some tips:

  • All the images you want to post for your products should be 1000px by 1000px. They should be square images. If they are not square, it’s likely they will be cropped, which means they won’t look so good.
  • They should not be bigger that 200kb in size.
  • They should be jpg. You can use PNG or GIF formats if you want but the quality and size will not be as good.

Descriptions

Obviously, these must be 100% accurate (and we reserve the right to remove inaccurate descriptions.)

Here are some tips:

Price

As a dealer you will be responsible for setting prices of your products or services. we suggest evaluating the current market before setting a price.

Delivery Costs

Dealers have the liberty to offer free shipping or charge. Here is a free tip to keep in mind though. Free shipping usually results in an increase of sales.

What happens when you add a product?

Once you are approved as  dealer, your products will immediately be added to the marketplace.

Shopping Cart

Dealers – Please, only select “Variable” products if your product comes in different variations, for example: You have one T-shirt that comes in multiple different sizes (S, M, L).

When you select “Variable” product, you must choose ‘variable’ from ATTRIBUTES. (Which can be located further down the page) If the desired attribute is not there, please contact us so we can potentially add it.

FYI: “Simple” product will work best for most product types. Again, “Variable Product” is only needed for one single product that has different variables like sizes, colors, etc. We encourage you to add product attributes on both simple and variable products to improve search and filter results. On a “Simple” product attributes are optional but on a “Variable” product they are required.

    Your Name:

    The vast majority of images will upload easily and successfully.

    If you are having trouble uploading an image it is probably due to one of the following reasons:

    1.The file type is incorrect.
    You can only upload file types .jpg, .jpeg, and .png

    We recommend using JPEG when ever possible.
    You can most likely change the file type if needed by right clicking on the image and selecting:
    Quick Action > Convert Image
    Format: “JPEG”
    Image size: “Actual size” (Unless you need to change size, then choose accordingly)

    2. The files size is too large
    You can only upload files up to a maximum of 1920 pixels. Files above that size will be resized – and it may be reshaped in the process. Try to use square images as far as possible to avoid reshaping.
    The resizing will only work on images less than 2mb in size. Above that, the resizing doesn’t work and the image upload will fail.

    3. Uploading directly from an iPhone or Android

    If you are having trouble uploading from your mobile device. Always make sure you are using the correct image file type. If you are we recommend:

    First: Please check you are using the latest IOS or OS. If not update the software on your phone. Our system is constantly updating and works best from the latest operating system.

    Second: Try taking a “screenshot” of image and uploading the screenshot instead of the original image.

    If you are still having trouble on your phone you can re-try again on a laptop, desktop or tablet. No matter your device running the latest operating system will work work best. If still experiencing issues, please contact us dealersupport@trendingdealers.com

    4. Shape of the images
    The images should be square and 1000px by 1000px. If you upload other shapes or sizes the image may be resized but you risk the image being cropped and looking strange.

    Correct shape – square
    Incorrect shape – with possible cropping of the image
