Want to become a vendor on Inlet.Shop?

Our Goals

The main goal of Inlet.Shop is to create a marketplace for businesses in the Murrells Inlet area. We want to create a place where local businesses can sell their products for as cheap as possible. Inlet.Shop is created by Inlet Sites, a local business, with the aim of assisting other local businesses.

Registration

In order to register as a vendor on Inlet.Shop, please contact us. We meet personally with every business that sells on Inlet.Shop. We do this both to get to know our vendors, and also as a way to prevent illegal/inappropriate sales on the site. This also gives us a chance to help you, as a vendor, set up everything necessary for sales and answer any questions.

How it works

Once a vendor contacts us, we will set up a time to meet. During this meeting, we will simply help you to set up everything that you need to sell on the site. For example, we use a payment system called Stripe for accepting payments. We will help your business get set up on Stripe. We can also create your account right there, with just a little information about your business.

Once your account is set up, we will then walk your through using the site and creating products to sell online so that you feel comfortable with it.

All money earned on Inlet.Shop goes directly to your Stripe account, then to you. Each month, Inlet Sites will send you a bill for our fees.

Vendor Costs

Most of the cost for selling will be due to the payment processor, Stripe. They have a fee of 2.9% plus $0.30/transaction. This amount is taken automatically when the payment is processed.

Inlet.Shop has a $25/month fee, plus 1% of sales on the site. We do not take this automatically, but will send a bill at the end of each month for the total amount owed.

So, a summary of costs:

  • $25/month
  • 3.9% of sales
  • $0.30/transaction

Vendor responsibilities

Inlet.Shop is not responsible for fulfilling any orders. It is the responsibility of the vendor to ship, or otherwise fulfill any orders placed on the site.

Some form of contact is required for vendors so that customers may contact them. In the event that customers contact Inlet Sites about non-fulfillment or other issues, we will contact the vendor to resolve the issue.
