How To Calculate The Chairish Commission Fee?

This means you will make about $600 on your furniture with the consignor plan on Chairish.

The first and easiest thing to do is to create an account on Chairish to begin your journey as a seller. You don’t need much to create an account; a valid email address should be enough. Before listing your products, setting up your profile is better to make it more like a shop. To do that, log in to your account on Chairish and click the profile icon on the top right. From there, choose my shop, then Shop settings, and set up your shop accordingly.
After setting up your shop, you can start listing your products. To create a product listing, click on your profile icon. From there, click on the option to sell an item. That takes you to a window where you will create a product listing. Simply fill out the requirements, such as listing name, product description, photos, details, dimensions, etc. Remember that the listing process also includes pricing, shipping, and inventory information. It’s pretty straightforward to follow through.
After filling in all the information, the curators of Chairish review the listing and then approve it with some editing. The editing mostly focuses on the image and SEO of your listing. Within 3 to 5 days, the product goes into listing.
Pricing your products correctly is crucial to succeed in Chairish. You can’t get customers with absurd pricing of your product. The best way to price your product on Chairish is to follow their website’s pink book pricing guide. With some idea of pricing the product, another helpful trick to get more customers through pricing is to have a make-an-offer feature. It allows the customers to make an offer on your product, which you receive through email.
After pricing, you have to move on to the method of shipping your products. There are 5 different ways to set up your shipping method on the platform. You can choose from in-home delivery, where professional shippers process and send the products within 3 to 7 days.
If you have smaller items, you can always choose the UPS shipping method. To have a pickup system for your delivery for local sales, you can always choose the local pickup options. It reduces the shipping cost by a lot. Or you can also choose local delivery to the local customers and drop off the item. Lastly, you can set up the complete shipping process all by yourself. Chairish will have no involvement in this method of shipping.
