Reseller guide

Six steps to
your first sale.

You don't need stock, a shop, or money up front. Just a phone and people to sell to. Here's what happens from the moment you sign up — and how long each bit takes.

At a glance

The short version.

  1. 1

    Make your account

    An email and a password. About 30 seconds.

  2. 2

    Confirm your WhatsApp number

    We text you a code. This is the number you'll sell from.

  3. 3

    Prove it's you

    One photo of an ID. Usually sorted within a day.

  4. 4

    Look around the pool

    Products from every provider, names hidden. Have a peek while you wait.

  5. 5

    Team up with a provider

    One takes you on, or you ask the ones whose products you like.

  6. 6

    Make your first sale

    Send a product to WhatsApp, agree the deal, write it down. They ship it.

Step by step

What each step actually looks like.

Step 01 · about 30 seconds

Make your account

An email and a password — that's all we ask to begin. Then you choose how you'll use Boxstory (pick I sell to my own customers) and tell us your name. Every screen saves as you go, so you can stop halfway, close the tab, and carry on later from any phone or laptop.

Step 02 · about a minute

Confirm your WhatsApp number

This is the number we send product photos to — the ones you forward on to your customers — so we make sure it really belongs to you. Type it in, we text you a 6-digit code, you type the code back. If nothing arrives, wait a moment and tap Send a new code.

Step 03 · a photo, then a short wait

Prove it's you

Choose which ID you're using, type the number, and add one clear photo or PDF of it. We keep only the last four digits, never the whole number, and only our verification team can open the file. A person checks it by hand — usually within a working day — and we email you the moment it's done. Providers send out real stock on your word, so we check once, up front, and then you're set.

Step 04 · while you wait, and after

Look around the pool

The pool is every provider's products in one place. Even before your ID clears you get a peek — a small sample, so you can see the sort of thing you'd be selling. Once you're verified the whole lot opens up: search it, filter it, see what's in stock right now. Provider names stay hidden and photos are watermarked until you're teamed up with one.

Step 05 · getting linked

Team up with a provider

Two ways in. A provider spots you and takes you on — or you find products you'd like to sell and ask to join them, with a button right there on the product. Once they say yes their full catalog opens up, with their branding, and you'll see how much you can sell before you have to pay, and what you're free to charge.

Step 06 · the whole point

Make your first sale.

Send a product's photos and video to your own WhatsApp, forward them to your customer, agree the deal. Then write the sale down here, with their name, number and address. The stock comes off straight away so nobody sells the same item twice, the provider packs it and ships it to your customer, and you settle up afterwards — several sales at once, with one photo of the payment. What's left over is yours.

Before you start

What to have ready

Your WhatsApp number

On the phone in your hand — a code comes to it.

A clear photo or scan. JPG, PNG, WebP or PDF, under 10 MB.

People to sell to

Friends, family, a WhatsApp group. That's your shop.

Ready when you are

Your first sale
