The second step of opening a Jumia store:

Fill in your company information, such as phone number and name. Individuals need to fill in your address and ID, upload a copy of your ID, and answer based on the actual situation whether the product can be delivered to Lagos and whether you are willing to place the product in Jumia's warehouse.

If you are opening a store for a company, please select Registered Company and fill in the business registration number and legal person company name, which is the name of your company. Of course, the business registration document must also be uploaded. In addition, you must add the company's actual address in Nigeria, and the city, the state of residence is optional.

Select the product category you want to sell. Sellers who have opened stores on websites such as eBay will provide their store front URL link, check the terms, and then click Register Now.

The third step of opening a Jumia store:

Next, you need to follow the training courses provided by Jumia, which will not take too long. At the same time, Jumia will verify the information submitted by the seller within a few hours. After passing, a verification email will be sent. Click the link to verify the account and then you can list the product and activate the store.

What are the requirements?

1. The seller must be a resident of Lagos, Nigeria. This condition should be for logistics and transportation considerations;

2. It is best to register a company locally, which will have better credibility. Generally, you need to submit an application to the Nigerian Corporate Affairs Commission to register a joint stock company or a company name;

3. Open a corporate account at a bank. When Jumia sales are deducted from the platform commission, the money will be directly deposited into the seller’s corporate bank account;

4. Have an email address. Jumia platform usually informs sellers whether someone has placed an order for the product through your email address. You can use general email addresses such as Gmail and Hotmail. Gmail is recommended.

5. There must be at least 20 products on the platform. Sellers need to choose the right style when selecting products. Products that are good quality, cheap and rare will have more competitive advantages. Tips: New sellers can observe and learn the product styles of their peers, and study how to make product descriptions and price positioning to attract customers.

I have shared with you the entry conditions and related processes of the jumia platform. If you meet the entry conditions, you can enter according to the above process. However, after entering, you must understand the relevant rules and market characteristics of the platform, and then do a good job in various promotion work for the store.
