In this guide, we will cover the step-by-step process of opening a Trendyol store and highlight critical points for sales readiness.

Who Can Open a Store on Trendyol?

To open a store on Trendyol, the seller must have a legal business entity. Generally:

• Sole proprietorships
• Limited or Joint-stock companies

Trendyol does not offer an individual (non-company) sales model. You must be a registered taxpayer to sell on the platform.

What Are the Requirements for Opening a Trendyol Store?

The following basic conditions must be met to open a store:

• A valid tax certificate
• Authority to issue invoices
• A bank account registered in the company's name
• An operational structure to manage shipping processes

These requirements are essential for Trendyol to maintain seller standards and ensure customer satisfaction.

Required Documents for Trendyol Store Opening

During the application process, the following documents are typically requested:

• Tax certificate
• Signature circulars
• Trade registry gazette (depending on company type)

Ensuring documents are complete and up-to-date will speed up the application process.

How to Open a Store on Trendyol? (Step-by-Step)

1. Create a registration via the Trendyol Seller Application Page.
2. Enter company and authorized person information.
3. Upload the required documents to the system.
4. Trendyol reviews the application.
5. Once approved, access to the seller panel is granted.

Once approved, the store is technically open. However, this is only the beginning of your sales journey.

Trendyol Commission Rates and Fees

Commission rates on Trendyol vary by product category. Sellers should also consider:

• Shipping costs
• Campaign participation terms
• Operational expenses

What Matters Most After Opening Your Store?

Many new sellers think sales will come automatically. However, key factors for performance include:

• Responses to product questions
• Response speed and quality
• Customer experience
• Store rating

Product questions, in particular, are one of the most critical touchpoints for the final purchase decision.

Why Do Product Questions Affect Sales on Trendyol?

A user asking a product question is very close to purchasing. At this stage:

• Fast and clear response → Trust
• Product-specific explanation → Ease of decision
• Consistent communication → Positive experience

Delayed or insufficient answers drive users toward alternative stores.

The Link Between Store Rating and Sales Performance

The Trendyol store rating reflects the trust users have in your brand. The experience provided through product questions directly impacts customer satisfaction, store score, and long-term sales.

Managing Product Questions at Scale

As a store grows, product counts and question volumes rise, making manual responses unsustainable. At this point, you must manage questions in a standardized and sustainable way.
