Yes — and we mean it permanently, not as a launch concession. There is no exclusivity on 101. Keep your own website, your own social selling, and any other marketplace you're on. You pay us nothing on any of those sales.

Independent brands that make their pieces in Egypt and sell from Egypt. A person reads every application, and you'll hear back from us either way.

We set it up with you. From then on, your products, prices, photos and stock come across from Shopify and stay up to date on 101, and orders placed on 101 land in your Shopify admin. Your Shopify stays in charge: 101 never changes your products or prices there, and your 101 price is always your Shopify price. We check each new product before it goes on sale. When you mark an order fulfilled in Shopify, 101 updates on its own. Refunds and cancellations are done on 101 and passed to your Shopify; if one is made in Shopify instead, it opens a support case so a person can sort it out. The full list of what we read and write is on our Shopify data page.

Bringing you customers, your storefront and placement in the aisles and search, buyer protection, and our customer-service and dispute desk. It's charged on the product price only — never on the delivery fee — and it's calculated before any points a shopper redeems, so the loyalty wallet never comes out of your side. Payment handling isn't part of it: card orders carry a separate 2.75% of the card payment, delivery included, and cash on delivery carries nothing.

We do. Shoppers earn 5% back in points at every brand, and the marketplace pays for them, not makers. Your commission is worked out before a shopper spends any points, so a customer paying partly with points doesn't reduce your payout.

You do, with your own courier. You set your own delivery fee and making time and print your own labels, so your coverage and timings are whatever your courier already offers. A customer buying from two brands pays one delivery fee per brand. On a shopper's first order we pay the delivery fee, and you still get yours in full.

Shoppers pay by card or cash on delivery. On cash orders, your courier collects the money as usual; on card orders, we collect it and pay you. Once an order's 7-day return window has closed, it goes on your next statement: we send one on the 15th and the last day of each month, listing every order and our commission. The statement nets what we owe you — for card orders, and for any points a shopper spent or a free first delivery — against the commission on your cash orders. When we owe you, we pay by InstaPay or bank transfer within two days of the statement; when you owe us, you pay the same way and upload the proof.

Shoppers have 7 days from delivery to ask for a return, through our support team, and it's a refund, not an exchange. You can mark made-to-order and personalised pieces as final sale. Our support desk looks at what went wrong first. If a piece arrived damaged, faulty or not as described, you pay for the return delivery and the shopper gets your delivery fee back. On a change of mind, the shopper pays the return delivery. Where a shopper keeps the item and is refunded, the loss sits with you by default, though we can cover it as goodwill. On a refunded card order, the 2.75% handling fee isn't recoverable.

Not to apply — the form doesn't ask for any documents. Once we approve your brand, we email you a link to set your password. Add your payout details before your first statement. If we need anything else, we'll tell you when we review your application.

Yes. There's no lock-in and no exclusivity. If you close your store, we'll send you your full order and statement history.
