SHOPonSHEROES
One destination, a million aspirations!

Welcome to #SHOPonSHEROES, a permanent residence for your online shop! Your one-link stop to express your creativity and monetize your talent. With your own custom online store for every need and every product, at SHOPonSHEROES, we let you be the boss. Quite literally.

Pretty interesting, right?

I figured it would be. That’s why I put together a little SHOPonSHEROES Guide to help you get started and learn how to set up your SHOP. Make the best of the opportunity that lies within the palm of your hands. 😉

Here we go!

There are two ways to set up your own SHOPonSHEROES:
1. SHEROES app
2. SHEROES website

Set up your SHOPonSHEROES with SHEROES App

Install the SHEROES app from the Play Store.

You can sign up on the app using your mobile number or email id and verify it with an OTP. Or simply use your pre-existing Facebook or Google account details!

Don’t forget to choose the language you would like to use the app in —English, Hindi or Telugu.

Make your account real by adding your profile image along with your name. The next step is clicking a verification selfie, for as a women-only app your safety comes first. Once verified, go ahead and select any or all the communities that match your interest.

And there! You’re now a part of the SHEROES tribe 💗

Let’s get down to business! Tap on ‘Social’ tab and click the ‘💼 Launch your online store now’ option on the top of your screen.

Now, it’s time to create your SHOP! The first step towards launching your SHOPonSHEROES is creating your very own Business Profile!

You’re about to give your shop its name, its identity. So pick one that you feel would reflect your business the best along with an image of choice. First impressions, amirite? You can of course change either of these any time you want but I’d recommend doing so only when truly needed. How else would your customers recognize the shop? Once you feel sure about the name and image, go ahead and pick a SHOP type that is closest to what your online store is going to be about and give it a fitting description. Let your potential customer know every detail of what your SHOP is about and the kind of products up for sale!

Now moving on to the most crucial part of setting up your shop — Adding bank details.

This will allow us to transfer all payments made to your SHOP securely in your bank account. No cash on delivery (COD), no multiple links to be shared with customers — just fill in your bank details once in your SHOPonSHEROES and rest easy. Collect and track your payments securely anytime, anywhere.

Click on Create to proceed and congratulations! You are now a proud SHOP owner, your SHOPonSHEROES is live! 🎉

Let’s head to your Dashboard now. This is where you will see all the information about your shop. You will also see banners showing the latest events and SHOP information.

Let’s start with the most important part — decorating your SHOP with products! Add products you wish to sell at your SHOPonSHEROES with the correct name and description for every product uploaded. Add high quality images (videos are a bonus and encouraged!) relevant to the product to grab your customer’s attention. Add the price of the product, and don’t forget the delivery fee so that the buyer knows the total amount they would be paying by the end of their purchase. Once your product is up in your SHOP, buying is just a click away!

Add products to your SHOPonSHEROES and build your catalogue!

“Hey, but what if I don’t have products of my own to sell in my SHOP?”
Good question!

As long as you have the will and passion to do so, SHEROES has a way to help YOU build your way up. Click here and sign up for SHECO!

With SHECO, women can set up their SHOP of quality products from premium brands in the SHECO inventory. Resell, earn high margins, make things happen! Isn’t that wonderful? 😁

Your SHOPonSHEROES is yours to #TakeCharge — make it pretty, and add a catalogue of all the products you will sell! You can also choose to see the catalogue as a list or image tiles. So give your customers a wide range of products to pick from when they visit your SHOP.

If you any product from your catalogue is Out of Stock, make sure to make it unavailable! This will help your customers and avoid creating confusion.

Great! Now that your SHOP is live and kickin’ to run, it’s time to tell everyone about you and your SHOP! 👍 Let’s do it the SHEROES way!

Connect with women like you in communities of your interest like Fashion & Lifestyle, Poetry, Women in Business, Cooking, and more for long lasting relationships. Share your journey, get support, learn from the experiences of other women, and also get your SHOP discovered on the SHEROES app! Stay social to build credibility.

As your one-shop-destination on the internet, invite your existing women customers to visit your SHOPonSHEROES too. Encourage them to leave a review of their shopping experience with you and the product purchased! What’s an online store without any trust? Plus, more buyers = more transactions.

For your customers who cannot be on the SHEROES app, worry not, we’ve got them covered too! Share product photos from your SHOPonSHEROES, and once they’ve made a choice — simply create a payment link found in your Dashboard to share with them.

All you need to do is add the total amount (product price + delivery fee) payable for the product(s) being purchased and tap on Create. And there you have your payment link! Copy/share this link with the interested non-SHEROES customer and just like that in one click, the payment is ✨ DONE ✨

Set up your SHOPonSHEROES with SHEROES Website

To get started, go to the SHEROES website. Just like the SHEROES app, signing up for SHEROES via web is easy!

Choose your preferred mode to make your SHEROES account.

After you sign up and land on the SHEROES Feed, click on Create Shop on the Menu bar on the left. Fill in the details as mentioned on the page, including your bank details. This will allow us to transfer all payments made to your SHOP securely in your bank account. Once you’ve filled in your bank details, select Create, and congratulations! You’ve successfully set up your SHOPonSHEROES.

You will see About, Catalogue, and Dashboard tabs on top of the screen. Click on the Catalogue option to add products you wish to sell on your SHOP. The green ‘+’ sign at the bottom will allow you to do so. Go ahead and select it!

Add product of choice, state its name and details. Don’t forget to add product photos and/or videos — Make it irresistible for your customers! Once you’ve filled in the needed information, click on Add.

Your product will now be visible on your SHOP catalogue for potential customers and buyers to see. Add more to make your SHOP prettier as well as to provide more options to customers.

Click on Dashboard to get your SHOP and sales overview. Plus, you will also see banners of latest events and updates at the top of the page too.

And there, you’re done!

Let us take a moment here to celebrate! Your life as a businesswoman and entrepreneur has just taken a major leap forward. We can’t wait for your SHOPonSHEROES journey to start, just like 27-year-old Narayanee, a techie who now runs her own mandala-inspired art shop ‘Sai Art Collection’ or like Amita, our SHECO partner who brings quality lifestyle, fashion, food and more products to the scene.

Let’s go, ladies! Time to make some sales and get the world around us to #SHOPforHER👏
