Opening your shop on Akaguriro.com takes a few minutes. Selling well there, long-term, is something else: it means being recognized by customers who don't know you yet.

Selling here means going beyond the local market

On Akaguriro.com, your customers don't see you, can't touch the product, try the service, or meet the freelancer before choosing you. What convinces them is what you show them — and what other customers say about you afterward. That's demanding, and it's exactly what sets a proven seller apart on the platform: clean, professional, authentic, sometimes innovative.

A market where trust stays fragile

A customer can receive a non-conforming product and return it, just as they can end up disappointed by a service or job that doesn't keep its promises. That's normal, and it's also what protects everyone. Honesty isn't an extra on Akaguriro.com — it's the very core of being a seller.

This standard applies to all three ways of selling on Akaguriro.com: products through a shop, services offered by a shop, or your expertise as a freelancer — developer, accountant, trainer, designer. Registration happens in the same place for all three.

That's the standard we're inviting you to sell by. Three things, day to day, make the difference: photos (or a portfolio) that make people want to click, a description that builds trust, and staying visible.

Photos that make people want to click

For a product, the photo is king. For a service or freelance expertise, the equivalent is a concrete example of finished work: a project, a screenshot, a before/after.

• A plain background (a sheet or a light wall) is enough to make a product stand out.
• Favor natural light over flash, which often flattens colors.
• Take several angles: an overall shot, close-ups on details, and if possible the product in use.
• A recent smartphone is more than enough to start — no need for professional gear.

A description that builds trust

Customers don't buy what they don't understand. Keep your product page simple:

• A clear title that says what it is, not a slogan.
• Concrete features: material, size, color, dimensions.
• What it means for the customer: why this product over another.

Skip vague phrases like "quality product" — be specific, it shows and it sells better.

Staying visible

• Keep your stock current: an out-of-stock item can be marked "unavailable" in one click, instead of letting a customer order into thin air.
• Share your products on your social media — each shop is also responsible for getting the word out.
• A shop that regularly adds new products stays more visible than one that never changes.

All of this — photos, descriptions, stock — is managed from your My Shop dashboard.
