Selling on Trendyol: A Guide to Becoming a Seller from Scratch and Growing
How do you sell on Trendyol? This guide walks you through every step in a simple order — from what you need to become a seller to your first order, from commission and invoicing rules to scaling across multiple marketplaces.
The short path: (1) Register for tax (a sole proprietorship is the fastest), (2) apply as a Trendyol Seller and upload your documents, (3) open your store after approval, (4) list your products, (5) issue an e-invoice for every order and ship quickly. If you will manage more than one marketplace, setting up a single panel from the start prevents stock/price errors and wasted time.
What do you need to sell on Trendyol?
Trendyol is a marketplace open to registered businesses (companies and sole proprietors); selling as a hobby without tax registration is not possible. Requirements:
- Active tax registration: a sole proprietorship, a limited company or a joint-stock company. The fastest and lowest-cost option to start is usually a sole proprietorship.
- Tax certificate and ID/signature documents.
- Bank (IBAN) details — your payouts are paid here.
- Product images and descriptions; in some categories a trademark registration/authorization document.
If you don't have a company yet, sort out your tax registration first; the Trendyol application cannot be completed without tax details. A sole proprietorship is the most practical start for most new sellers.
Step by step: becoming a Trendyol seller
- Application: Fill in the application form on the Trendyol Seller page and enter your business and contact details.
- Document upload: Upload your tax certificate, ID, IBAN and, if required, trademark documents.
- Approval: If your documents are complete, the application is usually approved within a few business days.
- Store setup: In the panel, complete your store name, logo, return/shipping settings and agreements.
- Product listing: Add products with the correct category, barcode, images and description.
- Start selling: Enter prices and stock, activate the shipping agreement and fulfil your first orders.
How do commission, shipping and payouts work?
Opening a store is free; Trendyol charges commission and a service fee on your earnings. Roughly:
| Item | How it works |
|---|---|
| Commission | Varies by category (roughly a 10%–22% band). Categories such as electronics can be lower, fashion/cosmetics higher. |
| Shipping | Trendyol's contracted carriers; the fee based on desi (volumetric weight)/weight is deducted from the payout. |
| Payout | Commission, shipping and service fees are deducted from the sales amount, and the remainder is paid to your IBAN on the set payment term. |
Always confirm current commission rates in the Trendyol Seller Academy and build your profit calculation accordingly.
Invoicing is mandatory: an e-invoice for every order
On Trendyol, issuing an e-Fatura or e-Arşiv invoice for every order is a legal requirement, and the invoice upload time affects your Seller Score. Trendyol does not issue it on your behalf. We cover the process and its automation separately: Trendyol e-invoice guide →
Be ready to go from one product to many channels
When you start on Trendyol, bring the product–stock–price–order–invoice chain into a single panel, so you don't struggle with manual updates as you grow.
First-sale tips for new sellers
- Competitive price + the right images: these bring the first click and the Buy Box.
- Stay in stock: running out of stock lowers your listing and momentum.
- Ship quickly: late shipping and late invoicing lower your rating and visibility.
- Protect your store rating: resolve returns and complaints quickly.
Growth: multiple marketplaces and a single panel
Once your business is established on Trendyol, the natural next step is to expand to channels such as Hepsiburada, N11, Amazon and Çiçeksepeti. But updating stock/prices manually on each platform both takes time and increases the risk of overselling (stock errors). From a single panel, Zunapro:
- Keeps products in sync across all marketplaces,
- Updates stock on the other channels automatically when a sale happens in one place,
- Manages orders and e-invoices from one place.
