WHAT MATTERS

Your level reflects the whole picture.

No single metric determines a seller's level. Owode evaluates multiple areas of marketplace performance.

01

Store readiness

Professional store setup and account readiness help establish a strong foundation.

02

Product quality

A useful, complete and trustworthy catalogue contributes to seller growth.

03

Orders & sales

Completed orders and qualifying sales demonstrate real marketplace activity.

04

Customer trust

Reviews, ratings, reliability and customer satisfaction all matter.

05

Store activity

Consistent participation helps demonstrate an active and growing business.

06

Marketplace reliability

How consistently you fulfil your responsibilities affects your reputation.

07

Account standing

Maintaining good platform standing is an important part of sustainable growth.

Consistency over time

Seller Levels are designed around sustained performance rather than isolated wins.

The principle is simple: Seller Levels represent genuine marketplace quality. Strong performance across multiple areas helps sellers progress over time.

FAQS

Questions about Seller Levels?

Understand how levels are calculated, whether they can change, and how Seller Levels differ from Seller Partners or marketplace badges.

Visit Help Centre
Are Seller Levels automatic?

Yes. Seller Levels are calculated automatically using marketplace data and are updated as sellers continue to grow.

Can my Seller Level change?

Yes. As your business improves and meets the requirements for the next level, your Seller Level can be updated automatically. If marketplace performance declines significantly or platform standards are no longer met, the level may also be adjusted.

Can I pay for a higher Seller Level?

No. Seller Levels cannot be purchased or manually assigned. They are earned through genuine marketplace performance and customer trust.

What determines my Seller Level?

Seller Levels are based on multiple marketplace factors, including store quality, product catalogue, completed orders, sales performance, customer reviews, activity, reliability and overall account standing.

Where can I see my Seller Level?

Sellers can view their current level and reputation from the Seller Reputation section of their Seller Dashboard.

Do Seller Levels affect buyers?

Yes. Seller Levels help buyers identify merchants with a proven history of consistency, professionalism and reliable service, making it easier to shop with confidence.

Are Seller Levels the same as Seller Partners?

No. Seller Levels measure a seller's marketplace performance and reputation. Seller Partners are a separate Owode partner programme for people or businesses that help bring sellers onto Owode. Visit the Help Centre for the distinction.
