The fact is New Zealand does not produce all of the goods and/or services we need or want to purchase. Examples such as iPhones, TVs, Washing Machines, Motor Vehicles, Laptops, Personal Computer and many more. Given this very real situation, our position is wherever possible we should purchase imported goods from Kiwi-owned businesses* to minimise the amount of New Zealand dollars being sent overseas and to maximise the benefits of helping Kiwi businesses thrive. Hence, some imported goods and/ or services are listed on our platform.

New Zealand produced** products and or services can be recognised by the Buy Kiwi logo™ being listed on the product display section. Imported products and/or services do not have our logo listed in the product section.

It is an eligibility requirement for sellers to be at least 80% NZ owned* to be listed on our platform.

No, Buy Kiwi can be used as your website, you can add products and sell your products on Buy Kiwi without a website.

This can be a cost-effective solution for new businesses or businesses targeting a local area. As you get bigger, we do recommend you make contact with Virtual Innovation to set up a professional website. They will also advise on the right type of website to implement.

Along with meeting all the normal laws in NZ such as the Fair Trading Act, we will provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to set-up your shop on the Buy Kiwi Marketplace.

Sellers set and manage their shipping options on Buy Kiwi via their eCommerce platforms. 

We recommend Easyship for those who do not have shipping options or are looking for an alternative solution from their current shipping provider. 

All payouts are facilitated securely through Stripe, sellers must therefore create an account with Stripe to receive payouts on Buy Kiwi’s marketplace. 

Yes, Stripe requires a different account to enable Buy Kiwi to pay your business for it’s sales via the Buy Kiwi platform. Payouts can only be completed after the Stripe account is fully approved by Stripe. 

Buy Kiwi processes payouts for sellers’ completed sales every 14 days on every second Wednesday to Friday.

If any given Wednesday to Friday is a public holiday, payment will be processed on the next business day. 

Payments are 14 days post receipt of funds from the client, less any applicable deductions, fees, and charges.

For example, if a Seller payment was made on Wednesday, February the 28th, it would be for sales from 1st to 14th February.

No, this is the responsibility of the Seller to manage directly with the customer. 

We allow 14 days for deliveries etc to take effect and to allow a reasonable amount of time for our sellers to action any refund requests, customer queries or anything of the like. 

We strongly encourage all Sellers to ensure they provide information that is clear, concise and accurate so customers make a fully informed decision to purchase. 

Buy Kiwi views refund and return requests as the Sellers responsibility, therefore, at the completion of the sale, Buy Kiwi has fulfilled its role of connecting the customer and the seller. 

As such, Buy Kiwi does not refund success fees (commission) in these circumstances.
