# Seller Requirements

> Build the checklist sellers complete before they can be approved to sell on your marketplace.

Seller requirements are **the checklist sellers complete before they can be approved**. Each item appears on the seller's own onboarding checklist, and the required ones gate approval.

To reach it, navigate to **Settings → Seller requirements**, under the **Marketplace** group.

## What's on the screen

A drag-ordered list of requirements — the order you set here is the order sellers work through. There is no sort control; drag the handle to reorder.

A new store starts with five requirements, each marked **Required** and **Active**:

* **Accept terms**
* **Complete profile**
* **Billing address**
* **Returns address**
* **Minimum products**

## Add a requirement

Click **Add requirement**. The panel opens with a single **Type** dropdown, reading *"Choose what to ask for."* It offers the kinds not already in use:

* **Delivery method**
* **Shipping box**
* **Payout account**
* **Required custom fields**
* **Seller policy**
* **Seller confirmation**
* **Manual check**
* **Document**

## Edit a requirement

Opening a requirement gives you three settings:

| Setting      | What the screen says                                                                              |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**     | *"What the seller sees on their checklist."*                                                      |
| **Required** | *"Required items must be done before a seller can be approved. Others are shown as recommended."* |
| **Active**   | *"Switch off to stop asking for this without deleting it."*                                       |

## Good to know

* A requirement type can only be used once, so the **Add requirement** list shrinks as you add them.
* Switching a requirement to inactive retires it without losing the record of sellers who already completed it.
* Marking an item **Required** is what gates approval — anything left unrequired is shown to the seller as recommended.
