01.Use all 13 CSV import fields›
Complete listings rank higher in search. Even optional fields like Compare_At_Price and HST_Exempt influence buyer trust.
02.Write titles in both languages first›
French-speaking buyers account for 23% of Canadian online shoppers. A strong French title increases reach significantly.
03.Price in CAD, never USD›
GotMaple automatically shows CAD to all buyers. Entering USD prices will cause your listings to appear overpriced.
04.Add your return policy before your first sale›
Sellers with a clear return policy convert 40% more browsers into buyers, according to GotMaple internal data.
05.Use Canada Post Expedited Parcel for sub-500 g items›
It offers tracked delivery at competitive rates with no minimum dimensions — ideal for small Canadian gifts and food products.
06.Register for GST/HST when you hit $30,000 revenue›
Canadian law requires GST/HST registration once your annual revenues reach $30,000. Do it proactively to avoid penalties.
07.Respond to buyer messages within 24 hours›
Sellers with a sub-24h response rate earn a "Fast Responder" badge that increases click-through rates by up to 18%.
08.Photograph products on a white or neutral background›
GotMaple's search algorithm gives a small ranking boost to listings with high-contrast main images that meet accessibility contrast standards.
