  • Optimise your Product title by including the following:
    • Brand name first followed by the title description
    • Title description of the product you are selling

    • Multi-variant, i.e. size and colour under the same SKU
  • When listing a product on digiDirect, you must add all necessary specifications under the description of your product listing.
  • As the Seller, you know your products better. Therefore, the better the description, the better your chance of selling. A detailed product description helps buyers understand your product better and builds trust and credibility, leading to higher sales.
What are the requirements for promotional and/or discounted pricing?
  • It may be illegal to advertise a product discount unless it is a genuine discount for a limited time. It may also be unlawful to advertise a product price compared to a recommended retail price (RRP) where the RRP is not a genuine statement of the supplier’s recommended retail price.
  • Sellers using statements such as ‘savings’ or ‘discounts’ when comparing a sale price to the RRP of goods and services may convey to potential customers that they are getting a good deal because the sale price is less than the RRP. If the product has never been previously sold at the RRP, or the RRP does not reflect a current market price. Depending on the circumstances, this type of comparison may misrepresent the savings that may be achieved.
Sellers are encouraged to consider the guidance provided by the ACCC, including the Advertising and selling guide (A guide for business) – July 2021.

Do we allow any seller to sell on digiMarket?

No—the marketplace will be a closed marketplace, meaning sellers will join after applying and being accepted by the digiDirect team or by invitation. Both inbound and outbound leads will be reviewed and assessed against various criteria to ensure they meet our standards and for the best customer experience. Sellers will also have to go through the required onboarding process to be able to sell on our marketplace. This includes signing up for all requirements in our Seller Agreement, including our SLAs, and passing the required seller and product checks.

Are there limits on what a seller can sell on digiMarket?

Sellers are not allowed to sell the same first-party products sold by digiDirect. For example, a seller will still be able to sell phone covers but will not be able to sell the exact same phone cover SKU that digiDirect sells. Sellers can upload all their offers in the agreed range to our marketplace platform. Still, if another seller(s) sells the same SKU, customers will only see the offer with the best customer experience on digiDirect.com.au. This will be based on various factors, including price and availability.

We will also agree with each seller on the specific categories/subcategories/products they can sell on digiMarket. Sellers are expected to adhere to this agreement at all times. If a seller wants to extend their range into additional categories/subcategories/products outside of this agreement, they must seek approval from the digiMarket team.

Will sellers be allowed to sell the same products?

Sellers will be allowed to upload all offers in the agreed range to our marketplace platform, but if more than one seller is selling the same SKU, customers will only see the offer from the seller offering the best customer experience on digiDirect.com.au. This will be based on a range of factors, including price and availability.

Sellers are not allowed to sell the same first-party products sold by digiDirect.

How will promotions work?

Sellers control their pricing so they can discount their products (they must be ACCC compliant), but promotions for digiMarket products will not be formally promoted to customers on digiDirect.com.au; however, the price will be displayed with a ‘Price Slashed’ (see image). digiDirect first-party products will continue to run promotions as we do today, and in the future, digiMarket products will have the option to be included in these promotions. We will provide details on promotions as the opportunity arises.
