FAQs

1. Do I need a business licence to open a vendor account?
Not always. Sole traders can register without a formal licence, but you must comply with local regulations.

2. How long does account verification take?
Most accounts are verified within 24 hours. Additional documents may extend this process.

3. Can I change my store name after registration?
Yes, but frequent changes can confuse customers. Choose carefully at the start.

4. What payment methods are supported?
Kapsule supports major methods such as Credit/Debit Cards, Afterpay, and PayPal.

5. What if I forget my login details?
Use the Forgot Password link on the login page to reset securely.

6. Do I need professional design skills for my logo or banner?
No. Clean, simple images are fine, though professional designs build trust.

7. How long should my bio be?
Aim for 100–150 words — long enough to showcase your brand but short enough to keep attention.

8. Will my profile appear in search results?
Yes. Your store profile and products are visible to customers browsing or searching on Kapsule.
