How to Become an Importer / Exporter on AUSExports

This user guide shows exactly how to register, choose Customer or Vendor, select a vendor plan, complete payment, and start listing products/services professionally.

Before you start (recommended)

Have these details ready so your setup is smooth and you look professional from day one:

Email + mobile number Business profile (about, location) Product/service details (photos, pricing) Shipping capability / service area
Tip: Vendors should use a clean Shop URL slug (e.g. yourbrand) because your store will appear like: https://ausexports.com.au/store/yourbrand

Choose your role

On the registration form you can select “I am a customer” or “I am a vendor”. Pick the option based on what you want to do on the platform.

Customer = buy / enquire / browse Vendor = sell products / services
