Begad keeps adding tools for the sellers who use it. Here is a round-up of the most useful recent additions, and what each one means for your store.
Your own store page
Every active seller with published products has a public store page on Begad, with your logo, banner and description. Shoppers can browse, search and filter just your products there. New sellers also appear in a "New on Begad" section of the sellers directory for their first weeks.
Brands that sell on Begad through their own seller account can receive a verified brand tick, shown next to the store name on store pages and product pages. It tells shoppers they are buying from the brand itself.
To do: add a logo, a banner and a short description under Storefront Display in the seller portal. An empty store page looks unfinished.
The Begad app
Begad's shopping app is available on the App Store, Google Play and Huawei AppGallery. Your products appear in the app automatically, with the same prices, stock and deals as on the website. Nothing extra is needed from you, but good photos matter even more on a phone screen.
Product videos in Reels
The app has a Reels feed of short product videos, with an add-to-cart button on every video. Sellers can upload videos of their own published products from the seller portal. Each video is checked by Begad before it is shown.
A short, honest video that shows the product being used, its size in the hand or what is in the box often explains more than any photo.
Faster catalogue updates
- Update stock & prices from a sheet: upload the stock or price file you already export from your own system, in almost any layout. Begad recognises the columns, shows a preview and lets you undo.
- Import from Shopify: bring your Shopify catalogue to Begad from your store address or export file, with photos and options.
- Seller API: connect your own system to keep products, stock and orders in sync without manual work.
Your own delivery fees
Sellers who deliver their own orders can have their own delivery fee table on Begad, including free delivery above a set amount and areas they do not deliver to. Begad's team sets it up from your rates: write to sellers@begad.ae. Shoppers then see your fees on the product page and at checkout, and are told before ordering if you do not deliver to their address.
Clearer cancellations
When you cannot fulfil an order, you send a cancellation request with a reason instead of cancelling on your own. Begad reviews it. If the reason is that the product is out of stock, the product is taken off sale at the same time so the same problem does not happen with the next order.
Buying guides that feature your products
The Begad blog now publishes buying guides every day, in English and Arabic, built around products that are in stock on Begad, with product cards that link straight to the product page. Well-listed products with clear names, photos and facts are the ones that get picked.
Where to start
- Complete your store page.
- Check that your best sellers have an Arabic name, the right category and accurate stock.
- Upload a video for one or two key products.
- Join the next deal campaign with a small, planned selection.
