How to Become a Verified Bike Shop on BicycleBuySell — Plans, Benefits & Step-by-Step Guide
Selling bikes online in Malaysia has never been easier — but if you're serious about growing your cycling business, a free personal seller account can only take you so far. BicycleBuySell's Verified Bike Shop programme gives you a professional storefront, online payment checkout, and powerful seller tools — all for less than RM 2 a day.
Here's everything you need to know about becoming a verified bike shop and which plan is right for you.
What is a Verified Bike Shop?
When you subscribe to a Shop plan, your account is upgraded from a regular private seller to a Verified Bike Shop with its own public profile page at bicyclebuysell.com/shops/your-shop-name. Your listings are automatically tagged with a "Shop" badge, signalling to buyers that they're dealing with a professional seller.
Here's what you get as a Verified Bike Shop:
- Dedicated shop profile — custom banner (1200x300px), logo, shop name, about section, operating hours and social media links
- Shop badge on all listings — builds trust and stands out from private sellers
- HitPay online checkout — buyers can pay instantly via Visa, Mastercard, Touch n Go eWallet or GrabPay. No more chasing bank transfers.
- Voucher system — create promo codes (percentage or fixed discount) to reward loyal customers or run sales
- Orders dashboard — manage all your orders in one place, update shipping with courier name and tracking number
- Sales analytics — monthly revenue chart, top products, GMV breakdown and transaction history
- Unlimited listings — no cap on how many bikes or parts you can list
Choose Your Plan
There are two subscription tiers, both billed monthly with no lock-in contract:
| Feature | Normal | Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly fee | RM 30 | RM 50 |
| Platform commission per sale | 2% | 1.5% |
| Shop profile page | Yes | Yes |
| HitPay online checkout | Yes | Yes |
| Voucher and promo codes | Yes | Yes |
| Sales analytics and revenue reports | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | New and casual shops | High-volume sellers |
Pro tip: The Pro plan pays for itself at roughly RM 4,000/month in sales. If you are moving more than that, the lower 1.5% commission saves you more than the RM 20 extra monthly fee.
Step-by-Step: How to Sign Up
Getting started takes less than 10 minutes:
- Create a free account (or log in) at bicyclebuysell.com. You can sign up with Google, Facebook, Strava or email.
- Go to your Shop Dashboard — click your profile icon and select Shop Dashboard, then navigate to Subscribe.
- Choose your plan — Normal (RM 30) or Pro (RM 50). Both are month-to-month with no contract.
- Pay via HitPay — accepted payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, Touch n Go eWallet and GrabPay.
- Set up your shop profile — add your shop name, logo, banner image, about section, operating hours and social media links. This becomes your public storefront.
- Connect your HitPay account — go to HitPay Setup in the dashboard and enter your HitPay API key to enable the Buy Now checkout on your listings.
- Start listing — all your existing and new listings are automatically upgraded to Shop listings with the verified badge.
How HitPay Checkout Works
Once your HitPay account is connected, here is the buyer experience:
- Buyer finds your listing and clicks Buy Now
- They enter their delivery details and optionally apply a voucher code
- Payment is processed instantly through HitPay (card, TnG, GrabPay)
- You receive an order notification with buyer details and delivery address
- Ship the item, then update the order with courier name and tracking number
- Buyer confirms delivery — sale complete
The entire flow is handled on BicycleBuySell — no need to manually share bank details or chase payments via WhatsApp.
Tips for a Great Shop Profile
- Banner image — use a 1200x300px banner. Action shots of bikes, your shopfront, or a branded header works best. Buyers see this first when they visit your shop page.
- Write a proper About section — mention how long you have been in business, what you specialise in (road, MTB, foldable, parts), and where you are based.
- Add all contact options — WhatsApp number, Instagram handle, Facebook page and website. The more ways buyers can reach you, the more trust you build.
- Use voucher codes strategically — offer a welcome discount (e.g. WELCOME10 for 10% off first order) or seasonal promotions to drive repeat buyers.
- Keep your listings fresh — use the Bump feature to push older listings back to the top of search results.
