Tophatter has been re-imagining discovery commerce in a world increasingly connected by smartphones. According to the company, it is the world’s fastest, most entertaining marketplace for mobile shoppers. And for sellers, it almost guarantees that they will find buyers, immediately. Too good to be true? Payoneer talked to Dan Burch, Business Development Manager at Tophatter to find out more.
Tophatter connects buyers and sellers around the world in real-time auctions that are both fast and effective. We leverage our ever-expanding data for merchandising and personalization to a point where nearly every item sells, and sells within an average of 90 seconds.
Fashion jewelry and fine jewelry are very popular right now, but apparel, consumer electronics, designer handbags, beauty products, and home furnishings are also selling very well.
There is actually no external promotion necessary. All Tophatter buyers will see all the auctions available. Our marketplace caters to sellers with the ability to source and sell great inventory. Our job is to attract multiple buyers to the auctions.
Most of our buyers are female and located in the United States. Sellers don’t need to worry about targeting buyers- our platform does that automatically.
They can start selling today by going to our website or they can reach out to me for partnership opportunities.
We pay our sellers in the US via ACH. For international sellers, we use Payoneer.
A big opportunity that we see in eCommerce, and that is going to last for a while, comes from the trend towards connecting manufacturers directly with demand in real time. This eventually will allow them to focus on making the best products, and not on building warehouses and marketing channels. At Tophatter we’ve built a platform where manufacturers can sell to consumers directly, instantly, anywhere in the world.
