FAQ

What is Rasba?

Rasba is a social e-commerce platform that connects sellers of the hottest brands and trends with young and hip buyers. Brands can create a simple, fast, and customizable store within the website while users can discover and buy awesome new products/brands. What makes Rasba special is the awesome social networking and affiliate program that buyers and sellers can take advantage of. Whenever a user buys a product from a Rasba store, it goes to a public profile page where the user displays each product he/she has bought (see ) and each time a user sells a product displayed through their profile, they get a commission, which varies from each product.

Rasba's mission is to bring you the newest, best, most fun online shopping experience. We connect buyers and sellers by closing the loop, and offer incentives to both parties of every transaction.

How much does Rasba cost?

Rasba is completely free for both buyers and sellers. Brands/Retailers can setup a new shop in minutes. For every sale completed on the network, Rasba collects a small transaction fee of 8%. At the end of each month, Rasba will send each store an invoice to collect the sales and user affiliate commissions.

I already have an online store, can I link up my online store so I can be on Rasba?

No, we do not yet have a way to integrate existing online stores to the Rasba platform. Most brands on Rasba already have online stores on their official websites, but still decide to create another store on Rasba to act as an additional marketing and selling tool because of our unique features. Setting up a store on Rasba should be very simple and fast, but if you wish to have someone else build a store on Rasba for you, we offer a fully customizable in-house store building service free of charge for a limited time only.
