Buyer Qualifications

About Buyer Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in enrolling as a buyer on IndieMe. We try to make your enrollment process as quick and easy as possible. Our artists are wholesale professionals and expect to deal with qualified buyers. In order to satisfy this expectation we will ask you to provide personal and business information as well as business credentials for approval.

During the buyer enrollment process you will be asked to provide verification materials, which are listed below. In order to make this process as easy as possible we recommend that you gather the necessary items before you begin the online enrollment, where you will have the opportunity to upload or email these items to us later.

Storefront Retailers

As a storefront retailer the easiest way for you to be approved is to upload an image of the:

Inside of your store (required)
Outside of your store (including store sign) (required)
Buyer picture used to enhance your profile that you send to artists (optional)

Or you can direct us to use your web site or send us the link to your Facebook and social media business pages which shows images of the inside and outside of the storefront establishment (we recommend you upload images when possible, but we will be happy to qualify you based on your web site images if you prefer). In most cases we can qualify storefront retailers based on these images.
