Pro Tip
Before you place a customer order, it is important that you place a sample order. Product samples help you ensure each order for your store is a worthwhile investment for you and your customers. You can determine if an item fits your brand, meets your quality standards, and will live up to your customer's expectations.

Alert
You should maintain sufficient credits in Qikink for a seamless order flow. However, there is no minimum recharge amount required, and you can recharge while placing an order.
The order value should be greater than or equal to the invoice value. If the package is lost or damaged in transit, we can only provide compensation based on the order value, as that is the amount we can claim.
Pro Tip
For sample orders, opt for prepaid payment methods instead of cash on delivery.
