If you run more than one store on Takealot, Multi-Store Management lets you handle them all from a single Huiguang ERP account — no more bouncing between the Takealot seller portal and a pile of browser tabs.

Many South African cross-border sellers run several Takealot shops at once — to spread risk, cover more categories, or take on transfer stock. But the more shops you run, the more friction piles up: logging in over and over, switching back and forth, and reading each store's numbers in isolation. Just figuring out which shop sold best today can eat up real time. Multi-Store Management fixes exactly that — it pulls your scattered shops into one clean dashboard so you can manage them all as easily as you'd manage one.

What this feature does for you

In short: one account, all your shops. Every store's products, orders, and sales data live in the same place, so you no longer need a separate window and a separate login for each one.

One-tap store switching: A store switcher at the top of the page shows each shop with the icon and nickname you chose, with the active store highlighted. Tap once and the whole page refreshes to that store's data, with virtually no wait.
Compare everything in Overview mode: Flip on Overview mode at the top and the dashboard brings together the products, orders, and pricing across all your shops at once — so you can see at a glance which store sells best and which has the most room to move on price. When you want to focus on one shop again, just switch to it and Overview turns off automatically.
Name your shops your way: Give each store an easy nickname and an icon (for example, a different icon per category) so you never mix up or click into the wrong shop, no matter how many you run.
Faster new-store setup: When you add a new shop, tick one option to connect Takealot's lead-time order sync automatically. New orders show up in Huiguang ERP right away — no need to log into the Takealot portal and set it up by hand.
Credentials kept safe: Each shop's access credentials are encrypted and stored separately, and are never exposed to anyone — so you can confidently keep all your stores under one account.

How it helps you sell more and save time

For a multi-store seller, time and attention are themselves a cost. This feature helps your bottom line in three direct ways:

Less busywork: No more logging into different shops or refreshing a wall of tabs by hand. Managing everything from one account cuts the repetitive clicks, so your team can spend that time on the work that actually drives sales.
Clearer view, sharper decisions: Overview mode lines up sales, stock, and pricing across all your shops, so you can quickly spot which store is most profitable and which category is worth doubling down on — then steer resources and traffic toward them.
Coordinated pricing across shops: Managing several stores together lets you plan pricing and dynamic repricing across them in one go, so your own shops don't undercut each other and eat into your margins — while you still stay competitive in the market.

Store limits scale with your plan: Standard supports 2 shops, Pro supports 4, and Premium supports 8. Once you reach the limit, the system prompts you to upgrade — keeping multi-store operations under control. To prevent slip-ups, you can remove at most one shop every 24 hours by default, and every removal is logged for your records.

Real-world scenarios

Peak season across multiple shops: During the annual peak, many sellers spin up several transfer shops at once. Manage the stock and pricing of 4–8 stores from one account, use Overview mode to compare sales fast, and funnel traffic into the highest-converting shops — so peak season runs far more smoothly.

Separate shops per category: Mid-sized sellers often open different shops for different sub-categories. Open the Overview board and you can immediately tell which category has the most pricing headroom, then prioritise it for automated repricing and resource investment.

Switch credentials without deleting a shop: When you need to move to a business account or migrate to new access, there's no need to delete and rebuild the whole store. Update the credentials in one tap on the management page, and the system verifies that the new credentials are valid and belong to the same seller, then syncs your warehouse details.

New shops live from day one: Tick the auto-connect option for lead-time order sync when you first add a shop, and new orders sync in the moment the store is created — no manual setup in the Takealot portal required.

With Multi-Store Management, every Takealot cross-border seller can run their entire business from one account and one dashboard — with room to grow.
