Questions
Frequently asked
Do I need to keep stock?
No. Rapple holds the stock. You can order per client, and Rapple can deliver directly to your client.
How do I get paid?
In Mode A you buy at the distributor price and invoice your client yourself. In Mode B your client pays Rapple, and once it is paid you invoice Rapple for your commission. The portal creates that invoice for you.
Is there credit?
No. Orders are dispatched once funds reflect in Rapple’s account.
Are there purchasing targets?
Yes. Year one starts at R30,000 in month 1 and grows to R100,000 a month from month 6, reviewed every year. The portal tracks your progress.
What does it cost to join?
There is no joining fee. You need a registered business and the documents listed on the application.
Can I choose my own prices?
Salons and other trade clients pay Rapple’s trade price; consumers pay the retail price. You choose the client type and the portal fills in the right price and shows your margin. Discounts need Rapple’s approval.
Who delivers?
A third-party courier at your or your client’s cost. Risk passes on delivery to the address you nominate.
