For traders & collectors

Turn your collection into income.

Whether you're a fine-art gallery, a coin trader on WhatsApp, or clearing an estate — Sunflower gives you a verified collector audience, secure escrow, integrated logistics, and the option to keep your existing client base exclusive via a private trader code.

  • Apply once · we verify in 48 hours

    FICA-style identity check, business or sole-trader docs, and a payout account. Free.

  • List on auction and Buy Now — same listing

    Set an opening bid, a Premium Buy-Now price, and decide whether Buy Now stays open after the first bid. Bulk-upload from CSV.

  • Get paid · we handle the hard parts

    Escrow holds the buyer's funds. We pay out 24h after delivery is confirmed. 11.5% commission, all-in.

  • Optional: keep your existing clients exclusive

    Generate a private trader code. Clients who register through it see only your inventory until they choose otherwise.

Keep your existing clients exclusive

Many of you came up trading via WhatsApp groups, Facebook and Gumtree, and you've worked hard for the client list you have. Sunflower respects that.

When you're approved, we generate a unique trader code (e.g. KAR-1245). Share it with your clients, and when they register through that code, they see only your inventory at first — no cross-shopping with other traders.

You still get every Sunflower benefit: escrow, courier integration, FICA-checked buyers, customer-service handling, the works.
