A loadsheet per brand you carry
Listings built from the data you have
Makro wants its own loadsheet, attributes and images, for every brand you distribute. We build each listing from your store or ERP data, so nobody fills in another loadsheet.
🚀 Product listing for Makro
Get your range past Makro QC, without overselling it.
Wherehouse builds each Makro listing from the data already in Shopify, WooCommerce, Cin7 Core , so nobody fills in another loadsheet. Then stock and prices stay right on Makro, for every brand you carry.

Approved vendor, reviewed by Takealot sellers
A Makro listing is only as good as the stock and price behind it.
Every brand you add is another loadsheet, stock number and price to keep right. Get them wrong and you cancel orders or sell at a loss.
Oversells on a second shelf
One stock number everywhere
Stock on Makro drifts the moment something sells in your shop or on Takealot. Your store or ERP stays the source of truth and Makro follows it, so you stop cancelling orders.
Prices that leak after commission
The right price after Makro’s cut
Makro’s commission comes off every sale. A price rule per channel builds it in, so a sale on Makro still makes money.
Revenue that isn’t profit
Real profit per SKU
See net profit per SKU after Makro fees, shipping and your cost of goods, not just gross revenue. Fees land in Xero, QuickBooks or Zoho Books.
From your catalogue to live on Makro.
Four steps, done with you. No loadsheets, and no learning the seller portal.
-
We connect your stock system
Shopify, WooCommerce, Cin7 Core or your ERP. Your product data stays where it is.
-
AI fills the gaps for QC
Titles, attributes and descriptions shaped for Makro from your own data. It doesn’t invent product facts.
-
We submit in bulk
Makro gets a draft first, then we send it to QC from inside Wherehouse. If Makro already has the product, we attach your offer instead.
-
You see what passed
Every submission shows its QC status. If one fails, you get a plain-English reason and the field to fix at source.
Honest expectation: Makro approves listings through its own QC team, and sets the timing. What we control is the quality of what we submit. Listing is best effort: most sellers see a 90%+ success rate, and a listing can still fail QC. If a submission fails before it reaches Makro, the credit comes back.
👋 Sent here by Makro or Takealot?
Listing gets you on the shelf. Sync keeps you there.
Sell the same stock in two places without sync and you’ll oversell. That means cancelled orders and a hit to your rating. So we always pair the two.
-
We list your range
From your store or ERP data. 25 to 100 listings a month included on a plan, then R5 per SKU.
-
We connect your stock
Your store or ERP stays the source of truth. Every marketplace follows it.
-
You sell without cancelling orders
Orders land in your hub, stock drops everywhere, fees hit your books.
-
Listing on its own?
We don’t sell it. Listing without sync is how oversells start.
Built for one kind of seller. On purpose.
We do our best work for brands and distributors who already have a system of record. If that’s you, most are live in under 5 days. If it isn’t, we’ll tell you upfront.
✅ You’re a great fit if
- You own a brand, or distribute brands in South Africa.
- Your stock lives in Shopify, WooCommerce, Cin7 Core, Unleashed, Zoho, Sage, Odoo .
- You hold the stock and sell every month, whether that’s 5 SKUs or 5,000.
- You sell on Takealot, Amazon, Makro , or you want to.
- You supply retailers like Yuppiechef, Superbalist or Takealot on purchase orders.
- You’re tired of retyping orders, cancelling oversells and fixing prices by hand.
🙅 We’re not the right fit if
- You’re still testing your first products, with no regular sales yet.
- You only sell in one place, with no store or stock system behind it.
- You want listings without stock sync. That’s how oversells happen.
- You want an agency to run your store for you.
Not sure? Book the call. If we’re not a fit, we’ll say so in 20 minutes and point you somewhere better.
Brands and distributors like you, already running.
