Rules
How the leaderboard works
BazaarTop is paid advertising. You pay to show your product higher on the board. That’s all — nobody receives money or rewards from a ranking.
1. How ranking works
- All-time: listings are ordered by the total amount paid for them. More paid = higher rank.
- Today: ordered by how much was paid in the last 24 hours.
- Trending: ordered by clicks in the last 24 hours.
- If two listings have the same total, the one listed earlier ranks higher.
- Each category — and each type inside it (for example Women’s Fashion → Sarees) — has its own board, ranked the same way. Every listing appears on the main board, its category board and its type board. Browse categories
- Pick the category that best fits your product. We may move a listing to a better-fitting category during review.
2. Prices
- New listing: minimum ₹49 to claim your first spot.
- Boost more later: pay any amount from ₹5. You only pay what you add — it adds to your total.
- Claim a spot: to rank above a listing, reach its total plus a small step that depends on the spot: #1 +₹15, #2 +₹13, #3 +₹10, every other spot +₹5. The board shows this as “Claim this spot for ₹X”.
- Example: the #1 listing has ₹49 in total, so taking #1 costs ₹49 + ₹15 = ₹64.
- No sneaking past by ₹1: a payment can’t move you past a listing by less than that spot’s step. Checkout tells you the exact amount that works.
3. Anyone can boost any listing
A listing isn’t locked to one person. Anyone can pay to boost it, and every payment adds to its total. If someone submits a link that’s already listed, we don’t create a copy — their payment goes to the existing listing.
4. Link rules
Your link must be where shoppers can actually buy from you:
- Allowed: your Instagram profile or post, your WhatsApp number (wa.me/…), a WhatsApp catalog, or your own website/store.
- Short links (bit.ly, tinyurl…) are opened and replaced with the real address. If we can’t open one, paste the full link.
- Not allowed: chat or group invite links (WhatsApp/Telegram groups, Discord, Signal), and affiliate, cashback or referral links.
- We remove everything after “?” and “#” (tracking codes etc.), so shoppers land on a clean link.
5. Review before going live
Every new listing is checked before it appears on the board — usually within 24 hours. We don’t approve products that are illegal, fake/counterfeit, adult, dangerous (weapons, drugs, tobacco), misleading, or that use someone else’s brand or photos without permission. Please check these rules before you pay.
6. Payments
- Payments are processed securely by Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking). No login needed — just an email.
- Your rank changes only after Razorpay confirms the payment to us. This usually takes seconds.
- Payments are for visibility only and are non-refundable except for duplicate or failed charges.
7. Clicks
When a shopper taps a listing, we count a click and send them to the seller’s link. Clicks are an activity signal, not guaranteed unique visitors. We skip obvious bots and link previews. Cost per click = total paid ÷ clicks.
8. We never handle the sale
Shoppers buy directly from sellers. Price, delivery, quality and returns are between the shopper and the seller. Questions? See the FAQ.
