Registration form fields explained #

Esnaf has a detailed Registration Form for Vendors, this is part of our intricate and comprehensive vetting process. For simplicity, we’ll split the form in 3 parts along with screenshots. Grab a cup of chai or coffee and read on!

A. First Part of the form #

1. Username #

This is your “login” username. It’s NOT your Store Name, this username is ONLY used as a basic login credential along with your password. This is not an optional field – please don’t share your username or password with anyone else.

2. Email #

This is your email address – used for notifications / shop emails / communicating with customers and admins. Similar to the Username above, you can also login using this email address after registration. Both Username and Email can be used to log-in to Esnaf.

3. First & Last Name #

This can either be your Business name or your real name – based on how you run your shop.

4. Store Name #

This is THE most important field in the form. It generates a link for your store, for example – esnaf.art/store/YOURSTORENAMEHERE

A lot of members get confused with this field, not to worry.

Example 1: if your business is called “My Craft Shop” – you need to type “mycraftshop” in this field – which will result in your Esnaf Shop Link being esnaf.art/store/mycraftshop

Example 2: if your business is called “My Craft Shop” and you want your Esnaf Shop Link to have spaces and dashes – you need to type “my craft shop” in this field – which will result in your Esnaf Shop Link being esnaf.art/store/my-craft-shop
