How It Works
GSR ASEAN Connect is a verified B2B marketplace for agricultural and aquaculture trade across Southeast Asia. Here is how sellers and buyers use the platform.
Seller Onboarding Workflow
Products are not published automatically. Every seller profile and product listing must be reviewed and approved by our team before going live.
Approval required before products go live
Submitting a product listing does not immediately publish it. Our compliance team reviews every listing to ensure accuracy, quality, and regulatory compliance. This typically takes 1–3 business days.
1. Sign Up
Create a GSR ASEAN Connect account with your business email. Verify your email to activate your account.
2. Choose a Plan
Select a membership tier (Basic, Professional, or Enterprise) to unlock seller features and set your listing quota.
3. Complete Profile
Fill in your company details, business registration number, product categories, and contact information.
4. Upload Products
Add product listings with descriptions, pricing, certifications, and images. Submit for admin review.
5. Admin Review
Our compliance team verifies your profile and each product. Review takes 1–3 business days. You'll be notified by email.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is admin approval required?
Approval ensures that all sellers are legitimate businesses and all products meet our quality and compliance standards. This protects buyers from fraudulent listings and maintains the integrity of the marketplace.
How long does approval take?
Seller profile review typically takes 1–2 business days. Each product listing takes 1–3 business days. Professional and Enterprise members receive priority review.
What happens if my product is rejected?
You will receive an email with specific feedback explaining why the listing was rejected and what changes are needed. You can update the listing and resubmit for review.
Can I edit a product after it is approved?
Yes, but significant changes (such as price, description, or certifications) will require re-approval before the updated listing goes live.
Do I need a paid membership to sell?
Yes, a paid membership is required to access seller features. All three tiers (Basic, Professional, Enterprise) allow product listings, with higher tiers offering more listings and faster review.
