Top Store is the premium status of stores on Joom platform. Based on high performance metrics, it has become a guarantee of growing purchase rate and customers' instant trust.

Any regular store is encouraged to apply to be a Top Store if it meets all the requirements stated down below. We highly recommend you to benefit from the privileges that we provide exclusively to the merchants of high merit.

For more visual information about the Top Stores ecosystem, please refer to the introduction video below.

Why do I need the Top Store status?

⭐️ There are Exclusive Privileges only available for Top Stores:

• Product Video: give more detailed information about your product;
• Product Groups: customise the way that the products are grouped in the store page;
• Influencer Program: get more detailed reviews from our experienced bloggers;
• Individualised promotions: create your own promotions that are most suitable for your products; 
• Discount for subscription: attract more followers by offering a discount;

Some other advantages:

• Top Stores get additional traffic due to the optimised way they get displayed in the Joom app - grouped by specialisation in a separate tab, highlighted in search results.
• The Top store status is highlighted in the product page, so that  it could leave an impression on the customers and boost the whole store’s sales.
