Reseller Startup Options

The Papillon Business Opportunity requires no registration fee and no major upfront investment, other than purchasing a Startup Option.

To become a Papillon Reseller, you must purchase one Startup Option. We offer three Startup Options, designed to suit different needs and budgets.

Choose from 3 Startup Options:

Reseller Starter Option 1

R800.00

Reseller Starter Option 2

R1000.00

Reseller Starter Option 3

R1800.00

Important note about testers: All Startup Options include a tester kit with 5ml testers of the actual Papillon Perfume Products.

These testers are not for resale and replacement 5mls can be purchased from the Reseller Online Shop.

The testers (and any Tester Kit) are provided as a sales and marketing tool to help you introduce the fragrances to customers and generate orders for full-size products.

Startup Options 2 and 3 include 30ml perfumes of our top-selling fragrances, giving you the opportunity to start earning immediately by selling them for a profit. These two Startup Options are a once-off offer, designed to help you get started with confidence. Once you’ve sold the stock included in your Startup Option, you can simply place all future orders through the Reseller Online Store and continue growing your business.

Once you have purchased your chosen Startup Option, you will gain access to the Reseller Online Shop, which offers:

Reseller-only volume discounted prices
Secure online ordering and payment
Access to your order history
Ability to update contact and delivery information
Free access to marketing tools and marketing images

How to buy and sell?

There are no commissions, sales targets, complex demotion rules, or multi-level structures. You purchase Papillon products at wholesale (volume-discounted) prices and sell them to your customers for a profit.

There are two simple ways to run your business:

Option 1: Order on demand

Use your tester kit to take monthly orders from your customers.
Once orders are collected, place and pay for your order on the Reseller Online Shop. When your products arrive, simply deliver them to your customers.

Option 2: Keep stock on hand

Maintain your own stock so you can fulfil customer orders immediately.
You can take advantage of PayFlex or PayJustNow interest-free payment options, allowing you to stock up first and repay as you sell your products.

All orders must be placed through our online shop and paid in full before we can dispatch them. If you choose to pay with PayFlex or PayJustNow, your order will be dispatched once credit is approved. You will receive a confirmation of your order with your courier details and tracking number.

Easy payment options
You can pay for your orders using the following methods:

PayNow: Utilize Payfast, our secure online payment solution.
PayLater: Choose PayFlex or PayJustNow to make interest-free payments over time.
Manual Payment: Make payments via your banking app or cash deposits at your local FNB ATM.

PayFlex offers an easy, interest-free payment plan over six weeks. Here’s how it works:

When you place your order, you pay 25% of the total amount upfront.
The remaining balance is divided into three equal payments.
These payments are automatically deducted from your bank account every two weeks.

So, you make four payments in total: one at the time of the order and three more every two weeks. Your order will be sent to you once credit is approved and the first instalment is successful. Learn more by clicking here.

PayJustNow offers an easy, interest-free payment plan over three months. Here’s how it works:

When you place your order, you pay a third of the total amount upfront.
The remaining balance is divided into two equal payments.
These payments are automatically deducted on the 25th of the following 2 months.

So, you make three payments in total: one at the time of the order and two more monthly payments. Your order will be sent to you once credit is approved and first installment was successful. Learn more by clicking here.

Why sell Papillon perfume and products?

Huge Market– with potential customers from all demographics (age, sex, education level, income level and race)

Our products are on average 5 times less expensive than original branded products but of comparable quality. It is important to note that this is a word-of-mouth product (the quality and value proposition, therefore, sells the product).
Top-quality– we only source the highest quality compounds for all our products.
Flexibility of our business model– low start-up costs: for as little as R800 (Inc. VAT and delivery, nationally only), you can:

How do I take care of my Tester kit?

Here’s a few tips on taking care of your tester kit:

When you are not using your kit, store it in a cool, dark place.
Additional kit items can be purchased if you run out.
When a client requests to smell a fragrance rather offer to spray it yourself onto a smelling strip and then if requested on the client. This will avoid excessive use of your tester material.
The best place to spray is on the inner wrists and avoid spraying on jewellery.

Remember to take your customer’s contact details so that you can keep them updated with specials and news. Take records of all orders and payments so that you can keep track of who has ordered what and who has paid.

On purchasing, how long will it take for my purchase to be delivered to me and who carries the cost?
