Before you start
Registration takes about five minutes if you have four things to hand.
- Your brand's website and Instagram handle
- The range: how many products, the retail price band, where you sell today
- How you ship: dispatch time, where stock is held, and whether samples are possible
- Who is applying: a name, a role, an email we can reply to
The five steps
The registration at orus.uk/partners/apply is five steps and about five minutes. It saves on your device as you go, so you can leave and come back, and nothing is sent until the review step. Nothing is uploaded at this stage: no images, no documents, no bank details. Those come with portal access.
- 1 · Your brand: name, website, where you are based, Instagram
- 2 · Your range: where it fits, how many lines, the price band, a few lines on the range, certifications
- 3 · Shipping and stock: how you ship, dispatch time, where stock sits, the markets you can sell in
- 4 · You: name, role, email, phone
- 5 · Review and send: everything in one place, with Edit on each step, and the offer restated before you send
You get a reference when it lands, to quote if you write to us.
What we check
Every product on ORUS was reviewed before it was listed, and yours will be too. We look at three things: whether the range fits sleep, move or restore; whether the quality, efficacy and relevance meet the bar the shop already sets; and whether you can ship inside the dispatch time you said. We do not check volume. A brand with six products and one warehouse shop is as welcome as one with sixty.
The five days after
We reply within five working days with your rate and your return terms, in writing. Your rate is usually 20% for wellness products; technology, devices and larger equipment are rated separately. Nothing goes live until you have agreed it.
Then portal access. You load your listings, we write the editorial page for each, and you launch, usually inside two weeks of applying.
Questions at this step
Do I need a company to apply?
You need a brand and a way to ship it. Sole traders are welcome. We ask for a registered business name when we set up payouts, not before.
Can I apply for more than one brand?
Yes, one application per brand, because each range is reviewed and rated on its own.
What if my products are not sleep, move or restore?
Tell us anyway in the range section. If it belongs in the wellness basket we will find where it sits; if it does not, we will say so within the five days rather than list it somewhere it will not sell.
