The steps, in order

How to get started

  1. Read Pick n Pay's Small business development page and its Small Supplier Toolkit.
  2. For small-business and supplier-development enquiries, email smallbusiness@pnp.co.za (printed on Pick n Pay's contact page).
  3. To ask to supply a product, use the 'requests to supply products' email on the same contact page.
  4. If selected, Pick n Pay onboards you. We could not confirm the onboarding steps.

Have these ready

Documents and information

  • Standard company, tax and B-BBEE documents, and food-safety certification for food. The details come from Pick n Pay at onboarding.

Be realistic

What to expect

Pick n Pay says its programme assists selected businesses. Selection is competitive, so prepare a clear, retail-ready product story.

Watch out for scams. Our advice, not an official warning: only apply on the company's own website, and never pay a person to 'get you approved'.
What we could not confirm. The onboarding steps and any supplier portal: Pick n Pay's supplier pages did not load for us. Pick n Pay's terms forbid copying its site content, so we link instead of reproducing it.
