🌟 About Aladdinmall

Aladdinmall is a zero-commission e-commerce platform designed to help small and micro businesses sell online — for free. From food trucks and auto repair shops to handmade goods and fresh seafood, we support all types of sellers with a mobile-friendly storefront, chat-enabled ordering, and secure payments.

Our mission is simple: make digital commerce accessible to everyone — no matter how small.

đź’Ľ The Role

As a Business Development Intern, you’ll directly grow our merchant base by helping local businesses join the platform.

Responsibilities:

  • Identify and reach out to local businesses
  • Introduce Aladdinmall’s free store solution
  • Help merchants register and publish their storefront
  • Guide them through Stripe onboarding (for payments/payouts)

đź’¸ Compensation

  • Interns earn based on results, starting at $20–$60 per onboarded merchant, plus bonuses for high-volume outreach, retention rewards, and leaderboard-based competitions.
  • Interns who help onboard over 100 businesses can qualify for $2000 milestone bonuses, and weekly sales performance is recognized through gamified rewards and team-based contests.

🔍 Who You Are

  • Based in the U.S. (any state)
  • A current student (any major)
  • Outgoing and self-driven
  • Passionate about startups, marketplaces, or social impact
  • Bonus: Ties to local communities or student organizations

🌱 What You’ll Gain

  • Real Impact from Day One – Help real merchants, solve real problems
  • CPT/OPT Support – Internship verification available if needed
  • Practical Skills – Exposure to Stripe, sales, growth, and GTM strategies
  • Mentorship – Work with professionals from top tech companies

🧪 Interview Process: Show, Don’t Tell

We evaluate candidates based on action, not just resumes. To apply, you’ll need to onboard one real business as part of the selection process.

  • Choose any business (e.g. moving service, cleaner, chef, nail artist, store)
  • Help them register at https://sell.aladdinmall.com
  • Ensure at least one product appears on https://www.aladdinmall.com

Once complete, we’ll issue your offer and get you started.

(Please make sure to include your latest resume when applying.)
