Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi and HONOR are brands in high demand on credit. We explain how to build your catalog and confirm each model before financing it.

Samsung, Xiaomi, Redmi and HONOR are among the brands most requested by people buying on credit. To sell them with peace of mind, the best approach is to build a catalog with confirmed compatibility: knowing which models you are going to finance before offering them at the counter.

In this article we explain how to do it, step by step, so that every device leaving your store is protected.

Summary: choose your best-selling models, confirm them before you start and test them in your store with a real device. That way you sell with confidence and your staff knows what to offer.

How to build your credit catalog

  1. Start from your sales. Make a list of the models people ask for most.
  2. Group them by brand and range. This will help you plan purchases and installments.
  3. Confirm your list before you start. With Shalom Trust, we review your catalog's models with you.
  4. Test in your store. Go through the full cycle with a real device.
  5. Update the catalog. Every time you add a new model, confirm it before financing it.

Which models to prioritize

BrandWhy it belongs in your catalog
SamsungA highly recognized brand, with options in several ranges
XiaomiVery sought after for its balance of price and features
RedmiAn accessible option for low installments
HONORAn alternative with a growing presence

Start with the models that already move in your store: they are the ones that will give you volume from the first month.

How to test a model in your store

Before offering a model to your customers, test a device with this sequence:

  1. Prepare the device with the guided process.
  2. Check in the dashboard that it appears with the correct IMEI.
  3. Send a lock over Wi-Fi and over mobile data.
  4. Send an unlock and check that the device returns to normal.
  5. Write down the result in a record for each model.

Common mistakes

  • Testing one model and generalizing to the whole brand. Confirm each model separately.
  • Testing only over Wi-Fi. Many customers use mobile data.
  • Offering a new model without confirming it. Do this before adding it to the credit catalog.
