Verification

Once your listing has been published, your seller account will need to be verified with Stripe Connect in order for your listings to be purchasable by the buyers. To get verified you will receive a notification, or you can navigate to your ->Account Settings->Payout Details->Edit Stripe Account.

Fill out all the required information, this process is quick and secure, protecting your personal information.

Stripe needs to know the bank to send the funds to if a buyer was to buy now. Verifying with Stripe not only prevents fraud, but also ensures faster and secure transactions building trust with users. It makes our marketplace safer when buyers know that they are buying from legitimate sellers and not just anyone who can make a profile.

Once you have filled out the required information click the "Confirm and pay" button to complete the order.

Step One (Buyer)

Here's how our transaction process works! The buyer can use the message box below when completing an order or when an order is placed to send messages to the seller.

Step Two (Seller)

When we switch to the seller's dashboard, we can see that the seller has a notification (message) in the inbox. When we open it up, we can see that the buyer has made an order and that there is a message confirming the purchase.

We can use the same message box to communicate with the buyer regarding the order.

When the seller is ready, they need to confirm that the order has been shipped on our system by pressing the "I've shipped this order" button on the right side.

Step Three (Buyer)

Now when we switch back to the buyer's interface, we can see that the buyer has received messages from confirming that the order has been shipped with the shipping details.

Now all the buyer needs to do check their order and confirm that the purchased item is in the described condition. If there is a problem with the order, a dispute can be lodged before any money is released to the seller. Allowing both parties to reach a settlement if required.

The dispute link is right below the "I've received my order" button on the right side.

When the buyer is happy with the received item all they need to do is click the "I've received my order" button. Once the buyer confirms the order the money will be released to the seller. The deal is now complete!
