Additional features
Who receives the buyer's money at checkout?
Osclass Pay collects the payment on the marketplace. You then settle each seller from payout batches. It is not an automatic split to every vendor at the moment of sale.
How do sellers get paid their share?
Payouts builds review batches of what each seller is owed. You pay those batches. The plugin does not wire money to sellers by itself.
Does each vendor get a shop page automatically?
Business Profile gives each seller a company page with their listings. You still create seller accounts after install and point them at that profile.
Are offers and ratings already in the recommended list?
Yes. Make Offer, Instant Messenger, and User Rating start selected so buyers can negotiate and leave feedback on the site.
Payments starts switched on. Can I still uncheck it?
Yes. This page starts with Osclass Pay and Payouts because most multi-vendor sites need them. Uncheck Payments if you only want listings and storefronts for now.
Is Osclass Pay enough, or do I still buy a gateway?
Osclass Pay includes bank transfer and Wallet pay. Card or PayPal checkout needs a separate gateway plugin such as Stripe or PayPal Advanced.
Can vendors sell both physical goods and services?
Yes. Categories and listing fields decide what they sell. The storefront, chat, offers, and payout flow stay the same.
