How money moves on a platform

What a marketplace is from a payments point of view

A regular store takes money for its own goods. A platform takes money for someone else's, and the payment does not end there

Many sellers under one storefront

The buyer sees one brand and one cart, while the goods and services in it belong to different sellers: companies, sole proprietors and private contractors. The platform accepts the payment.

Splitting the amount

From every payment the platform keeps its commission, and the rest is due to the seller. The platform sets the splitting rules: a percentage, a fixed amount, different terms for different categories.

Payouts to sellers

The amounts due go to sellers as bulk card payouts: by register from the dashboard or by event via the API, to one seller or to everyone at once for a period.

Safe deal

For platforms with services and private sellers: the buyer's money is held until the order is confirmed as fulfilled, and only then goes to the seller.

Payment on the storefront

One payment form for all sellers on the platform

The buyer pays for the whole order at once, even if the items come from three different sellers. The form opens on the site, in the app or on a MulenPay page and accepts Visa, Mastercard and MIR cards, SBP by QR code, SberPay and T-Pay. Cards from overseas banks are enabled separately.

Ready-made payment form

Embedded with the widget or called through the API. Colours, fonts and the order of payment methods are tailored to the platform's brand so the buyer does not notice the handover to payment.

  • Colours and fonts to match the platform's brand
  • On the site, in the app or on a MulenPay page

Payment flow

How a payment goes through a marketplace

From the buyer's payment to money on the seller's card

1. The buyer pays for the order

Picks a method in the payment form and confirms the payment: via 3-D Secure for a card or in the banking app for SBP.

2. The platform receives the status

A webhook arrives on your server, the order in the platform's system is marked as paid, and the seller sees it in their section.

3. The seller fulfils the order

Ships the goods or provides the service. If safe deal is enabled, the money is still being held at this point.

4. The platform settles

Keeps its commission and sends the seller a payout to their card. The payout status also arrives as a webhook.

Onboarding

How acquiring for a marketplace is connected

A platform almost always integrates through the API: it has its own logic for orders, sellers and settlements

REST API

Creating a payment, requesting a status, a refund and a payout: every operation is available through the REST API. Documentation with request examples is open at docs.mulenpay.com.

Webhooks

Notifications about payments, refunds and payouts arrive on your server so the platform does not have to poll statuses by hand.

Refunds

A full or partial refund for a specific operation from the dashboard or via the API: for example, when one item in an order is cancelled.

Form or widget

If you would rather not build the payment form yourself, the widget connects with one script, and the API stays for statuses and payouts.

Receipts

54-FZ receipts on a marketplace

Who issues the receipt to the buyer, the platform or the seller, depends on your working model: discuss it with your manager during onboarding

Cloud online cash register

Receipts are issued by a cloud online cash register that we connect together with payment acceptance. The platform needs no hardware of its own.

A receipt for every payment

The receipt goes to the buyer automatically after a successful payment; nothing has to be issued by hand.

Receipts next to operations

Every receipt is stored in the dashboard together with the payment and can be downloaded when the buyer or your accountants ask for it.

Terms

Who it is for

Which platforms connect marketplace acquiring

Any model where the buyer pays the platform and the money is due to someone else

Services marketplace

Repairs, cleaning, tutors, craftspeople: the customer pays the platform upfront, the contractor receives a payout once the work is confirmed. Safe deal covers disputed cases.

Delivery aggregator

Orders from many restaurants and stores in one app: a single buyer payment, settlement with the venue and the courier by payouts at the end of the day.

Platform with private sellers

Goods from individuals: the buyer pays the platform by card, the money is held until the goods are received, then goes to the seller's card.

Dashboard

Payments and payouts of every seller in one dashboard

A platform needs to see not only how much buyers paid, but also how much went to sellers and how much it kept

  • Analytics

    Platform turnover, the share of each payment method and form conversion for any period.

  • Operations and payouts

    Payments, refunds and payouts to sellers with statuses, register exports for reconciliation with sellers.

Security

Buyers' data never passes through the platform

Card details are entered in the MulenPay form and never reach the platform's servers, so the platform needs no certification of its own. Payment data protection is confirmed by a PCI DSS 4.0.1 certificate, and card payments are confirmed via 3-D Secure.

Questions and answers

Frequently asked questions about marketplace acquiring

The buyer's payment goes to the platform in full. The platform then keeps its commission under its own rules and sends the seller their share as a card payout: by register from the dashboard or automatically via the API. The splitting rules live on the platform's side, so they can be changed without reconfiguring acquiring.
