01
Seller and buyer structure
Define whether the platform is agent, reseller, merchant of record or technical marketplace, and where buyers, sellers and the platform entity are located.
Marketplace payment infrastructure
Match the provider to the marketplace funds flow.
Marketplace payments depend on who sells, who collects, who holds funds and who pays each participant. OfferPSP maps the operating and regulatory model before identifying relevant provider routes.
Send a private payment briefWhat we evaluate
Marketplace requirements that change the match
A standard merchant account may not support submerchant onboarding, split settlement or platform payouts. The funds flow must be explicit.
02
Onboarding and verification
Seller KYB/KYC, beneficial ownership, sanctions screening, document collection and ongoing monitoring shape the provider requirements.
03
Collection, split and payout
The brief should show who receives funds, when fees are deducted, whether balances are held and how sellers are paid.
04
Reconciliation and control
Transaction-level reporting, refunds, disputes, reserves, payout status and ledger exports need to support the platform’s finance and support teams.
Matching inputs
Document the marketplace flow
Specific, current information improves the quality of every provider conversation.

Questions
What businesses usually ask
Can a normal e-commerce PSP support a marketplace?
Sometimes, but only if the provider supports the actual platform model. Submerchant onboarding, split funds or third-party payouts often require a specific marketplace product and contract.
Does OfferPSP decide whether our model is legally compliant?
No. We collect the operating facts needed for provider matching. Legal classification and regulatory advice must come from qualified counsel and the provider’s compliance team.
Can sellers be paid in different currencies?
Potentially, depending on provider coverage, seller location, settlement rules and the platform model. Currency availability should be confirmed for each payout route.
Can the matching cover both buyer acceptance and seller payouts?
Yes. We treat collection and payout as distinct flows so that a provider is not assumed to support both merely because one side is available.
