1 · Buyer pays
Checkout captures the buyer’s payment for the line items in that order. You see the order in Seller orders with status moving from paid → shipped → delivered as you update fulfilment.
How you get paid
Buyers pay into the order flow first. Your balance moves toward a payout after the order is in a “released” state — usually when both you and the buyer confirm delivery/hand‑off in Seller orders (escrow-style path on the API).
Where your money is sent (Stripe Connect)
Loading…
VibeCart pays the seller share to a Stripe Connect connected account
you control (that account holds your bank details in Stripe). Paste the Connect account ID from Stripe Dashboard → Connect → Accounts
(it always starts with acct_).
2 · Confirm both sides
Open each order and use the confirmation actions when the parcel is on the way and when it is received. Settlement logic on the server uses those confirmations before marking funds as releasable.
3 · Payout to your bank
When Stripe Connect is enabled on the host, you complete Connect onboarding once; payouts then follow Stripe’s schedule to your linked account. If Connect is not configured yet, funds can remain in a “pending release” state — your operator still sees the same order timeline.
Fees & taxes
Platform or processing fees (if any) should be shown at checkout when wired. You remain responsible for VAT / sales tax and income reporting where you trade.
