Marketplace FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does our marketplace need a separate banking license to hold funds?

No. SmartGates operates compliant escrow and client-segregated accounts in full accordance with PSD2 and global payments legislation. Your marketplace remains compliant without the costly overhead of obtaining your own financial license.

How does escrow work if a buyer requests a partial refund?

Our split ledger dynamically recalculates the balance. You can trigger an instant partial or full refund through the API; the refunded portion returns to the buyer's original payment method while adjusting vendor balances and commissions automatically.

How fast do vendors receive payouts?

Depending on the chosen payout rail, funds reach vendor accounts instantly (via card payouts or SEPA Instant) or within 1 business day for standard local bank transfers.

What are the fees for marketplace processing?

We offer tiered volume-based pricing with no setup charges or hidden maintenance fees. As your monthly Gross Merchandise Volume (GMV) increases, per-transaction and payout fees decrease automatically.
