Marketplace

Marketplace puts your shop on shop.datastore.ge and in its mobile app, where shoppers search the products of every datastore.ge shop at once, filter them by price, shop, collection and options, and buy them with their marketplace account (email, Google or Facebook). It is off until you switch it on.

#How it works

• The marketplace shows your active products, the same ones your storefront shows. Hidden products stay off it.
• Prices are your own. Products priced in another currency are compared in lari at the day's rate.
• The order lands in Orders like any other, marked with where the shopper came from. Card payments go to your own bank account, through your Bank of Georgia or TBC connection, as usual.
• A shopper's cart holds products from several shops, but each shop is checked out on its own.

#The marketplace fee

• The 2% is counted on the full amount the shopper paid. Your bank's own commission is not taken off first, and your bank still charges it as usual.
• Cash orders owe nothing, and neither do orders from shoppers who reach your shop any other way (your own link, social media, search engines).
• If an order is cancelled before its fee is invoiced, the fee is dropped.
