Mandate

For merchants

Let shopping agents pay your store

Shopping agents pay your store from the shopper's PayPal account, and only inside rules the shopper set. You receive a signed record of every order, and you can answer refund requests and PayPal disputes with that record. To be paid, your store tells the gateway who it is. That takes two steps and no account.

  1. Start

    Ownership not proved

    Someone entered the store's address, but the store has not shown that it owns the site. It cannot be paid.

    How: Enter the store's address in the merchant portal.

  2. After step 2

    Registered

    The store proved it owns its website and named the PayPal account to pay. Allowed only by mandates that name the store or accept any registered store.

    How: The store publishes a file on its own site, and the gateway reads it.

  3. After review

    Verified

    Reviewed and approved by the people who run this gateway. Mandates that say “known merchants only” allow these and nothing else.

    How: Granted by the gateway's operator after a review. A store cannot give it to itself.

Step 1 of 2

Where is your store?

A public https address. Product pages under it become purchasable once you have proved you own the site.

Stores managed from this browser

A store's token and its agent sales are shown only in the browser that proved it owns the site. On a new browser, register the same address again: you get a fresh token, and publishing it moves the store to that browser.

None yet. Register an address above to get your ownership token.

Demand that had nowhere to go

Where agents looked and could not buy

When no joined store has what a shopper asked for, the assistant looks across the wider web. In the last 14 days it found 22 products at stores that have not joined, so it could only tell the shopper where to look. If one of these is yours, registering above is what turns those into paid orders.
