The challenge

What this sector deals with today.

Marketplace operators collect money from buyers and owe money to sellers — at scale, across hundreds or thousands of transactions. Without a purpose-built infrastructure, collecting at that scale means reconciling individual payments to individual orders manually, and paying out to sellers becomes a batch operation that introduces delay, error and compliance exposure.

As a marketplace grows, the gap between what has been collected and what has been paid out becomes harder to track — and harder to evidence. Regulatory and investor scrutiny of how buyer funds are held and disbursed is increasing, and a pooled account with manual reconciliation is increasingly insufficient as an answer.

1

Onboarding · KYB

Onboard sellers quickly. Every one checked, every one evidenced.

Every seller in your marketplace is onboarded through an automated KYB flow — sent by link, completed by the seller, with identity and business checks running in the background. Each approved seller gets their own payment account.

  • KYB onboarding link sent by email — sellers complete checks themselves, no manual data collection

  • Automated business verification — company registration, UBO screening and sanctions checks

  • Each approved seller issued a dedicated payment account for their net proceeds

  • Onboarding status visible in the portal — pending, in review, active — with full audit trail

Pay-in · Rule-based splits

Buyer payment collected. Platform fee and seller proceeds split at source.

When a buyer pays, the funds arrive and a pre-configured split rule fires immediately: the platform's commission is separated from the seller's net proceeds at the moment the payment clears — no pooling, no manual separation.

  • SEPA CT, SEPA Instant or card-acquiring — payment collected and ring-fenced per order

  • Split rule executes at source: platform fee to your account, net proceeds held for seller

  • Split percentages configurable per seller tier, product category or promotion

  • Every split logged with the rule version applied — defensible at transaction level

Pay-out · Reconciliation

Pay every seller on time, with every flow reconciled.

On your chosen schedule — daily, weekly, on demand — the payout run executes outbound SEPA transfers to each seller's registered account. Every disbursement is traceable to its originating order.

  • Payout runs configured per programme — automatic or manually triggered from the portal

  • SEPA CT and SEPA Instant to each seller's registered account — per their settlement preference

  • Every payout reconciled to the order and the original buyer payment

  • Full seller statement available in the portal — exportable in standard formats

Split at source

Platform fee and seller proceeds are separated the moment the buyer pays — no pooled float, no end-of-day manual separation.

Every seller has their own account

Each seller's net proceeds are held in a dedicated account. No cross-contamination, no allocation required, every balance visible in real time.

Audit-ready from buyer to seller

Every flow — collection, split, disbursement — is logged with its compliance context. A full trail from buyer payment to seller receipt, per order.

Pre-built

Finished, not building blocks.

This workflow arrives pre-configured and ready to run. The IBANs, split rules, account hierarchy, onboarding flows and compliance controls are all in place — not a kit to assemble, but a finished proposition you deploy.

Compliance & evidence

Every marketplace capability runs under governed, audit-ready controls.

Payscape operates Control Cloud — our own governed compliance environment. We author, version-control, test and deploy every compliance rule ourselves; the configuration is never outsourced. Every account event, IBAN assignment, transfer and transaction is recorded with its compliance context — screening status, monitoring outcome and the version of the rule Payscape applied — so you can show your working to a regulator, auditor or investor at any point.

  • Payscape version-controls every rule — every change reviewed, approved and deployed by us

  • Audit trail per event — not just the transaction but the compliance decision

  • Safeguarding reconciled daily — client funds matched and confirmed automatically

  • Reporting out of the box — pre-built statements and extracts in standard formats
