Marketplace Payment Pilot
The live pilot keeps payment simple. The goal is to let a buyer choose a quote, create an order, and make the order payment-ready while production remains on hold.
Pilot scope
Card payment and escrow are not included in the live pilot.
Pilot flow
- The buyer compares quotes.
- The buyer chooses one quote.
- An order is created with nested payment and production hold fields.
- Operations confirms the payment readiness and payment status.
- Payment confirmation releases the hold as
production_ready_after_payment. - PrintTalk, print-shop bridge jobs, PDF Tools, Edge Hub, XJDF execution, and fulfillment remain out of scope for this phase.
Supported pilot methods
- Bank transfer
- Open account
- Proforma or invoice-based payment
- Manual payment approval by operations
Not promised in this phase
- Card checkout
- Platform-held escrow funds
- Automatic payment provider integration
- Automatic refund or payment dispute screens
- Automatic production or handoff after payment confirmation
These may come in a later phase. They are not part of the current live pilot promise.
