On Payments
Does every transaction require an online payment via Salt-trading.com?
No, when posting a new listing, you have two options: sell with or without online payment. In the latter case, both parties, buyer and seller, agree on the payment details.
Do we have the choice between different payment providers?
No, if a seller opts for online payment, Stripe is the single payment provider offered.
Why is Stripe the payment provider of choice on Salt-trading.com?
Stripe supports 200+ countries, 25+ currencies, and dozens of global payment methods. Its fraud prevention features and the unique payment release process upon buyer confirmation make it the ideal choice for secure transactions.
Once a transaction is concluded, you will receive your payment through one of the following actions:
- The transaction is manually marked as completed by the buyer: As soon as the buyer confirms the successful completion of the transaction, you will receive your payment without delay.
- The transaction is manually marked as completed by the Salt-Trading.com admin: In cases where buyer confirmation may be delayed, our admin team will ensure a smooth process by manually marking the transaction as completed, promptly releasing your funds.
- 90 days have passed since the seller accepted the transaction request, without any feedback from the buyer: If there is no response from the buyer within the 90-day period, your payment will still be processed. Our team will manually ensure you receive the rightful compensation for your sale.
What happens when a buyer does not acknowledge the goods via Stripe?
In such cases, rest assured that Salt-Trading.com will act diligently to resolve any discrepancies. We will promptly reach out to the buyer, requesting the necessary evidence to validate the transaction. Our aim is to ensure a fair and transparent process for all parties involved. If, despite our efforts, satisfactory evidence cannot be provided, you can count on Salt-Trading.com to protect your interests. We will release the payment to the seller, ensuring that you are rightfully compensated.
