How do I get paid?

Payouts on MelanMark are processed up to 14 days after a customer’s payment is received. To receive your funds, you’ll need to connect a Stripe account during setup. Stripe is our secure payment processor and allows you to receive payouts directly to your bank.

For new vendors, the initial 14-day delay helps us protect against fraud, reduce chargeback risks, and ensure the integrity of the marketplace. It’s a standard industry practice, especially for newer platforms, and allows us to keep things fair and secure for all buyers and sellers.

As your shop grows and your account builds a history of successful orders, you may become eligible for faster payouts depending on Stripe’s review and risk assessment process.

This structure not only keeps things running smoothly — it also supports the long-term health of the platform, so every vendor can grow with confidence.

Can I link to my own website or social media?

To keep the marketplace fair and focused, vendors are not allowed to direct customers to purchase off-platform or include external website links. This helps ensure all traffic, visibility, and sales stay within MelanMark — giving every vendor a greater chance to be discovered. By keeping everything in one place, we amplify exposure for all shops, create a stronger collective presence, and foster a community where everyone has the opportunity to grow and thrive together.
