What is the LocalZ Marketplace?

The LocalZ Marketplace is a centralized platform where approved vendors can list and sell products directly to customers. Each vendor has access to their own store dashboard to manage products, orders, and payouts.

The Marketplace is designed to:

• Provide a space for local businesses to sell products online

• Allow customers to browse, compare, and purchase from multiple vendors in one place

• Centralize shipping policies and customer service standards for a consistent buyer experience

Vendors can:

• Set up a public storefront with a custom banner, logo, and business description

• Add, edit, and organize products into categories

• Track and manage orders from customers

• Process returns and refunds where applicable

• Monitor payouts and view earnings

• All products must include free shipping to the customer

• Vendors are responsible for calculating and including shipping costs in the product price

• Vendors should use a shipping calculator or service to determine average shipping costs

• Orders must be fulfilled within the time frame specified in your store settings

• Payments from customers are collected by LocalZ

• Vendor payouts are processed on a scheduled basis after order completion

• Commission fees and payout timelines are outlined in the Vendor Terms & Conditions

• Have a claimed business listing in the LocalZ Directory
