Questions to ask about an offered checkout
- Who is the seller and merchant of record?
- Which bank or provider approved the arrangement?
- How is your business identified and underwritten?
- Are all actual products disclosed?
- Who holds funds, manages disputes and carries contractual liability?
Do not conceal the business
Using someone else's account to hide your products or seller identity can violate provider and network rules and create serious legal risk. Have unclear arrangements reviewed before using them.
Scale's role
We make introductions. We do not run a buyer's sales through our merchant account or act as a payment facilitator.
