Sale proceeds settle to you
Stripe sends the destination-charge proceeds to your connected garden-centre account using your merchant identity.
How it works · Vendor marketplace
Multiple sources. One checkout. Your store stays in control.
Sell products from your store, another location, or an approved supplier in one customer experience. Your garden centre remains the merchant of record for every sale.
The flow
Four steps from order to settlement
What happens when a customer orders products fulfilled by more than one source.
- Step 1
Customer adds items
They choose products from your store and approved suppliers in one familiar storefront.
- Step 2
One checkout
They pay once, receive one order number, and get one confirmation branded as your garden centre.
- Step 3
Fulfillment is routed
Your team and each supplier receive only the order details and items they are responsible for fulfilling.
- Step 4
The sale settles to your store
Your connected Stripe account receives the sale proceeds. BloomSuite keeps its application fee, and vendor balances are recorded for your settlement process.
Multi-source fulfillment
Some items from your store. Some from a trusted supplier.
BloomSites handles the routing when parts of an order come from different places. Your customer sees one clear purchase. Your team sees the items it handles, and each supplier receives only what it needs to fulfill.
You can choose the fulfillment source product by product. A bestselling annual from your own inventory can sit beside a specialty plant supplied by a marketplace vendor without creating a second storefront or checkout.
Store, location, or vendor
Choose the fulfillment source for each product and combine sources inside one order.
Vendors see only their items
Supplier notifications contain only the products and details that supplier needs.
Your team keeps the customer relationship
The storefront, customer communication, and order experience remain under your garden-centre brand.
One customer checkout
The customer still sees one simple checkout.
Even when an order touches your store, another location, and a supplier, the customer fills one cart and pays once. They get one order number and one confirmation email branded as your garden centre.
The garden centre is the merchant of record. The payment uses your connected Stripe account, business identity, statement descriptor, and tax registrations. BloomSites provides the storefront, order routing, CRM record, and application-fee infrastructure behind the scenes.
One cart, one card
Customers add items from any approved source and pay once. There are no surprise extra checkouts.
Your merchant identity
Your garden centre is identified as the seller on the payment and customer receipt.
BloomSites stays behind the scenes
BloomSites powers the transaction and retains its application fee without replacing your business as the seller.
Settlement model
Your sale does not pass through BloomSites as the seller.
The money movement follows the same ownership model as the customer experience: your garden centre makes the sale, BloomSuite provides the platform, and supplier amounts remain visible obligations for your business to settle.
BloomSuite retains its fee
The platform keeps the configured application fee. It does not receive the full sale and then pay your store later.
Vendor balances stay accountable
Vendor costs are recorded against the order. Until an authorized vendor-payment rail is added, your garden centre pays its suppliers.
Stripe Connect
Your sales settle to your connected Stripe account.
Your connected Stripe account is the settlement destination for storefront sales. Stripe pays out to the bank account and on the schedule your business has configured.
Complete Stripe onboarding, activate Stripe Tax, and maintain the registrations required for the places where you sell. BloomSites does not silently substitute its own tax registrations or merchant identity for yours.
Your connected account
The account, business identity, payout bank, and statement descriptor belong to your garden centre.
Your tax registrations
Stripe Tax calculations use the registrations configured for your connected account.
BloomSuite application fee
The platform fee is retained transparently as part of the connected-account payment flow.
