Introduction

Nuvei’s marketplaces solution combines Nuvei acquiring services with Nuvei for Platforms to provide seller onboarding, split funding, and payouts. You process customer payments through Nuvei acquiring and Nuvei for Platforms manages how funds are split between your marketplace and your sellers, keeps track of balances, and compliantly pays out funds.

For new implementations, Nuvei for Platforms documentation provides an architectural overview of sign-up, onboarding of sellers, splitting of payments, and management of funds and payouts. See How Nuvei Platforms Works.

Onboarding and KYC

Onboard your shops and sellers in Nuvei’s KYC system to enable them to receive funds. Each seller is created as an account holder and linked to your main marketplace account. Nuvei performs KYC checks before payouts can be made.

  • For full onboarding and KYC details including legal entities, virtual accounts and KYC tiers, see Nuvei for Platforms documentation, in ‘How Nuvei Platforms Works’ > ‘Introduction‘, in the ‘Onboard sellers’ section.
  • When integrating via API, for the complete structure of seller and account holder objects, in Nuvei for Platforms API documentation see ‘Account Holders API Reference‘.

Payment Processing

Nuvei authorizes and processes payments (cards and alternative payment methods) for orders that may involve multiple sellers. These payments are later reconciled and made available for splitting and payout via Nuvei for Platforms.

To understand how reconciled transactions become splitable balances, in Nuvei Platforms documentation see ‘Split payments‘.

Payment Distribution and Settlement

For each transaction, you define how funds should be split between your marketplace and participating sellers. Nuvei for Platforms reconciles incoming funds from your PSP(s) and applies your split instructions so that each seller and the marketplace receive the correct share.

Implementation details, including split structures, labels (fees, VAT, etc.) and reconciliation flow are described in Nuvei Platforms documentation in ‘Split payments‘.

Financial Management

Nuvei helps reconcile refunds, chargebacks, and other financial movements between the marketplace, sellers, and customers. You can manage balances, fees, and corrections, and access detailed reporting and invoices.

Billing and Funding

Nuvei generates marketplace and seller settlement reports, calculates fees and net payable amounts, and orchestrates payouts to sellers once they are fully onboarded and have a positive balance.

  • For how balances are paid out (manual and scheduled payouts, payout statuses and FX), in Nuvei for Platforms documentation see ‘Payouts’ > ‘Introduction‘.
  • If you want to explicitly connect to the API, when triggering payouts programmatically, in the Nuvei for Platforms API reference documentation, see ‘Account Holders‘ for the complete account holder and balance structure.
