Step by step
The Marketplace is ready for use as soon as you have set up a client account. To do this, you must register your means of payment with our payment service provider(Mangopay). A certified payment service provider manages the payment flows and is legally required.
With a client account, you can already place orders via the Marketplace. If required, a user account can be set up for individual users or a group account for user groups, via which the orders are then billed. Additional accounts can only be set up by an administrator.
All the steps for setting up an account are explained in a short video. You can find this video here.
To set up the client account, click as administrator in the menu bar on Marketplace >> Set up client account . A popup will open to guide you through the next steps.
Further information about the Marketplace
In the first step, you determine which users or user groups are allowed to use the general client account and post services from the individual providers.
Please note that the user who creates the client account is also directly linked to this account. At least one user must be assigned to the client account before you can continue with the setup.
In the second step you enter your contact details. All pre filled fields are loaded from the client’s basic data(Basic settings >> Basic data). A natural person must be specified as contact person for the Marketplace.
Once the contact details have been entered, you can register your means of payment (credit card or SEPA direct debit) with our payment service provider(MangoPay) in the last step. A certified payment service provider manages the payment flows and is legally required.
Currently, credit cards and SEPA direct debit can be used as means of payment.
Enter your credit card details or bank details in the appropriate fields and then confirm them by clicking the button “Register card details with MangoPay”.
You may be asked to confirm a validation payment of 1€. This is not actually charged to your credit card, but is only for card validation.
