Cash sales in one step
Recording an offline sale and giving the buyer their confirmation code is now a single flow, and codes generated earlier are easy to find again.
- Cash Sale flow: From a published listing, Cash Sale lets you set how many sold for each row and generate the buyer’s code together — the inventory change and the code are applied in one step, so a code is never issued against a change that didn’t go through
- Review active codes: Open Cash Sale to see the listing’s active (unclaimed, unexpired) codes and re-show a QR or short code you generated earlier, including away from the buyer
- Edit Pricing: The former Manage Inventory action is now Edit Pricing for live listings — update cash and card prices with quantities locked; reduce stock through Cash Sale and add stock when you extend or renew
- Accurate availability: Selling the last animal on a listing still marks it Sold Out automatically
Seller listing fees, broadcast outreach, and marketplace improvements
Sellers now pay listing fees through Stripe Checkout when publishing a new draft listing, and several post-purchase and admin workflows were expanded.
- Listing fee activation: Sellers choose a duration and optional add-ons on Step 5, then pay through secure Stripe Checkout (or activate free when a credit or free-listing org applies)
- Listing credits at checkout: Referral and admin-granted credits waive the base listing fee in the pricing summary; paid add-ons are still charged separately
- Checkout recovery: Web and native apps return sellers to Step 5 after payment; Android recovery and server-side backstops help finish activation if the return is interrupted
- Buyer checkout: Buyers can purchase multiple inventory lines in one order, apply seller coupons, and add optional services such as delivery, boarding, or supplies
- Stripe payouts: Sellers and organization admins can set up card payouts from Payouts & earnings, accept seller responsibilities, and track onboarding status
- Delivery pricing: Per-mile delivery uses the buyer’s selected address and server-calculated driving distance without exposing the seller’s exact pickup location before purchase
- Receipts and sale records: Successful purchases send buyer receipts, notify sellers, update inventory, and create review eligibility after payment is finalized
- Seller earnings: Sellers can review recent card transactions, net earnings, pending amounts, refunds, and coupon-backed purchases
- Delivery-aware emails: Buyer receipts and seller purchase notifications now describe delivery details when a delivery add-on is purchased
- Message buyer and seller: Purchase emails can deep-link to the buyer-seller conversation when a chat channel is available
- Review handoff: Buyers can leave a seller review after a card purchase without needing a cash confirmation code
- Sold-out listings: Sold-out and expired listing pages now show clearer availability messaging instead of appearing broken or removed
- Guest return flow: Guests who sign in from a listing return to the listing with selected quantities restored when possible
- Proposal reliability: Trait, certification, species, and breed proposals now persist more consistently and support feed-aware suggestions
- Admin visibility: Pending proposal counts and admin list data are more accurate
- Review links: Seller-to-buyer review links now resolve the correct buyer profile from deep links
- Notification cleanup: Review reminders no longer post into chat threads
- Checkout safeguards: Card checkout better handles seller readiness, self-purchase blocking, unavailable inventory, refunds, disputes, and duplicate webhook events
Push notifications and mobile badges
The iPhone and Android apps can now send push notifications for messages, reviews, feedback reminders, and proposal updates.
- Native push: Supported notifications can appear when the app is in the background or closed
- Message routing: Tapping a message push opens the related conversation when possible
- Notification controls: The In-app & push preference controls both the notification center and push delivery for each notification type
- Badge sync: App and notification badges stay aligned as notifications are read or cleared
Listing expiration reminders
Sellers can now receive reminders before a listing expires and after it expires with inventory still available.
- Expiration timing: Active listings can send 7-day and 3-day reminders when inventory remains
- Renewal reminders: Expired listings with remaining inventory can send a renewal reminder
- Seller actions: Eligible sellers and organization leaders can open Extend or Renew from email, in-app, or push notifications
Reviews, trust, and cash confirmation
Members can now build and inspect richer reputation history across listings, profiles, and verified transactions.
- Unified member reputation: Individual profiles can show combined reputation, plus separate views for activity as a seller and as a buyer
- Cash purchase confirmation: Sellers can share one-time confirmation codes for cash deals so buyers can confirm the purchase and continue to reviews
- Trust badge guidance: Public trust surfaces now link to documentation that explains trust badges and how verified activity affects reputation
Manage published listings
Sellers can now open a published listing from the Sell tab and manage it without starting over.
- Manage screen: Open a listing to edit basics, details, photos, documents, inventory, and status from one place
- Status controls: Mark listings sold out, reactivate sold-out listings before expiration, and renew expired listings
- Inventory safeguards: Active listings can reduce quantity, but cannot add new rows. Sold-out listings may restore availability only for reversed sales, only within the current listing window, and never above the original amount
