The bag, and paying
The bag is a durable list across as many shops as you like; nothing is charged and nothing is reserved until checkout.
What the bag is
- It survives closing the app. It is not a checkout session that times out.
- It can hold things from several different shops at once.
- It stores no prices. Every number you see is re-read from the listing when you look, and read again when you pay — so a stale price can never become a wrong charge.
- It does not reserve stock. Something in your bag can sell out, and the review step before payment is where that is said out loud.
Checking out
- Review the bag. It splits into one group per shop, because each shop is paid separately.
- Choose how each shop's things reach you. What you are offered depends on what that shop has switched on and whether you are inside their range.
- Check the total. It is goods plus delivery — nothing else is added.
- Pay. Card payments confirm in a few seconds; local rails may hand you off to your bank and settle in minutes or hours.
Buying without an account
Some things — event tickets in particular — can be bought with just an email address. You get what you paid for by email, and if you make an account with that same address later, it attaches to you automatically.
Live order updates need an account, though. An email address has nothing to push a notification to, so a guest purchase is tracked by the links you were sent rather than by a status that changes under you.

Getting it to you
Collect it, or have it delivered — and if it is delivered, the shop decides who drives, not you.
After you pay: what the statuses mean
Every order moves through a small, fixed set of stages, and the app updates while you watch it.
What it costs — every fee in one place
Five percent plus a small fixed amount on a sale, taken out of the seller's side. Delivery is priced separately and says so.
