    •How do you get the money
    •when do you get it
    •dose the website take some percentage and how much
    That pretty much all I can think atm

    Greetings, I'm not a staff member and I don't represent blokblok, but from my understanding the site doesn't process payments (yet).

    At the moment it seems orders will generate an invoice to you, to which you can then send further payment instructions to the buyer to continue and finalize the transaction off site. (i.e, paypal, crypto, cashapp, whatever you chose for payment).

    I presume the admin will eventually integrate a payment gate on the site itself, just takes time to setup. and depends if they want p2p or some escrow system

    Hey @Warlord_Kongs_armory – great Qs! And @griimnak – you're spot on, thank you 🙏🏻

    TL;DR: sellers and buyers agree on a payment method and conduct the transaction offsite, quite like BrickLink used to do. Sellers can indicate which currencies and payment methods they accept.

    Integrated payments are planned for the future. It's a hefty topic in technical and legal aspects, so it's not a priority for the next few months – I think we need to nail the catalog, UX and get some scale at first.

    There is no commish on BlokBlok just yet – I am funding the platform myself alongside any donations on Ko-Fi. A small % is planned at some point in the future to help run the thing, but it won't be anytime soon – similar reasons to above :)

    Are prices in USD only? Especially if I want to mainly sell in Europe and as I need to take care of the payment it would help if I could define prices in EUR.

    Shouldn't be the case, here's an example with prices in GBP in my store 🤔 Lmk if it's different for you!

    I guess I could make a 'view listings in X currency' with real-time conversion but I think the current system is more predictable for sellers to:
    1) Set the currency of their listings in store settings
    2) Select currencies they accept (shown to buyers at the bottom in store Terms tab)
    3) Do conversion, if needed, at the time of order processing

    No it's possible, while spont checking also the store in Poland had USD, so that was my assumption, it's all fine an EUR works.
