Payment Solutions

Online marketplaces

Streamline merchant payments and accelerate drop shipping strategies.
Marqeta

The problem

Online retail aggregators that use upstream merchants instead of keeping an inventory of goods need to provide a single-cart checkout experience with a single payment for the consumer, while paying multiple merchant vendors to fulfill the order.
Marqeta

The solution

In drop shipment, real-time issuing of virtual cards enables multiple supplier payments within a single transaction. This ensures faster order fulfillment and a better customer experience. It also eliminates the need to lock up capital to pay merchants, supporting volume sales at seasonal peaks.
