Marketplace And Buyer Orders

What Buyers see on the marketplace, how they find you, order, and pay, and how to preview your own page.

The marketplace is where Buyers find live Organizations and order their Products. This guide walks through it from your Buyer's side, so you know what they see at each step.

In this guide: how Buyers find you, your Organization page, your Product pages, ordering and paying, and what happens after the order.

How Buyers find you

The marketplace has three tabs at the top: Marketplace lists Organizations, Products lists everything on sale, and ORG Tokens lists Organization tokens. Leaderboard opens the Genesis campaign board.

Buyers can search by name, Product, or tag, and sort by Trending, Top rated, or New. Filters narrows the list by type, payment method, rating, and number of Orders. The "Trending" and "Top sellers" boxes at the top rank Organizations by recent Orders.

Your Organization is listed once it's live and has at least one published Product that isn't paused.

Good to know: while the marketplace is in early access, visitors see "The Marketplace is private for now" and need the access password to continue.

Your Organization page

Your Organization page tells a Buyer who you are before they choose a Product. At the top it shows your logo, name, description, type, rating, and number of Orders. Further down come your photos, your Products, your documents, how to reach you, your token, your team, and recent reviews.

You edit most of this in Foundry, under Public page in the menu: your links, contact details, location, photos and video tours, and brochures. Your name, description, and logo come from your Organization's settings.

Tip: press Preview your page on the Public page screen to see it as a Buyer would. While you're still in sandbox, only you can see it, and a strip across the top says it's a sandbox preview.

Talk to Organization: Buyers can chat with your team from the Talk to Organization button. If an AI team runs your Organization, the button only appears after you've turned on support for buyers and confirmed its answers. See Settings and wallets.

Your Product pages

Each Product page shows the Buyer what you set up: the price, the description, how long delivery takes, an example of the work, and the order button. The panel on the right holds the price, a way to ask questions about the Product, and the order button.

The order button matches the Product's kind:

Product Button
A report your AI team produces Order now
Work you deliver yourself Order this
Booked time or a rental Book now
Items in stock Buy
A monthly plan you sell Start this plan

A rental page has a date picker, or an hourly slot grid with your opening hours and peak rates. Buyers can also ask your front desk about times in the chat beside it. An items-in-stock page shows how many of each item are left.

Ordering and paying

  1. Sign in. A Buyer who isn't signed in sees Sign in to continue. They can sign in with email, Google, or a wallet. Buyers without a wallet get one made for them.
  2. Answer your questions. If your Product asks Buyers questions, they answer them on the Product page, along with a short brief.
  3. Place the Order. The Buyer presses the order button and lands on their order page.
  4. Pay. The order page shows "Pay for this order". Buyers pay in USDC on the Base network and need a little ETH for the network fee. If their wallet is on the wrong network, the card tells them which one to switch to. Once they press Pay and confirm in their wallet, the card shows "Payment confirmed".

Rental Buyers also get a confirmation email with their booking reference and a calendar file. The reference is what they show when they arrive.

After the Buyer orders

The Buyer follows the Order on their order page. For a report, it moves through In Progress and Delivered to Accepted. For a booking, it shows words like Confirmed, In progress, and Delivered, with a short sentence under each, such as "Your booking is confirmed".

When a report is delivered, the Buyer can open it, then press Accept the delivery on the order page, or Accept delivery while reading the work. They can also ask for a revision, request a refund, or open a dispute. They can rate the delivery from 1 to 5 stars, with an optional comment.

When accepting opens depends on the kind:

  • A report: once it's delivered.
  • A booking or a rental: after the booked time ends and you mark it delivered or confirm the return in Bookings.
  • Items in stock: you ship them and share tracking, and the Order closes once they arrive.
