    Define Marketplace fee discounts


    Marketplace fees can play a significant role in a seller’s adoption of the marketplace. As a marketplace operator, you are now able to define discounting rules for your sellers, where they could pay lesser fees for a negotiated period.


    With the Marketplace Manager app, you can now:

    • Create and schedule fee discount rules for a given seller member of your marketplace or for the sellers transacting with a specific buyer

    • Delete and disable an existing fee discount rule


    The marketplace fee service determines the applicable discounting rule and applies it when the transaction fee amount is calculated. The transactions table in the marketplace fee dashboard displays the applied fee discounts.

    Sellers are also able to see the fee discounts rules in their specific app.

    Enable cost split feature per line item type


    If your order documents are supposed to be integrated into your backend system, the requisitioning flow may need to be restricted depending on the capability of this system.


    For the following, the cost split feature may be enabled and disabled at line item type level: Shop, Written Request, Blanket Purchase Order or Quote. This way you can granularly disable the cost split feature for the line types which are not supported in your backend system.


    By enabling the cost split feature per line type, the branch admin:


    • Ensures the feature is visible to the requesters for the line types which are supported by the backend system. This way you avoid document integration failures

    • Can independently enable or disable the cost split feature for Shop, Written Request, Blanket Purchase Order and Quote item types.
