Deal Lifecycle

Step-by-step workflow from enquiry to completion.

Updated 10 March 2026

Workflow Stages

Deals move through a strict sequence so both parties share a clear source of truth.

Offer or Enquiry

The flow starts from a purchase offer, recycler enquiry, or Buy Now action.

Terms Agreed

Both sides confirm price, quantity, timeline, and key fulfillment terms.

Payment Pending

For asynchronous rails, the deal can sit in payment_pending while the payment processor finalizes the charge.

Payment Confirmed

When payment succeeds, fulfillment can proceed with lower counterparty risk.

Completion and Payout

After completion confirmation, seller payout is released to the connected Stripe account.
