One checkout, organized by supplier
Dakoli checkout keeps supplier items organized so buyers can review contact, shipping, payment, and order details in one place.
Some items may proceed to checkout while quote-required items remain in the cart until supplier details are confirmed.
- Cart separates checkout-ready items from quote-required or supplier-confirmation items.
- Marketplace checkout groups line items by supplier so each seller section can be reviewed.
- Supplier-confirmed checkout may save a payment method without capturing payment immediately.
- Instant checkout can collect payment only when the product, address, payment method, and checkout mode allow it.
- Order result and buyer order detail pages show supplier progress after submission.
Payment and tax safety
Tax is not collected by Dakoli unless configured and shown during checkout.
Import duties and customs are not included unless clearly stated or marked DDP.
A saved payment method does not mean an order is paid. Payment status is confirmed by server workflow and payment provider updates.
- Review amount due now before placing an order.
- Review supplier-confirmed shipping before approving final changes.
- Keep tax, duties, and customs assumptions separate from product price unless explicitly shown.
Who this guide is for
This guide is for buyers and sourcing teams who need a practical understanding of how marketplace checkout works before taking action inside Dakoli.
Use it with the Orders & Protection learning path when you need context, checklist-style preparation, and safe next steps.
Step-by-step workflow
Start by reviewing the product, supplier, order, or campaign details already available in Dakoli.
Confirm the parts that affect price, shipping, timing, documents, payment, buyer approval, or seller settlement.
Use messages, quotes, checkout, or campaign review tools only after the required details are clear.
- Review the visible details first.
- Ask for missing information before approving operational changes.
- Keep the final decision inside Dakoli so the order, quote, or campaign history remains traceable.
Example scenario
A buyer compares two suppliers for the same product. One listing has clear MOQ, packaging, origin, shipping terms, and a responsive supplier. The other needs a quote because freight and lead time depend on quantity.
Dakoli should help the buyer keep both paths organized without implying that missing details are already final.
What you see in Dakoli
Dakoli surfaces relevant product, supplier, order, shipping, payment, protection, and campaign information where it belongs.
If a field is not available, Dakoli should use clear fallback copy instead of inventing claims or hiding important uncertainty.
Important notes
Tax is not collected by Dakoli unless configured and shown during checkout.
Import duties and customs are not included unless clearly stated or marked DDP.
Seller funds may be held during buyer protection, inspection, return, or dispute windows.
Common mistakes
Do not approve an order, quote, payout expectation, or campaign change based only on assumptions.
Do not move payment-critical or order-critical details outside Dakoli messages when the marketplace workflow is being used.
- Assuming checkout shipping is final when supplier confirmation is still required.
- Adding certificate, inspection, or trust claims that are not backed by real records.
- Treating AI or automation suggestions as final decisions without review.
FAQ
