Stripe Connect Disclosure
BoxNear uses Stripe Connect (Express accounts) to onboard sellers and pay them for orders placed through the platform.
1. Stripe Connected Account Agreement
By onboarding as a seller you enter into the Stripe Connected Account Agreement directly with Stripe. Your relationship with Stripe covers card acceptance, KYC, payouts, tax reporting (including Form 1099-K where applicable), and disputes.
2. Account type
BoxNear creates Express accounts on your behalf. Sellers complete a hosted Stripe onboarding flow that collects identity, business, tax, and bank information. BoxNear does not see or store your bank credentials or full tax identifiers.
3. Charge model
BoxNear uses destination charges with an application fee. A single charge is created on the platform's Stripe account; the seller's share (gross minus the BoxNear platform fee) is transferred automatically to the seller's connected account.
4. Country and currency
Express accounts are created with country US and business type individual by default. Transactions are in USD.
5. Account status
BoxNear stores the flags Stripe returns (charges_enabled, payouts_enabled, details_submitted, and any outstanding requirements) so we can show you accurate onboarding status and gate paid listings appropriately. These flags update whenever Stripe sends an account.updated webhook.
6. Dashboard and payouts
Sellers manage bank details, payout schedule, tax documents, and dispute evidence through the Stripe Express dashboard. BoxNear generates a login link when you request one from your BoxNear payouts page.
7. If Connect is not activated
If BoxNear's platform-side Stripe Connect setup is not yet complete on a given install, the seller-facing UI shows an amber notice and paid listings cannot be published. Free listings remain unaffected.
8. Termination
Stripe may pause or terminate a connected account under its own agreement. BoxNear may also disconnect a Stripe account from a store; doing so does not affect payouts already scheduled by Stripe.
