Guide: Seller Account Features
omaps.io is packed with great features that make your life as a seller a lot easier. This guide will help you to get the most out of omaps.io!
1. Customizing Your Profile
On the My Account page you can find a lot of customization options for your profile:
- Setting a profile picture will make your profile more recognizable and boost your sales
- "Public Email" setting lets you use a different email address for communication with your customers
- You can add a custom detail on both your purchase receipts and also your customers' receipts, such as your business ID.
- By setting a custom profile url you can have a custom URL address that redirects to your omaps.io profile - for example https://paperhands.omaps.io.
- You can have a pre-set message sent to everyone who buys a map from you. You can just thank them for the order or give them extra information about the maps.
2. Seller's Settings
The settings page lets you toggle certain seller features on and off. These settings include:
2.1 Progressive Pricing
This setting is enabled by default. When your account has progressive pricing enabled, we will automatically adjust your map price for bigger orders (5 copies). The price you give when uploading a map acts as the base price and the customer will get a discount of up to 20% depending on how many copies they are purchasing. Here's a real world example of progressive pricing:
- Map price (base): 6.00€
- Customer orders 5 copies of the map - the total price is 5x6.00€ = 30.00€ - progressive pricing only applies when ordering 5 copies.
- Customer orders 6 copies of the map - the total price is 6x5.80€ = 34.80€.
- Customer orders 12 copies of the map - the total price is 12x5.60€ = 67.20€.
- Customer orders 30 copies of the map - the total price is 30x4.80€ = 144.00€ - max discount applied (20%).
2.2 Payout Schedule
You can control the payout schedule for your account. By default, we attempt a payout on the 1st day of each month. However with this setting you can make your payouts less frequent and make them happen every 3 months. The advantage of less frequent payouts is that you will save in payout fees, because there is a fee for each sent payout (fees guide).
3. Payouts
Payout means the event of transferring funds from your omaps.io account to your bank account. Payouts are sent automatically either on the 1st day of each month or the 1st day of every 3rd month (quarterly), depending on your account's payout schedule setting. Your account's available balance must exceed the minimum payout amount which is:
- Account currency EUR: 10.00€
- SEK: 100.00 SEK
- NOK: 100.00 NOK
- DKK: 75.00 DKK
- CHF: 10.00 CHF
- CZK: 50.00 CZK
If your account's available balance is below the minimum payout amount, the payout will be cancelled and attempted again next month. The payout fee is only taken from successful payouts.
Please note that it can take up to 3 business days for the money to arrive on your bank account after we've sent the payout.
4. Balances
Your account has 2 different balances: available balance and pending balance. You can see both of your balances from the Seller Dashboard.
Your pending balance contains money that is not ready to be paid out to your bank account. When you get an order, the money is first transferred to your pending balance and only transferred to your available balance after it has been released by our payment processor. This usually takes around 7 days.
