FAQ's
Why do I need to provide all this information?
Payment processors must follow Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti–money laundering laws. To comply, Lovingly is required to verify your business and identity information before payouts can occur.
What if I don’t have everything yet?
You'll need every required document to complete verification. If anything is missing or doesn’t match exactly, the upgrade will fail. We recommend sharing the requirements with your accountant to make sure everything is accurate and current.
What happens if I don’t submit the required documents?
If verification isn’t completed, payouts will stop when your upgrade occurs. Eventually, you’ll also lose the ability to accept orders.
What is the Lovingly Pay credit card processing rate?
The rate is 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction, plus 1% for international transactions.
Does this change my Lovingly Shop Agreement if I was originally on Stripe?
No. Your shop agreement stays the same. Only the payment processor changes, and the Retailer Terms of Service have been updated to reflect that.
Do I still get paid in 2 business days?
Yes. Payments still follow a 2-business-day rolling schedule. Transfers now occur 2 business days after you mark the order delivered, rather than after the order is placed.
Does Lovingly make money by delaying payment?
No. Lovingly only settles customer funds once the order is marked delivered. This gives you more protection and a larger window to issue refunds without fees.
Why do I need to mark my orders delivered?
Marking orders delivered triggers payouts. It also sends the customer a delivery confirmation and an invitation to leave a review. If an order isn’t marked delivered, the payout will not be released.
Is there a deadline for marking orders delivered?
For timely payouts, mark orders delivered by 10:45 PM ET each day. Transfers occur 2 business days after the delivery is marked.
What if I don’t have time to mark orders delivered?
You can do it quickly in several ways:
Individually from the Orders page
Through Daily Workflow (drag to Delivered)
In bulk using the Mark Orders Delivered button
By scanning the QR code on printed SuperTickets
I already use a delivery confirmation system or POS. Do I still need to mark orders delivered in Lovingly?
Yes. Only orders marked delivered inside your Lovingly Account will trigger payouts. If you prefer not to send duplicate notifications, use Lovingly as your primary delivery confirmation for Lovingly orders.
Can I opt out of Lovingly Pay or use my own processor?
Not at this time. Lovingly Pay is required for processing all Lovingly orders.
