01

Marketplace Structure

ANM Marketplace combines products from ANM-owned inventory and approved third-party seller businesses in one shopping environment.

Each product record preserves ownership so the marketplace can determine which business is responsible for fulfillment, communication and seller accounting.

02

Orders and Split Fulfillment

A buyer may place one checkout containing products from more than one business. ANM keeps one parent marketplace order while creating separate fulfillment records for the owners of those items.

03

Seller Payments

Seller earnings are recorded separately from the buyer's parent order. ANM uses its seller payout system to group eligible earnings into scheduled payout periods.

Current seller operations use a biweekly business-check model rather than an instant payout request model.

04

Connected Native Stores

Compatible seller websites built on the ANM native store framework may connect to the marketplace through the Universal Native Store Connector.

Mapped products can synchronize catalog and stock information between the seller website and ANM Marketplace.
