Sign in to Ordafy Business, open your organisation, and create a product from the catalog. Add title, description, media, pricing, inventory or variants, and fulfilment options, then publish when ready. Customers can discover it on Ordafy Shop if your organisation is listed publicly. See Guides for step-by-step walkthroughs.

In Ordafy Business, create a service listing with description, category, pricing model (e.g. fixed or hourly), photos, policies, and availability. Connect your calendar where supported, set booking rules, then publish. Bookings can be taken from Ordafy Shop and managed in Business alongside products.

Customers can pay with major cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) and wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay where enabled. Checkout is powered by Stripe with PCI-aligned handling; card details are not stored on Ordafy servers.

Ordafy is free to use: no platform subscription for standard selling. When you get paid, a card processing fee applies (1.9% + $0.2 per online transaction; in-person POS card rates may differ). Sales that originate on Ordafy Shop also include a 3% marketplace commission deducted from the merchant payout. See Pricing for full detail.

Refund rules are set by each provider and shown before you pay. To request a refund, use the order or booking flow where available or message the provider from the listing. Ordafy support can help if something looks incorrect or you cannot reach the provider.

If the provider enabled transfers, open the order or booking in your Ordafy Shop account and follow the transfer option. You may need the recipient's email. Restrictions and deadlines are set by the provider.

You will be notified by email and in-app where available. Refunds follow the provider's policy and Stripe timelines. If a refund is delayed beyond what you expect, contact the provider first, then Ordafy support with your reference.

For pickups or on-site services, show your confirmation or QR code from Ordafy Shop or the mobile app. Staff may scan to verify. For online or virtual services, follow the link or instructions in your confirmation email.

Sign in with the same account you used to purchase. In Ordafy Shop, open your customer dashboard for orders and service bookings. Confirmations and receipts are also emailed to you.

From a listing on Ordafy Shop, use contact or messaging options the provider enabled. Response times vary; use support if you need help with a paid order.

Yes. You can publish products at £0 for free offers, lead magnets, or community events. Checkout still flows through Stripe where a payment method is required for £0 carts depending on configuration; platform fees follow the same rules as paid items for any applicable channels.

Providers can create promo codes in Business for eligible products or checkout flows. Customers apply them at checkout on Ordafy Shop or compatible Pay links depending on your setup.

Ordafy Business exposes APIs and webhooks for many operations; use them with CRMs, data warehouses, or custom stacks. For bespoke builds, Ordafy Web Services (OWS) offers engineering engagements beyond self-serve integrations.

Yes. Payments run on Stripe (PCI DSS Level 1). Ordafy does not store full card numbers on its own infrastructure for Stripe Checkout flows. Use a strong password and enable two-factor authentication in Ordafy Auth for account protection.

We collect data needed to run accounts, payments, fraud prevention, and support. Providers receive customer data required to fulfil orders and bookings. See the Privacy Policy for retention, rights, and processors. You can manage marketing consent from account settings.

Listings show calendars or slot pickers that reflect rules the provider configured in Ordafy Business. If nothing fits, message the provider from the listing.

Typical flow: choose a service and time, pay deposit or full amount as configured, receive confirmation, then attend or receive the service. Balance payments or add-ons may be scheduled before the appointment depending on provider settings.

Funds move to your Stripe connected account according to capture timing, refunds, and Stripe's payout schedule for your country and risk profile. Ordafy Business shows bookings, balances, and payout history; exact arrival at your bank is controlled by Stripe.

Cancellation windows and refunds are defined on the listing. Cancel from your Ordafy Shop bookings area when the provider allows it; otherwise contact the provider or support with your reference.

In Ordafy Business, open the service calendar: block dates, adjust hours, sync where Google Calendar integration is enabled, and set buffers or cut-offs so double-bookings are avoided.

Ordafy splits experiences by role: Auth (sign-in and account security), Ordafy Shop (customer marketplace and checkout), Business (provider operations, catalog, bookings, payouts), POS (in-store till and counter sales), Pay (standalone payment links and invoices), OWS (Ordafy Web Services—custom engineering engagements), plus the API and mobile app that tie them together. Use the Help Center tabs to filter FAQs by product.

The mobile app brings customer and provider workflows to iOS and Android—browsing Shop, managing bookings and orders, business tasks where enabled, and deep links back through Ordafy Auth. Feature parity grows over time; some advanced admin tasks may still be fastest on the web.

Ordafy Auth is the dedicated sign-in experience (email/password, Google where enabled, password reset, and security settings). It issues your session for Ordafy Shop, Business, Pay, POS, and the mobile app, returning you to the app you started from via a safe callback URL.

Open your account security settings in Ordafy Auth, choose authenticator app (TOTP), scan the QR code with Google Authenticator or Authy, and store backup codes offline. 2FA significantly reduces account takeover risk.

Some sensitive actions ask you to confirm again—often with a security PIN or elevated session—so a stolen unlocked device cannot move money or change payout details. If you are locked out after failed attempts, wait for the cool-down or contact support with identity proof.

Discover products and services, save favourites, add to cart, pay securely, track orders and bookings, download tickets or files, and manage your profile—all without needing the provider's private Business URL.

Business is the control centre: catalog, pricing, inventory, service calendars, orders and bookings, customers, marketing tools, analytics, payouts and Stripe settings, team permissions, check-in tools, reports, and notifications—scoped by organisation membership.

POS is the in-person selling surface: search the catalog, build carts, take card-present payments with Stripe, manage shifts or registers where configured, and hand off to Ordafy Pay links when you need remote payment from the same inventory.

Ordafy Pay lets you create branded payment links for products, services, or custom line items, share them anywhere (SMS, email, QR), set expiries, and reconcile paid vs unpaid in Business. It complements Shop checkout for negotiated or out-of-band sales.

Choose OWS when you need bespoke software—custom storefronts, internal tools, integrations, mobile apps, or automation—that goes beyond self-serve configuration. OWS is a services engagement, not the same as your day-to-day Shop or Business subscription.
