7-Day Transaction Process Guide
Last updated: October 19, 2025
Buying and Selling a Vending Location
Everything you need to know about how it works
Step-by-Step UI:
Buyers and sellers see each step required to successfully complete a transaction.
Credit Card Hold:
When a buyer purchases a location, a hold is placed on their credit card—but it won’t be charged immediately.
4-Day Seller Action Window:
Sellers must introduce the buyer to the property manager within 4 days and set the appointment date/time that was approved by both parties. If they don’t complete this action within 4 days, the transaction is automatically canceled, and the buyer’s card is never charged.
The appointment date must be within 6 days of purchase. Otherwise, the order should be canceled and repurchased closer to the appointment date.
Buyer Review Period:
Once introduced, buyers must:
-
Meet with the property manager and reach an agreement
-
Finalize the order to complete the transaction
The maximum time to finalize or cancel the order is 7 days from purchase. If no action is taken, the order automatically finalizes. When an order is finalized, the buyer's card gets charged.
Full Refund Flexibility:
At any time during the 7-day period, either the buyer or seller can cancel the order for a full refund as long as they provide a valid reason to cancel. Valid reasons include:
- Inaccurate listing description
- Inability to reach agreement with the property manager
Finalization & Payment:
After the order is finalized, the buyer's card is charged and payment is released to the seller (after a 14-day holding period). Then both parties can leave a review.
Order completed!
Once an order is finalized, it cannot be refunded. It's important to note that if the order isn’t finalized or canceled within 7 days from purchase, the transaction is automatically finalized, and no refunds will be available.
