Role and money path

Software around the payment. Never custody of the funds.

LinkSell presents terms and records state; the selected facilitator and network settle authorized USDC between buyer and merchant wallets.

The money path

LinkSell hosts the experience but stays outside the transfer between buyer and merchant wallets.

Your wallet receives after settlement

LinkSell never touches the money. It hosts the checkout and the dashboard — the USDC moves from the buyer straight to your wallet on-chain.

Availability, finality, wallet behavior, and possible external costs depend on the selected live rail.

LinkSell operates

Checkout presentation, merchant configuration, payment records, signed webhooks, receipts, and access tooling.

Settlement remains external

Buyer and merchant wallets, stablecoin issuer, facilitator service, network conditions, and on-chain finality.

Documentary context

A photograph is context. The evidence is linked.

Trust comes from inspectable behavior, clear responsibility, and recourse—not from a staged workspace or an unsupported badge.

Buyer and marketplace recourse

Responsibility stays visible after payment.

Marketplace sellers remain responsible for their offer and fulfillment. LinkSell operates the software, account, reporting, and acceptable-use surfaces.

Independent seller

Product, identity, support, and fulfillment

Buyers should review the seller, listing, delivery terms, contact path, and published refund policy before authorizing payment.

LinkSell

Software, records, reports, and account access

Listings can be reported for review. Prohibited activity is defined by the Acceptable-Use Policy.

Settlement is not a card chargeback. A finalized transfer is not reversed through LinkSell, but a seller can issue a separate refund and a buyer can still report a listing.

Account and integration controls

Shipped safeguards, not certification claims.

These controls support merchant operations. They do not remove wallet, product, tax, refund, stablecoin, or network responsibility.

Verified settlement wallets

A live payment surface resolves settlement to a verified merchant wallet for the selected network.

Signed webhooks

Webhook deliveries carry signatures so merchants can verify that a payload came from LinkSell.

Scoped API keys

Merchant API access is tenant-scoped and permissions are checked at the server boundary.

Two-factor authentication

Merchants can protect human account access with TOTP and one-time recovery codes.

Honest limitations

What LinkSell is not

Not a bank or custodian. LinkSell does not hold customer funds or merchant wallet keys.
No card fallback. Buyers need a compatible wallet, a live supported network, and the requested asset.
Stablecoin and network risk still exist. USDC targets a US-dollar peg; that target and blockchain operation are not guarantees from LinkSell.
No implied certification or uptime promise. This page describes shipped controls and public evidence only.
