Two ways to buy: on the shop's site, or on Plukio
Plukio lists two kinds of shops, and the button on an item tells you which one you're looking at.
| Buy on the shop's name | Checkout on Plukio | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you pay | On the shop's own website | On Plukio, through Stripe |
| Who you pay | The shop | The maker, directly: Plukio never holds your money |
| Who ships it | The shop | The maker |
| Your order record | With the shop | In your Plukio account, and in your confirmation email |
| Who to contact | The shop | The maker, or Plukio support |
Buying on the shop's own website
Most shops on Plukio sell on their own websites. Buy on sends you there, and the shop handles payment, shipping and returns. Plukio has no record of that order. See How buying works.
Checking out on Plukio
Makers whose pages are at plukio.com/makers sell on Plukio itself. You add their items to your bag and check out here. Each maker is paid separately, so a bag with items from two makers is two checkouts. You pay in the maker's currency.
You don't need an account to check out: your confirmation email has a link to your order.
