ORDER PROCESSING POLICY
The Vietnam Etsy Dropshipping model system is affiliated and operates based on the regulations and platform of the e-commerce platform Etsy, so when you join Etsy you must follow Etsy's order processing process.
Processing Time: When you receive an order from a buyer, you need to process it within 24 hours from the time the store receives the order.
Violation & Warning Fees
After 24 hours, if the store has not yet processed the received order, this behavior violates the agent's policies. To avoid additional costs, agents will be subject to a warning fee:
Level 1: Corresponding to 10% - 30% of the total order value. If paid within 24 hours, the penalty fee will be refunded to the store wallet after 48 hours.
Level 2: Corresponding to 30% of the total order value if the violation continues after 48 hours.
Store Termination: When you refuse to pay the above fines, it means you unilaterally request to stop doing business with Etsy. Etsy will close the store and freeze all transactions arising from your account system-wide.
Liquidation & Donation: When a final decision is made to permanently close a store, all remaining money in the account (after deductions) will be transferred by Etsy to the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to support child rights campaigns.
Deductions include:
- Commissions outside of capital
- Level 1 warning fee
- Level 2 warning fee
- Agent support money
