How do payments work?
Not switched on yet: this describes a feature that is built but not live
Paid items are bought by card on a secure checkout page run by our payment processor; Smith Lake NOW never sees or stores your card number. A purchase activates automatically once the processor confirms the payment, usually within seconds, and your receipts and purchases are listed under your purchases page (for the Marketplace, Manage listings → Purchases). Card checkout is not switched on yet.
