Vendor Guide

Sell on Ring Platform as a vendor — whether you ship Ring clones, AI tooling, expert integrations, or managed hosting. This guide is written for you (the seller), not the platform operator.

Who can become a vendor?

You need:

1. A Ring account with at least Subscriber access (Member role unlocks additional opportunity types elsewhere on the platform).
2. A completed vendor store at /vendor/start — slug, name, description, categories, and logo.
3. Honest listings that match one or more store categories below.

Your public storefront lives at:

/store/vendors/{your-store-slug}

Vendor journey at a glance

Nine common vendor types on ring-platform.org

These are the archetypes we see most often on the open-source Ring ecosystem. You may fit one or combine several.

Store categories on ring-platform.org

When onboarding, you select one or more categories. They align with filter chips in the main store:

• ring-platform — deployment, modules, branding, localization, payments, tunnel/Web3 customization
• dev-kits — scaffolds, integration bundles, tooling
• ai-tools — agents, matchers, automation
• expert-services — professional services and retainers
• digital-templates — themes, layouts, content packs
• learn — courses and structured training
• community — memberships, cohorts, office hours
• saas-assets — hosted add-ons, subscriptions, infrastructure products

Onboarding checklist

1. 1

   Create your store

   Go to /vendor/start and complete:

   • Store slug — URL-safe identifier (e.g. acme-ring-studio)
   • Store name — public brand
   • Description — who you help and what you ship (max 500 characters)
   • Categories — at least one from the list above
   • Logo — square image, 512×512 recommended
2. 2

   Add your first product

   Open /vendor/products → Add Product:

   • 1–5 photos (first image is the hero)
   • Name, category, price (UAH; optional DAAR display)
   • Stock count for physical or seat-limited digital goods
   • Short description; use clear scope bullets for services

   Optional: Submit to Main Store for admin review and listing in the central /store catalog.

3. 3

   Configure fulfillment

   • Digital goods — document delivery (repo access, license key, calendar link) in the product description and order messaging.
   • Services — state response SLA, timezone, and what discovery call includes.
   • Hosted offers — link status page or onboarding doc; never promise root access you do not provide.
4. 4

   Monitor dashboard

Trust tiers and commission

Ring uses a trust tier model. New vendors start at NEW (higher platform commission); commission decreases as you maintain quality sales, reviews, and tenure.

Exact thresholds and overrides may be set in merchant configuration (admin-managed). Details: Vendor Management and Multi-Vendor Store.

Listing quality (what buyers expect)

Payments and settlements

• Checkout supports fiat (WayForPay) and platform wallet flows where enabled.
• Settlements are automated with tier-based commission deduction; see earnings for pending and completed payouts.
• For payment architecture: Payment Conductor and WayForPay integration.

AI product enrichment

Upload a hero image plus basic fields; platform AI can suggest descriptions, tags, and cross-sells. You remain responsible for technical accuracy — review every generated field before publishing.

After launch

1. Link your storefront from your site and GitHub org profile.
2. Respond to buyer messages via Ring messaging where enabled.
3. Keep stock and pricing updated after each release.
4. Request Main Store inclusion once you have polished assets and docs.
