UNL Holiday shutdown

Due to the holiday season, many of our Marketplace merchants will not be shipping physical products or some stores will be completely shutdown until staff returns and stores reopen January 3.

NOTE: Keep in mind payment card authorizations for orders during this time could expire for physical product orders before merchant is able to ship.

Sell with Us

Since the launch of our service in 2010, we've handled over $3 million for more than 50 university units and affiliates.

Our service is more than just a payment processor. We provide a complete shopping cart experience for all kinds of different sales flows. We're equipped to handle something as simple as collecting a payment for a conference or as complex as a built-to-order gift box that needs to be shipped to the customer at cost.

We're experienced in the logistics of order fulfillment and are here to help you avoid problems. Our system is setup to automatically handle:

  • Maintaining a PCI compliant environment to handle card transactions
  • Collecting and remitting Nebraska sales tax
  • Integrating with shipping carriers
  • Maintaining an administration panel for management and reporting
  • Providing training and university, on-site support
  • Following the university's official branding and web content standards
  • Understanding the university's accounting processes and policies

These features set us apart from other payment processor systems that many university units often consider using. It may make things seem a little bit more expensive, but having a secure and flexible system is a huge priority.

While a majority of our sellers utilize our service to provide online credit card acceptance, we support the following payment methods to provide flexibility to your diverse customers' preferences.

  • Credit Card (Visa, Master Card, Discover)
  • Check / Purchase Order or Invoiced (mailed payment)
  • Cost Object (University of Nebraska–Lincoln internal accounts)
  • Intraagency Billing Transaction (State of Nebraska agency accounts)

Cost of Service

In order to support both the infrastructure and staff required to provide this service locally, we employ a percentage of your revenue called the Marketplace fee. We do not change a fee for automatically collected tax or shipping, if applicable. Our standard tiers are described below. Your fee tier is established before you begin and won't change month to month. This fee is in addition to a fee that credit card issuers apply to transaction totals.
