Questions answered

Frequently asked questions.

Clear answers about what Relay Orders does — and what it doesn’t.

What exactly is Relay Orders?

An order routing platform connecting orders placed on a brand website to its authorised retailer network for fulfilment.

Does Relay Orders replace our ecommerce website?

No. Customers continue to buy through your existing brand website. Relay Orders operates behind the scenes.

How does a retailer get an order?

Eligible retailers are notified when an order is available. The first retailer to claim and confirm stock receives the fulfilment opportunity.

Do customers need a Relay Orders account?

No. The customer shops and checks out on the brand website.

Who owns the customer data?

The brand retains the customer relationship and order data, subject to its own privacy and data-processing arrangements.

Is this a marketplace like Amazon or eBay?

No. Relay Orders is not a consumer-facing marketplace. The brand owns the customer-facing storefront.

What happens to retail pricing?

The brand controls the prices displayed on its own website. Retailer settlement and margins are agreed as part of onboarding.

Can we choose which retailers participate?

Yes. The brand decides which authorised retailers are eligible to receive its orders.

What if nobody claims an order?

Unclaimed orders need a brand-agreed fallback and customer-service process. We discuss these rules during setup.

What if a retailer claims an order but cannot fulfil?

A retailer accountability and escalation process is part of the operational setup, including strike and suspension rules.

Does it work with Shopify?

A Shopify integration is in testing. Contact us to discuss current compatibility and onboarding.

Does it work with WooCommerce?

A WooCommerce integration has been developed. We can discuss requirements for your store.

What does Relay Orders cost?

Our working introductory model is a 1% order-routing fee, subject to commercial agreement. Pilot terms can differ.

Can we see a demonstration?

Yes. Get in touch and we can talk through the workflow and whether it fits your retail network.
