How it works

From posted deal to bank deposit — the full playbook.

A step-by-step look at how vendors earn on Proper Buying Group — from applying, to claiming deals, to shipping and getting paid.

  1. 01Under 24 hours

    Apply and get approved

    Fill out the vendor application with your basics and shipping address, then upload your documents. We verify them, then send you a Discord invite plus dashboard credentials.

    • Business Certificate upload
    • Government-issued photo ID
    • Payout method information (e-Transfer, EFT, or wire)
  2. 02Live, all day

    Watch the deal queue

    New deals drop in your dashboard and Discord throughout the day. Each posting shows the retailer, unit quantity available to you, exact payout, and any purchase constraints (payment method, postal code, etc.).

    • Fair queue — no first-click-wins
    • Instant notifications on drops you care about
    • Filter by category, retailer, and payout tier
  3. 0330-second lockout

    Claim the units you can buy

    Reserve the exact number of units you can commit to purchasing. A 30-second confirmation window prevents overclaims and keeps the queue moving.

    • Reserve 1 or many — no minimums
    • Auto-release if you don't complete purchase in 4h
    • Full deal history on your profile
  4. 04Any card, any account

    Buy from the approved retailer

    Purchase the item(s) from the retailer listed in the deal. Upload your receipt (order number, total, and card last-4). Our system matches it to your claim in seconds.

    • Use any personal credit card
    • Stacked rewards & cashback are yours
    • Support pinch-hits if a retailer glitches
  5. 05Your choice

    Ship to us — or dropship direct

    Ship the sealed items to us with our prepaid label, drop them off in person, or have the retailer dropship them straight to the warehouse address we provide. Either way, upload your tracking number, order number, and receipt so we can match the shipment to your claim.

    • Ship, drop off, or dropship to our warehouse address
    • Upload tracking number, order number, and receipt
    • Free shipping and full insurance on our prepaid labels
  6. 06Within 7 days or less

    Get paid on scan

    Upon scanning in at our warehouse, your payout is placed in the queue and is usually paid within 7 days or less by e-Transfer, EFT, or wire.

    • Paid by e-Transfer, EFT, or wire
    • Full ledger export in one click
    • Tax documents auto-generated at year end
Guardrails

A boring buying group is a good buying group.

We keep operations dull on purpose. Fewer surprises for vendors, fewer disputes for everyone.

What we protect you from

  • Retailer cancellations — no penalty, no chargeback risk
  • Card fraud flags — we assist with the retailer paperwork
  • Missing packages — insured up to declared value

What we ask from you

  • Only buy what you can actually pay for
  • Ship items sealed, unopened, within 72 hours of claim
  • Keep receipts until payout clears (we may audit randomly)

“It really is that simple.”

Most first-time vendors close their first payout within a week. Approvals are fast because our whole business depends on active vendors, not friction.
