Nexiv Pets

A multi-vendor marketplace for pets, products and care. Verified sellers, escrow-protected payments, subscription supply and a lifetime record that travels with the animal into Nexiv Vet.

The hard part

Pet commerce fails on trust, so we engineered it

Buying an animal or a high-value care product online means sending money to a stranger about a living thing. Reviews do not solve that. Verification, escrow and an auditable record do.

Every seller passes identity and licence checks before a listing goes live. Funds sit in escrow until the buyer confirms handover or delivery. Welfare- sensitive listings go through manual review, and a listing that fails review is refused rather than quietly downranked.

Identity verification Licence validation Manual listing review Escrow release
Escrow lifecycle
  • 01 · AuthoriseBuyer's payment is authorised and captured into a segregated escrow balance. Seller sees the order, not the funds.
  • 02 · FulfilSeller confirms handover or hands the consignment to a tracked carrier; evidence is attached to the order.
  • 03 · InspectBuyer has a defined inspection window to confirm or raise an issue.
  • 04 · ReleaseOn confirmation, or at window expiry with no dispute, funds settle to the seller net of fees.
  • 05 · DisputeA raised issue freezes settlement and opens a structured case with evidence from both sides.

Full buyer and seller terms are set out in the Refunds & Cancellations Policy.

Categories

Four connected marketplaces

One account, one basket, one record — spanning acquisition, supply, services and ongoing care.

Animals

Verified breeders and rescue organisations only. Welfare screening, health documentation, licence checks and a mandatory pre-handover questionnaire for the buyer.

Products

Food, equipment, enrichment and prescription-adjacent supplies from vetted retailers, with structured attributes so search actually filters on what matters.

Services

Grooming, training, boarding, walking and behavioural support — bookable with availability, deposits and cancellation rules handled by the platform.

Subscriptions

Recurring food, parasite treatment, medication and insurance renewals, with pause, skip and quantity adjustment that customers can self-serve.

Commerce engineering

The parts marketplaces usually get wrong

Split payouts & tax

Multi-party settlement with platform fee, seller payout and shipping apportionment computed per line item. VAT and marketplace facilitator rules applied at order time, not reconciled after the fact.

Live animal logistics

Transport of animals is not parcel shipping. Handover appointments, approved transporter lists, welfare requirements and journey documentation are modelled as first-class order states.

Search that respects intent

Structured attributes plus semantic retrieval, so "hypoallergenic dog food for a senior labrador" resolves to correct products rather than keyword soup — with paid placement always labelled.

Fraud & welfare signals

Device, payment and behavioural signals combine with welfare-specific heuristics — duplicate imagery, implausible litter frequency, pricing outliers — to hold a listing for human review.

Verifiable provenance

Optional anchoring through Nexiv Chain for pedigree, vaccination and transfer-of-ownership events, so a buyer can verify a claim without trusting the seller or the platform.

Care continuity

Purchase history, vaccination records and subscription state flow into Nexiv Vet, so the first triage call already knows the animal's age, weight and medication.

Order throughput
For sellers

A seller portal built for real operations

Onboarding takes hours, not weeks — and once you are live, the portal does the administrative work rather than generating it.

  • Guided verification with document upload and status tracking
  • Bulk listing import, media management and scheduled availability
  • Payout schedule, statements and downloadable tax summaries
  • Dispute console with evidence upload and response deadlines
  • Performance dashboard: conversion, refund rate, response time
Questions

Common questions

Three layers. Identity and licence verification before any listing goes live; automated welfare and fraud heuristics on every submission; and manual review for animal listings by a trained reviewer. Sellers who breach the rules are removed and their pending settlements are held pending investigation.
After the buyer confirms handover or delivery, or when the inspection window closes with no dispute raised. Raising an issue within the window freezes settlement while the case is reviewed. Exact windows by category are set out in the Refunds & Cancellations Policy.
Payments are processed under our trading name, so your statement will show A-SERVICE-A. If you do not recognise a charge, email support@nexivlabs.com or call +1 (323) 289-0039 with the date and amount and we will identify it for you before you contact your bank.
No. Nexiv Pets is a marketplace: the contract of sale is between the buyer and the verified seller. We operate the platform, run verification, hold funds in escrow and adjudicate disputes — we are not the seller of record for animal listings.
