What Xiaodou Market is

Xiaodou Market (小豆集市) is a marketplace and consignment platform for digital goods. A seller opens a store, uploads products or imports card keys, and shares the store link with buyers. The platform provides the storefront, checkout, payment orchestration and automatic delivery.

• Consignment, not a self-hosted faka system: you do not need a server, source code or your own payment integration.
• Buyers do not register: they open the seller’s store link, pay, and see the card key on the order page.
• Funds are cleared and settled by a licensed payment institution; the platform does not run a funds pool.
• Physical goods are currently limited to same-city in-person handover; shipping is not available.

Who can open a store

Store opening is available to sellers in mainland China. Individual sellers need a mainland-China ID and a mainland-China bank card; a business license is not required. Sole proprietorships and companies submit the documents listed on the onboarding page.

• All sellers complete identity verification and manual review; approval is not instant.
• Opening a store is free: there is no deposit and no annual fee.
• The platform does not open accounts for sellers outside mainland China.

What you can sell

• Card keys, activation codes and redemption codes.
• Online courses, ebooks and paid knowledge products.
• Software licenses, design assets and templates.
• Membership benefits, game items and anime virtual items.
• Physical goods for same-city in-person handover only.

The prohibited-items list has 13 categories, including account trading, piracy, cheats, virtual currency, weapons, adult content, gambling, financial violations and tobacco products. Violating listings are removed.

How automatic delivery works

1. The seller imports card keys into a product, or sources stock from the supply square.
2. The buyer opens the store link, chooses a product, enters a contact phone or email and pays. No account is needed.
3. After the payment succeeds, the system delivers the card key to the order page immediately.
4. The order completes automatically one minute after delivery. The seller does not click a ship button.

Virtual card keys can be ordered 24/7, including nights and holidays.

Fees and settlement

• Opening a store is free. The platform charges a 1.5% service fee only when an order is paid.
• The seller receives 98.5% of the order amount. The processing fee starts at ¥0.01.
• Fees are calculated when the order is created and written into the order. A later rule change does not rewrite completed orders.
• Settlement is paid to the seller’s bound mainland-China bank card before noon the next day, including holidays. There is no withdrawal button.

The platform does not touch the money: collection, split payment and settlement are performed by a licensed payment institution.

Payment methods

Payments are accepted through Alipay and WeChat Pay. Within Alipay, buyers can choose Huabei or a credit card; within WeChat Pay, buyers can choose a credit card. Availability is subject to what the cashier displays at checkout. Huabei and credit cards are payment tools inside the cashier, not separate payment channels.

Buyers do not need an account. Order information is retained for 180 days and can be looked up with the contact phone or email, or with the order number.

Boundaries and compliance

• The platform does not provide a self-hosted faka source code or a “no-signature” / fourth-party collection service.
• The only proof of a successful payment is the successful result returned by the licensed payment institution.
• Virtual card keys have a 48-hour after-sales window after delivery. Physical goods are completed when paid and have no time limit for after-sales support.
• Xiaodou Market and Xiaodou Open Platform are operated by the same company. Xiaodou Open Platform is a payment API for merchants that already run their own system; it is not a storefront.
