PO financing lets you accept and fulfill orders you could not otherwise afford to stock — without draining your cash or taking on a traditional loan.
Blockchain escrow is just a neutral, rule-based holding account that no single party can raid. Here is why that protects your business.
For suppliers: set up your profile, showcase your products, and see how purchase order deals pay you.
Your supplier profile is your storefront on Mercato. A complete, verified profile is what turns a browsing PyME into a purchase order.
PyMEs choose suppliers they can evaluate quickly and trust. Clear descriptions, honest pricing, and good photos do most of the selling for you.
As a supplier, you get partial payment up front and the rest as you deliver — with funds secured in escrow before you ship a thing.
New to vaults and deals? Learn where yield comes from and how to put idle USDC to work between deals.
Think of a vault as a shared, rule-based savings pool that puts idle dollars to work while you stay in control of your wallet.
Vault yield is not magic — it is interest paid by borrowers who use the liquidity your USDC provides.
Use the vault as your liquid staging area — earn on idle USDC, then deploy into deals without leaving Mercato.
