Business Pro Phase 270

Retailer Role Boundary QA Gate

A shop may claim it sells groceries, medicine, furniture, clothes, meat, hardware, electronics, food, services, or any local product, but FAEDA must not treat that as verified retail truth. Retailer power begins only after shop verification, product identity mapping, source links, availability checks, price controls, order gates, delivery gates, and payment/accounting approvals pass.

Phase rule

Retailer is local selling intent, not shelf or sale truth

Phase 270 designs the retailer role boundary QA gate only. It records whether a future FAEDA retailer route clearly separates retailer interest, shop claim, location claim, owner/operator claim, product listing draft, shelf stock, wholesale source, local pricing, availability, customer inquiry, order request, POS, COD, settlement, loyalty, delivery handoff, and Business Pro access. It does not create a retailer profile, approve a shop, publish listings, verify shelf stock, accept orders, reserve goods, activate POS, collect payments, post ledger, settle payouts, or claim retailer runtime readiness. No real contact, CRM task, account creation, onboarding approval, listing activation, order, payment, wallet, commission, ledger, export, or partner sync is created in this phase.

Retailer proof

What retailer boundary QA must capture

Evidence chain

The retailer-boundary packet must reference Phase 269 wholesaler boundary, Phase 268 manufacturer boundary, Phase 267 supplier boundary, Phase 266 shopkeeper boundary, Phase 265 customer boundary, and Phase 264 role-routing evidence.

Role state

The route must distinguish public visitor, retailer interest, shop claimant, outlet claimant, pending retailer, verified retailer, approved selling point, and Business Pro retailer.

Shop boundary

A storefront photo, board photo, visiting card, phone verification, rent note, invoice, old receipt, QR image, or FAEDA Team note must not become verified shop truth by itself.

Location boundary

GPS pin, street name, delivery area, mohallah tag, zone tag, branch label, and pickup point must remain pending until location and field verification gates approve them.

Product boundary

Product name, brand, variant, unit, barcode, photo, category, price, discount, offer, expiry, and substitute items must remain draft/pending until product data and listing gates approve them.

Stock boundary

Shelf quantity, backroom quantity, reserved quantity, damaged stock, expired stock, returns, reorder level, and stock adjustment must not become inventory truth here.

Order boundary

Inquiry, reservation, cart, checkout, POS sale, COD, online payment, delivery request, cancellation, return, refund, and loyalty must not activate from the role route.

Settlement boundary

Retailer receivable, platform fee, rider fee, COD due, partner receivable, commission, ledger posting, holds, disputes, tax, and payout must remain later-gated.

Retailer controls

How the retailer role stays safe

1Retailer role QA must not click retailer dashboard, claim shop, verify outlet, upload proof, publish product listing, set price, set offer, add stock, reserve stock, accept customer order, open POS, collect COD, request rider, upload invoice, request settlement, or activate Business Pro controls.
2Retailer route must not treat wholesaler verification, manufacturer verification, supplier verification, phone verification, FAEDA Team notes, public lead interest, product photos, shop board photos, or old receipts as verified retail capacity.
3Shop address, branch, category, owner/operator, product listing, price, discount, offer, availability, opening hours, delivery area, source link, and shelf stock must stay draft, pending, demo-only, or unavailable until later gates approve them.
4Customer inquiry, order request, reservation, cart, checkout, POS, COD, delivery handoff, return, refund, loyalty, invoice, ledger, and settlement paths must not display real totals or claim operational truth here.
5Retail listing must not expose wholesaler costs, manufacturer costs, supplier terms, customer private data, rider earnings, payment references, internal margin, private stock movement, or protected shop intelligence.
6Retailer views must not imply licensed wallet ownership, partner payment execution, available balance, payable approval, receivable approval, tax approval, settlement success, or payout readiness.
7Retailer surfaces must not expose supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, customer, rider, FAEDA Team, partner, founder, admin, evidence/audit, or finance operations as normal retailer options.
8Safe retailer routing does not prove shop verification, product listing runtime, availability runtime, inventory runtime, POS runtime, order runtime, delivery runtime, settlement runtime, or public upload readiness.
