Before you can create a vendor, you must activate Connect on your account. This step sets your connect_mode, the setting that decides who bears the Yabetoo fees on every collection.

​
Activation happens from your dashboard

Open Connect in the dashboard

Yabetoo dashboard, Connect section.
1

Open the Connect section

Sign in to the dashboard and go to Connect.
2

Choose your mode

Two cards are offered, marketplace and platform. Neither is pre-selected, and the button stays locked until you make a choice.
3

Confirm

Connect is active immediately. You can create your first vendor.
This choice is final. connect_mode is immutable: there is no way to change it afterwards, neither in the dashboard nor through the API. Read Commissions and pricing before you confirm.
Activation is per account and per environment: activating in test does not activate in production. Repeat the step with your production account.

​
Choosing your mode

Both modes are worked through with figures in Commissions and pricing. The same rate does not earn the same amount in each: that is the first thing to understand before choosing.

​
Checking your account state through the API

Your integration can read the mode at any time, without going through the dashboard.
200
connect_mode is "marketplace", "platform", or null if Connect is not activated.
This route always returns 200, never 404: “not activated yet” is a first-class state, not an error. That is what lets you render your own onboarding screen without branching on an error code.
As long as Connect is not activated, every vendor creation is refused with a 422 whose body carries connect.controller_mode_unset. This is the most common symptom on the first day of an integration.
