Questions? We’ve got answers.
Portlazon is built to make shopping local feel easy. Here are the most common questions about ordering, shipping, payments, and selling.
Shopping & Orders
What is Portlazon?
Portlazon is a local marketplace for Portland and the broader Pacific Northwest. We bring independent sellers together in one place so you can shop local brands, add items to one cart, and check out once.

Can I buy from multiple sellers in one order?
Yes. You can mix products from multiple sellers into one cart and complete a single checkout. Each seller fulfills their portion of the order, so multi-seller orders may arrive in multiple packages.
Browse what’s available in Shop All.
Do you have gift cards?
Yep. Portlazon gift cards are a solid way to support local businesses while letting the recipient pick the perfect thing.
Grab one here: Gift Cards.
Shipping, Pickup & Delivery
How is shipping calculated?
Shipping is calculated per seller. In your cart, we default to the lowest-cost shipping option available. If a seller offers faster delivery options, you can upgrade shipping before checkout.
For the full policy, see Shipping & Returns.
Why can shipping cost more when I buy from multiple sellers?
Multi-seller carts often mean multiple fulfillments. Each seller ships from their own location, using their own shipping policy, so the total shipping reflects the combined cost across sellers.
Do you offer local pickup?
Some sellers offer local pickup (and sometimes local delivery). When available, you’ll see that option in the cart.

Returns, Refunds & Order Issues
Can I return an item?
Returns are handled by individual sellers, since each item comes from a different business. Return eligibility and timelines are listed on product pages and in our policy.
Read the details here: Shipping & Returns.
What if something arrives damaged or incorrect?
If there’s an issue with your order, reach out as soon as you can so we can make it right. The fastest route is usually contacting the seller directly, but our support team can help if needed.

Where can I see my order status and tracking?
You can view your orders and tracking from your account. Multi-seller orders may show multiple tracking numbers.
Head to Login and check your account.
Payments, Security & Trust
Is checkout secure?
Yes. Payments are processed through Stripe, and Portlazon never stores your full card details.
You can review how we handle data in our Privacy Policy.
How do sellers get paid?
Sellers are paid through our secure payments system. Each seller receives earnings from their sales on Portlazon (minus any applicable fees) based on the payout schedule and order status.
Do you keep my personal information private?
Yes. We only collect what’s needed to process orders and provide support. We don’t sell your personal information.
Details: Privacy Policy.
