Common errors with thebrave.io lines
-
Seller ID not found
17,799 lines
Ask thebrave.io for the account ID it lists for you in its sellers.json, correct the line, or remove it if you no longer work with them. Buyers that check sellers.json drop these paths.
-
DIRECT but intermediary
9,117 lines
If a partner holds this account and resells your inventory, the line should say RESELLER. If the account is yours, ask thebrave.io to list it as PUBLISHER.
-
Seller type BOTH
2,913 lines
The account is listed as BOTH, so sellers.json alone cannot tell a buyer which relationship applies. Nothing to fix on your side; buyers usually look at the seller's domain.
-
RESELLER but publisher
1,143 lines
If the account is yours, declare it DIRECT. If a partner holds it, ask thebrave.io why the account is listed as PUBLISHER.
