Every Number Proven Before a Euro Moves

Listing is free. Checking your numbers against real orders is free too, always. Self-serve is 5% (minimum EUR 500), paid at close, and it is open at any price. At EUR 100k and up you can choose full-service instead - 12% on the first EUR 500k and 9% on anything above that (minimum EUR 10k) - where we run the deal for you. Either way you only pay when a deal actually closes. The one thing you can buy up front is Kairos Verified: a human doing the due diligence by hand, EUR 2,500 or EUR 5,000 depending on size, and it comes off the success fee at close.

Depends on the lane you pick. Self-serve is open at any price: we host the listing and verify your data, but we never negotiate, never advise on your specific price, and never touch the money - that is a finder role, not a broker role. Full-service, which you can choose at EUR 100k and up (where it's available), is where we run the whole process: valuation, buyer matching, negotiation support, and the deal all the way to close - that is a broker role. Above EUR 100k it's your call which one you want.

We connect to your Shopify store through a read-only API and check your reported revenue against your real ORDER data - not website visits, which is the loophole bot-traffic scams use on other marketplaces. Refund rate gets held against the normal benchmark too. That leaves 4 of the 8 checks needing a feed Kairos does not pull: ad spend, traffic sources, processor payouts, and the payments disputes feed. Those come back unchecked, never passed, unless a person opens the accounts by hand in the paid Kairos Verified tier. A human reviews every flag before we publish the memo.

No - never. Every deal settles through a licensed third-party escrow provider. Funds never touch a Kairos account, by design, with zero exceptions.

Any Shopify-based ecom store, at launch. Self-serve listing is open almost everywhere. Full-service brokerage is geo-gated for a small number of US states and countries at launch, until we've cleared the local licensing rules there - self-serve stays open to those sellers in the meantime.

Self-serve moves at the pace the buyer and seller agree on between themselves. Full-service targets under 120 days from a live listing to a closed deal, which matches the industry's best vetted-marketplace pace.

Data refreshes weekly while you're listed. If the live numbers drift more than 20% from what buyers were shown, the listing is automatically flagged for a re-review. One confirmed strike gets a listing delisted and the seller banned - and we publish that rejection count, not just the wins.

Because everything that makes the deal safe lives here. You get numbers verified from real order data, a deal room with a shared time-stamped record, licensed third-party escrow so the money is protected until the transfer is done, and a step-by-step transfer playbook. Close off the platform and you give all of that up - no escrow, no verified numbers, no transfer help, and no one to call if it goes wrong. The fee is only paid at close, and it buys the part of the deal that is easiest to get wrong.

Buyers accept a one-time NDA before they see a seller's private numbers, and it includes a 24-month non-circumvention promise: if Kairos is where you first met the other side, the deal runs through Kairos even if you try to close it elsewhere. Sellers agree to the same in our terms. We log who accepted what and when, and we watch for the usual signs. Going around the platform to dodge the fee is a breach - the fee is still owed.

Kairos is in Phase 0 right now, building toward launch. Waitlist members get first access to listings and buyer tools as soon as we open, plus updates as the trust engine gets built out.

You shouldn't trust us on our record, because we don't have one yet, and we say so on every page that quotes a number. Trust the mechanism instead: read-only Shopify data, 8 published checks, a memo that names what could not be read, and escrow that keeps the money out of our hands.

Yes, and you keep control of it. You create a read-only token yourself and hand it over. Kairos can read order history to verify it. It cannot change products, settings, customers, or money. Revoking the token stops us reading, and it takes one click.

Before you buy: live data is re-checked every week, and a drift over 20% flags the listing, drops it back to Unverified, and puts it in front of a person. After you buy: verification is a point-in-time check of past data, not a warranty. It informs your due diligence. It never replaces it. The Deal Terms both sides sign - the buyer at offer, the seller at acceptance - have the seller stand behind the listed numbers as matching their real store data, so a false number is a breach of that agreement and your claim runs against the seller, not against the memo.

Software does the part software is good at: matching reported revenue against the store's own orders, every week. A person does the rest. In the paid tier a named analyst opens the raw accounts by hand, interviews the seller on a recorded call, and signs the memo. We will tell you who did the work if you ask.

Yes, and the checklist does not change. The same 8 checks run whether or not ZenoX already manages that store's ads. Nobody can pay for a softer check or a better result. How we handle conflicts of interest is written out in full on the about page.
