SellerOffer

Last updated: 2026-05-31 — added TRY pricing support for oracle/depeg quoting.

A seller's bid against a PurchaseRequest. Stores the proposed price, the delivery time commitment, optional notes/attachments, and a small status machine (pending / accepted / rejected / withdrawn). The parent PurchaseRequest keeps the array of offer ids in offers[] and the chosen one in selectedOfferId.

Service notes

createOffer — eligible parent request statuses

createOffer in SellerOfferService permits offers against a PurchaseRequest whose status is pending, received_offers, or active. Attempts against any other status are rejected.

withdrawOffer() — frontend action available

SellerOfferService.withdrawOffer() is not a dedicated HTTP route. The correct API path is PUT /api/marketplace/offers/:id/status with { status: 'withdrawn' }.

The frontend exposes this via the withdrawOffer(offerId) action in src/actions/marketplace.ts (added commit 240a668). It is called from:

• step-2-waiting-for-payment.tsx (edit/cancel controls while requestDetails.status === 'received_offers')
• frontend/src/app/dashboard/seller/marketplace/offers/page.tsx (Offer Management page, bulk view)

Relationships

• References: User (sellerId), PurchaseRequest (purchaseRequestId).
• Referenced by: PurchaseRequest (offers[], selectedOfferId), Payment (sellerOfferId), Chat (relatedTo.id when relatedTo.type === 'SellerOffer').

Common Queries

// Offers for a request
SellerOffer.find({ purchaseRequestId }).sort({ createdAt: -1 });

// Seller's active offers
SellerOffer.find({ sellerId, status: 'pending' });

// Reject siblings on accept
SellerOffer.updateMany(
  { purchaseRequestId, _id: { $ne: acceptedId }, status: 'pending' },
  { status: 'rejected' }
);

// Cleanup expired offers
SellerOffer.find({ validUntil: { $lt: new Date() }, status: 'pending' });
