Become an ESA vendor in Iowa
Iowa ESA · paid through Odyssey. The registration picture, cited to the program’s own paper. Free, no account needed.
Yes, as an Odyssey marketplace listing, so there's no invoice and no reimbursement. A parent's purchase from their account is the payment request, and you're paid after you confirm fulfillment. No fee we've seen, and Iowa hasn't published a payout window.
What you'll need
- Bank / ACH details
- Background check / fingerprint clearance
A free account fills this in from your own Vault and Settings, and keeps it filled in.
The path in
Create your Iowa vendor account on Odyssey's registration form. The signup notice tells you a background check is part of it.
- Set up Stripe
Marketplace payouts run through Stripe, so connect your account.
- List your offering
You list what you offer, and the parent's purchase through Odyssey is the payment request. Anything bought outside the marketplace isn't eligible.
Only purchases made inside the Odyssey marketplace count. If a family pays you outside it, that money can't be reimbursed.
