How are seller fees calculated?

We aim to keep fees fair and transparent so you can keep more of your earnings.

How the fee structure works #

  • 2% Platform Commission
    This is our fixed fee on each completed sale. It is calculated on the product price before tax and helps cover marketing, seller support, and platform maintenance.
  • Transaction Fee
    Stripe, our secure payment processor, charges a fee per order. This varies depending on the buyer’s payment method and currency, and is deducted from the total (including tax).

Typical Transaction Fees (UK-based sellers) #

ScenarioFee Charged by Stripe
Buyer pays in GBP, seller receives GBP1.5% + 20p per transaction
Buyer pays in foreign currency (e.g. EUR)1.5% + 1.5% conversion + 20p = 3% + 20p
International card paymentsAdd 1% extra to the base fee

Note: Transaction fees are non-refundable, even if the order is cancelled or refunded.

Typical Example (with VAT)

Based on a customer paying £120 (e.g. £100 product price + £20 VAT):

  • Our platform fee (2% of £100 pre-tax price): £2.00
  • Stripe fee (UK card): £1.80 (1.5% of £120 + 20p)
  • You receive: £116.20 (includes full VAT — seller must account for tax)

(If the buyer pays in a different currency, a conversion fee may reduce the payout slightly.)

Why Do Sellers Pay Transaction Fees? #

Stripe handles all payments securely and transfers the earnings to each seller. These transaction fees are standard across the industry — similar to Etsy, PayPal and other platforms. They are deducted by Stripe and passed on directly. The platform does not retain any portion of the Stripe fee.
