Questions about marketplace commissions
What commission should a marketplace charge?
There is no single right rate: it depends on your sellers’ margins, what competitors charge and how much value you add to each sale. Start from your costs: the reverse mode above gives the lowest commission that reaches your target margin, then check that your sellers can live with it. Our guide to marketplace pricing strategy goes through the trade-offs.
What is the difference between GMV and platform revenue?
GMV (gross merchandise value) is everything buyers pay through your marketplace. Most of it belongs to your sellers. Your platform revenue is the part you keep: your commission, plus any subscription or listing fees sellers pay you.
Who pays the payment fees, the marketplace or the sellers?
It depends on how your payments are set up. With Stripe Connect, the processing fees are often charged to the marketplace, which is what this calculator assumes. Some marketplaces pass them on to sellers or add a buyer service fee: in that case, set the fees to 0 or raise your commission to match.
Does Kreezalid take a commission on my sales?
No. Kreezalid takes 0 % of your sales on every plan: you set your own commission and keep all of it. Your plan is a flat monthly fee with a transaction allowance, and payment fees are billed by your payment provider. See the plans and prices.
