The fine print
The commission rate is only half the bill.
The headline percentage is the part you can see. These four costs are what turn a 20% plan into a 30% reality.
Payment processing
Most marketplaces add roughly 2.9% plus $0.30 per order on top of commission, before you ever see the deposit.
Sponsored placement
Ads and promoted listings are pay-to-play. Skip them and your orders drop. Run them and your effective rate climbs past 30%.
Promotions you fund
Free delivery and dollar-off deals are often charged back to you, not the platform. The discount comes out of your margin.
Customer data you never get
The marketplace keeps the name, email, and phone. You cannot text, email, or win back the guest. You rent the relationship.
