Fee Details

Category Scope and Applicability
Commission rates vary by category. Home & Living tends to be on the higher side, reaching up to 12% commision on each order from what we've seen. This also applies to Home & Living subcategories, e.g., living room, kids’ room, office, kitchen & dining, hallway/wardrobe, lighting, home textiles, and small furniture.

Additional/Optional Costs
There are no mandatory fixed fees beyond the 12% commission for Home & Living. Optional advertising or promotional placements may incur additional charges depending on campaign type and volume. Standard operational costs (e.g., shipping, packaging, returns, payment fees) remain with the merchant.

Payouts and Operations
Orders are forwarded to the merchant for fulfillment, and payouts are made every 14 days to the designated bank account. Settlement details (e.g., statements, chargebacks) are available in the Merchant Center.
