FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

Why can the effective take rate be higher than the posted rate?

Because flat fees and stacked charges can raise the real share taken from the sale, especially on smaller orders.

Does this work for marketplaces too?

Yes. It works anywhere the underlying fee engine can estimate the total fees for the selected platform and inputs.
