Quick answer
How much does a marketplace make?
Most online marketplaces charge sellers a commission of 5-30% per transaction. A marketplace doing $10,000 in monthly GMV at a 10% commission rate collects $1,000 in commission, or roughly $700 in net revenue after Prometora's 1.5% platform fee and the $149/mo Professional plan (sellers cover Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction). Use the calculator below to project your own numbers, or read the commission rates guide for benchmark data by category.

Frequently Asked Questions
Actual revenue may vary depending on factors like refund rates, chargebacks, and seasonal fluctuations. Use it as a planning tool to understand potential earnings.
• Your commission rate — the percentage you set
• Prometora platform fee — varies by plan: 2% (Starter), 1.5% (Professional), 1% (Business)
• Stripe processing fee — Stripe's standard card rate for your selected currency's region (e.g. 2.9% + $0.30 for USD, 1.5% + €0.25 for EUR, 1.5% + 1.80 kr for DKK). Actual rates vary by card type and country, so treat the Stripe line as an estimate
Stripe's fee comes out of the seller's payout, so it doesn't reduce your commission. The per-transaction breakdown shows it for the full picture, but your net revenue is your commission minus Prometora's fee and subscription.
See Stripe's marketplace payments docs for how their fees work in your region.
• Your commission — deducted from the seller's side of the sale the moment a buyer pays. It never comes out of your pocket; it's your revenue.
• Stripe's processing fee — also deducted from the seller's payout at the time of sale. It does not reduce your commission.
• Prometora's platform fee — the only fee that's yours to pay, and it is not deducted from individual transactions. Your commission reaches you in full; Prometora's fee is totalled up and billed once a month, together with your subscription.
So on each sale: the buyer pays the full price, the seller receives the price minus your commission and Stripe's fee, and you receive your full commission. Once a month you pay one invoice covering your subscription plus that month's platform fees.Example: a $100 sale at 10% commission (Professional plan)On every sale — automaticBuyer pays $100.00→ Seller receives $86.80 (after your $10 commission and Stripe's $3.20)→ You receive $10.00 — your commission, in fullOnce a month — one invoicePrometora bills youSubscription $149.00+ Platform fee 1.5% of the month's salesNever deducted from your payouts.
When someone opens the link, the calculator automatically loads your commission rate, AOV, monthly orders, and selected plan. Great for sharing projections with co-founders or investors.
It factors in your commission rate, AOV, and Prometora fees to give you a realistic order target.
Once you exceed break-even, every additional order is pure profit (minus Prometora's small transaction fee). The calculator shows you exactly where this threshold is.
For example, if your GMV is $5,000 and your net revenue is $300, your profit margin is 6% of GMV. This helps you understand your take-home rate at a glance.
