Fees and Commission Structure

Overview

At the Great British Farmers Market, we are committed to transparency and fairness.

Our fees and commission structure are designed to cover both our operational costs providing the best possible features and support the ongoing development of our platform while ensuring that you, our sellers, can thrive.

We have no shareholders so you, our sellers and your customers, are our first and only concern.

Commission on Sales

Great British Farmers Market retains a commission on each sale made through the platform to allow us to provide you with the best possible service and support. We only charge a small fixed commission based on your sales to cover our fixed costs.

You keep the majority of your revenue - 90% goes directly to you.

This covers your product costs, labour, shipping and helps grow your business.

Use your earnings to invest back into your farm or artisan craft, ensuring a sustainable and profitable business model.

We focus on keeping your share as high as possible.
