Real example. Purely illustrative example applying the tiers marginally, not a billing forecast: A manufacturer selling 250,000 CHF over 12 months on BarMaker.ch pays a weighted average commission of about 17.4% — i.e. ~43,500 CHF in commission, keeping ~206,500 CHF paid directly via Stripe Connect. From 200,000 CHF every additional order is billed at 15% — guaranteed floor.

Everything we get asked.
- On what amount is the commission computed?
- On gross revenue excl. VAT collected via BarMaker.ch over the past 12 rolling months. Each new order recomputes the applicable tier automatically.
- What happens if I move from one tier to another mid-year?
- It's instant. As soon as your rolling revenue crosses a threshold, the next order is collected at the new rate. No manual action needed.
- Can the rate go back up?
- Yes. If your rolling 12-month revenue falls below a threshold, the corresponding tier applies and your rate may increase. The minimum possible rate is 15%.
- Are there hidden fees?
- No. No signup fee, no subscription, no listing fee. The sliding commission is our only revenue source. Stripe applies its standard card-processing fees directly (~1.5% in Europe).
- Why 25% at the start?
- Because acquiring a premium hospitality buyer is expensive. The more you sell on the platform, the more that cost amortises — hence the slide down to 15%.
