Do Big Cartel Take a Cut?

While it's easy to think of Big Cartel as a marketplace, this is not the case. The store you create using Big Cartel will be an individual, standalone site. Plus, Big Cartel doesn't take a cut of your sales, as many marketplaces do.

What percentage does Big Cartel take?

Big Cartel partners with just two such services for online orders: Stripe and PayPal. Stripe's transaction fee is 2.9% of the total transaction cost plus $0.30, while Paypal's transaction fee is the exact same: 2.9% plus $0.30.

Does Big Cartel take money?

Because Big Cartel does not charge listing fees or transaction fees (although, as usual, your payment processer will) it's often considered a natural next step for creative users who have grown dissatisfied with Etsy costs and restrictions.
