CopeCart Fee: Essential Details

For Sellers:

For Affiliates and Joint Venture Partners (JVPs):

  • Good news! Using CopeCart is free if you are an affiliate or a JVP.

  • Note: Vendors always receive their share after all deductions.

Order of Deductions:

Billing Examples for Clarity

Let's break down a typical billing scenario to illustrate how these calculations come into play.

Example Scenario:

  • Gross Amount: $1,100

  • Tax Rate: 10%

  • CopeCart Fee: 10 % of the net amount, plus $1

Calculations:

  • Net Amount:

  • Net Amount = Gross Amount βˆ’ Tax βˆ’ CopeCart Commission

  • Example: $1,100 βˆ’ $100 (Tax) βˆ’ $101 (CopeCart Commission) = $899

The vendor will receive the full net income of $899 if the transaction doesn't include affiliates or JVP.

However, if the transaction includes an affiliate and JVP, the net income will be split as follows:

  • Affiliate Commission:

    • Example: 30% of commission (set by the vendor)

    • $899 x 30 % = $269.70 of income for the affiliate

  • Total Income for the Vendor:

    • Total Income = Gross Amount βˆ’ Tax βˆ’ CopeCart Commission βˆ’ Affiliate Commission

    • Example: $1,100 βˆ’ $100 βˆ’ $101 βˆ’ $269.70 = $629.30 of income for the vendor

  • JVPs commission:

    In this example, we'll include two JVPs in the transaction. One with 20% of commission and the other with 30%, the vendor's share is the remaining 50%.

    • Example:

      JVP 1 (20% of Total Income): $629.30 x 20% = $125.86

      JVP 2 (30% of Total Income): $629.30 x 30% = $188.79

      Vendor’s Net Earned Amount: $629.30 - $125.86 - $188.79 = $314.65
