How does the commission system work?
You set your commission rate (up to 5%) during setup. When a customer makes a purchase the payment is split automatically: your commission goes to you, the processing fee and the Zinifly platform fee are deducted, and the rest goes to the vendor. On a $100.00 sale with 5% commission, you receive $5.00 and the vendor receives $89.30.
Do vendors need technical skills to set up their stores?
No. The vendor dashboard is designed to be intuitive. Vendors set up their store, add products with photos and descriptions, and start selling in a short sitting. Video tutorials and support are there to help them get started.
What fees come out of a sale?
Three things are deducted from each sale before the vendor is paid: Stripe’s standard processing fee (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction), the Zinifly platform fee (2.5% of the product subtotal) and your commission (the rate you set, up to 5% of the product subtotal). On a $100.00 sale at 5% commission that is $3.20, $2.50 and $5.00, leaving the vendor $89.30.
Can vendors manage their own inventory?
Yes. Each vendor has complete control over their inventory: unlimited products, stock quantities, product variants such as sizes and colors, automatic stock tracking as sales are made, and low-stock alerts.
How quickly do vendors receive their payments?
Payments are processed immediately through Stripe Connect. Vendors typically receive funds in their bank account on Stripe’s standard payout schedule, and your commission is deposited on the same schedule.
What if I want to change my commission rate?
You can adjust your commission rate any time from your admin dashboard. Changes take effect immediately for new orders, so you can run promotions or adjust rates seasonally.
