Rakuten seller fees compared with Martiqo
Every marketplace takes a cut, but they take it in very different ways. Some charge a percentage of every sale, some charge a yearly subscription and nothing per order, and some charge almost nothing until you pay for visibility. This page lays out what each one costs, using figures from their own published fee schedules.
Platform take only: an estimated 5% payment processing is removed from the marketplaces whose commission bundles it, and from Martiqo, on the same estimate — so you compare platform take like for like. Platforms with no bundled processing (subscription, membership, consignment and self-hosted) are shown unchanged. Switch to Total cost for all-in figures.
