# Transaction fees

Vendor Space uses a simple, transparent pricing model. There are no monthly subscriptions, no setup costs, and no per-event charges. You only pay when you get paid.

***

## How fees work

Vendor Space charges a **percentage-based transaction fee** on each payment processed through the platform. The fee depends on your plan:

| Plan     | Transaction fee    |
| -------- | ------------------ |
| **Free** | 6% per transaction |

The fee is applied automatically as a Stripe application fee at the time of checkout.

***

## What vendors see

Vendors see **only the product price** on their checkout page. The Vendor Space transaction fee is completely invisible to them. They are not charged anything extra on top of the listed price.

For example, if you set a booth price at $500:

* The vendor pays **$500**
* Vendor Space deducts the transaction fee before the remaining amount reaches your Stripe account

***

## Where the fee is deducted

The fee is deducted automatically **before funds are deposited** into your connected Stripe account. You do not need to pay it separately or track it manually.

> **Tip:** You can see the exact fee amount for each transaction on the Transactions page in Vendor Space, or in your Stripe Dashboard under the payment details.

***

## Stripe's own processing fees

In addition to the Vendor Space transaction fee, Stripe charges its own standard payment processing fees. These are set by Stripe and apply to all payments processed through their platform. You can review Stripe's current pricing on their website.

> **Tip:** When setting your booth and add-on prices, keep both the Vendor Space fee and Stripe's processing fees in mind so your pricing covers your costs.

***

## No hidden charges

To summarize what you will never be charged for:

* No monthly or annual subscription fees
* No setup or onboarding costs
* No per-event charges
* No fees for generating payment links
* No fees for unused features

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://vendorspace.gitbook.io/docs/payments/transaction-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
