Transparent Commission. Realeinkommen.

Supplier sets the merchant commission rate. Lesuto takes a flat 10% platform fee (includes CC processing) because the supplier handles their own fulfillment, customer support, and returns. The supplier receives the rest.

Higher-margin digital goods like architectural plans. Lesuto takes the same flat 10% platform fee as physical products (includes CC processing). Merchants earn 25% on commissionable CAD/PDF sets. The designer receives the rest.

Products added to an existing sale where the merchant doesn't earn commission. Supplier keeps nearly everything - only CC processing is deducted.

Lesuto sources products directly from manufacturers and suppliers, purchasing inventory upfront. Merchant commission varies based on the profit margin of each product. Because Lesuto owns the inventory and assumes the risk, the split is determined by what the product costs us versus what it sells for - not a fixed percentage.

Lesuto manages products from suppliers end-to-end - we handle customer support, front the money, manage the wholesale relationship, process returns, and absorb the risk. Because we take on the full operational load, our commission varies based on the complexity and cost of managing each product category.
