No per-listing charge at launch.
Makers can create and maintain listings without ClaraWide charging a launch listing fee.
FEES & SERVICES · PLAIN LANGUAGE
Know what ClaraWide earns before you sell a thing.
ClaraWide should make money when the marketplace creates value—not by hiding charges or selling unfair visibility. This page separates the core marketplace fee from optional maker services and clearly labels what is not finalized yet.
THE CLARAWIDE PROMISE
Performance earns recognition.
Spending never buys reach.
Based on eligible merchandise sold.
The ClaraWide seller fee is calculated from the maker's eligible merchandise amount after maker discounts. Shipping and tax are not included in this 5% marketplace fee.
No separate ClaraWide buyer fee is modeled for launch.
Shoppers still pay the order price, applicable shipping, and applicable tax. ClaraWide is not adding a separate buyer platform surcharge in this launch foundation.
FEE EXAMPLES

Change the merchandise and maker-discount amounts below. This calculator is explanatory only and does not create an order.
Eligible merchandise after discount
$90.00
ClaraWide 5% seller fee
$4.50
Shipping and tax stay outside that calculation.
Payment-processor charges, if any, will be shown separately once ClaraWide's production payment provider and final processing terms are connected. This prototype does not invent or hide an unconfirmed processor rate.
The fee follows the actual eligible merchandise amount.
- Maker discount: the merchandise is discounted first; the ClaraWide fee is then calculated from that reduced eligible amount.
- Eligible merchandise refund: the related ClaraWide fee reverses proportionally instead of ClaraWide keeping the full original fee.
- Refund before payout: the pending maker amount is reduced before money is released.
- Refund after payout: the resolved amount may debit the maker balance or offset a future payout.
- Processor chargeback or external network fees: kept separate from ClaraWide's own marketplace fee when production processing is connected.
Faster payouts are earned, not purchased.
New shops begin on the more protective payout schedule. Reliable fulfillment, valid tracking, low dispute/refund problems, responsive service, and sustained good standing can move a shop into faster payout tiers.
New ShopAfter confirmed delivery or another verified fulfillment milestone.
EstablishedFaster release after a clean fulfillment history.
TrustedMay receive payouts within a few days of purchase.
A theme purchase, Clara Shop Build project, advertising concept, or any other optional spend cannot buy a faster payout tier.

OPTIONAL MAKER SERVICES
You can pay for tools or work—not favoritism.
Optional purchases exist to customize or improve a shop. They never purchase search rank, feed distribution, Spotlight rotation, Clara's Picks, or Top Shops recognition.
Optional storefront themes can be purchased and kept on the maker account. Final theme pricing is not locked on this foundation page.
Open Theme Studio →A repeatable one-time build, redesign, seasonal refresh, or rebrand service. Pricing is quoted by project scope—not a recurring subscription.
See Shop Build Services →The highest shop-build scope includes one eligible premium ClaraWide theme. That included theme stays owned by the maker after the project.
See Signature Build →
NO PAY-TO-WIN
Money does not buy marketplace recognition.
New Shop Spotlight rotation, Top Shops, Clara's Picks, organic search, and social/feed discovery must remain governed by their own eligibility, relevance, quality, trust, and performance rules—not by which maker spent the most money with ClaraWide.

If ClaraWide changes a fee later, makers should know before it takes effect.
Launch settings are not a promise that every fee stays unchanged forever. If ClaraWide adds or changes a required marketplace fee in the future, the production policy should state the new amount, effective date, affected transactions, and required notice before the change applies.
Optional service pricing may also change over time, but an already-approved project or completed purchase should keep the terms attached to that specific transaction unless a clearly disclosed correction or refund applies.
