FAQs
Where will I manage orders?
Your orders will still be managed through your e-commerce platform.
How do I receive payment?
You will be paid through Stripe for purchases made on PublicSquare. In the event of a refund, all fees will be returned to you.
Why the 12% commission rate?
This rate allows us to cover all the payment and integration fees. It is also significantly lower than the commission rate of the leading e-commerce platforms and will help us continue to grow America's Marketplace.
