How the B2B Discount Policy Works
Applying the Discount
When a trade professional purchases an item, the relevant discount is applied to the selling price set by the artist. The Oblist commission is then calculated on the discounted price.
Example:
Listed Price: €1,000
Discount (e.g., 15% for furniture): €150
Discounted Price: €850
The Oblist Commission (for example 35%): €297.50
Final Earnings for Seller: €552.50
Shipping Fees
Shipping fees are handled separately. They are quoted after the order and are not included in the discount or commission calculations.
Maintaining Margins
While the discount slightly reduces the seller’s margin, it increases appeal to trade professionals, potentially driving higher sales volumes and fostering long-term professional relationships.
Optional Participation
Sellers can choose whether to participate in the trade discount program. However, offering discounts can enhance visibility and sales opportunities within The Oblist’s professional network.
