Referral fees

Honest rates, by category.

VORA charges a referral fee per sale, calculated on the item price (before tax and shipping). Most categories sit between 8% and 15% same rate whether you're on Individual or Professional.

8%
Spices, Tea & Coffee Whole spices, blends, loose-leaf tea, beans
10%

How the math actually works.

Your referral fee comes out of the item price the customer sees on VORA not shipping, not tax, not tips. If you sell a $20 jar of preserves in Pantry & Specialty Foods, your fee is $1.60 (8%).

The Professional plan ($29.99/month) doesn't change your referral rate. It pays for itself once you list past 40 SKUs, want a branded storefront, or qualify for sponsored placement.

Minimum referral fee. A small floor of $0.30 per item sold applies on items under $4 so we can cover payment processing. Above $4, you only pay the category percentage.

    FAQ

    Marketplace, answered.

    How is the referral fee different from the merchant commission on for-merchants?
    VORA Merchant is for kitchens, restaurants, butchers, and grocers fulfilling prepared food via VORA's courier network at a flat 12% on delivery. VORA Marketplace is for sellers shipping packaged physical goods (spices, preserves, cookware, crafts). Marketplace charges a per-category referral fee of 8–15% on the item price, with an optional $29.99/month Professional plan for unlimited listings and brand tools.
    Do I have to choose Professional?
    No. Individual is $0/month forever and lets you list up to 40 active SKUs with full Vorafied verification, dashboard access, and weekly payouts. Professional ($29.99/mo) is an optional upgrade for unlimited listings, bulk import, branded storefronts, and sponsored placement eligibility.
    What does the referral fee apply to?
    The referral fee is calculated only on the item price the customer pays not on shipping, not on tax, and not on tips. A $0.30 minimum per item applies to items priced under $4 to cover payment processing.
    Who handles shipping and fulfillment?
    Sellers fulfill orders directly. VORA provides discounted shipping labels through our carrier partners (USPS, UPS, FedEx) printable from the dashboard, plus a managed returns workflow. For local sellers in served metros, optional VORA-courier delivery is available at the same flat courier rate as VORA Merchant.
    When do I get paid?
    Every Tuesday, like every other VORA payout. Sales cleared during the prior 7 days (Monday → Sunday) are deposited via ACH on Tuesday morning. New seller accounts start on a 14-day delayed first payout to allow for return windows.
    What's the Vorafied verification process for sellers?
    Our team reviews your business documents, ingredient lists, supplier chain, halal/organic certifications where applicable, and a sample of your listings. Verification is included on every plan and is re-checked annually. The teal Vorafied badge on your storefront is what customers trust, and it's why we don't let it be self-declared.
