Registration is free of charge. You only pay a sales-based commission on your customers' order sales - with no fixed costs, no monthly flat rates and no minimum commission. New suppliers start with a commission rate of 4 %. As turnover increases, this is reduced accordingly.
The commission rate is calculated at the end of each year on the basis of an extrapolation of your turnover in the previous year. You can find the turnover scale in our remuneration agreement.
