What is the Algrano service fee for sellers? How does it work?

It is a percentage charged from Verified Sellers on all successful sales on Algrano.

It is a percentage charged from Verified Sellers on all successful sales on Algrano. It covers the platform's unique matchmaking and consolidation services. These are essential for coffee producers to establish and maintain successful partnerships with roasters.

Implemented in 2022, the fee reflects the increased value the platform has been able to create for its users in eight years and Algrano's commitment to improving services and features according to the needs of our users. 

The fee is only charged on successful sales when the benefits of direct trade materialise for sellers in the form of new orders and relationships. Other services, such as verification and sample distribution, remain free of charge.

How does the fee work?

Each seller has a unique percentage fee, calculated according to the offer price of an offer. In general, new sellers will be charged a single-digit percentage fee. This percentage may vary and is assessed on a case-by-case basis.

The fee is set automatically when you create a new offer and shown under Price Configuration.

You’ll know exactly how much you’ll be charged before setting your final price and can adjust your offer if you wish to do so. See below:
