# Keep your cut, *automatically*

Set your take rate once — a percentage, a flat fee, or a rule per seller — and Fynex keeps your commission at settlement and routes the rest. No invoicing your own sellers, no month-end reconciliation of who owes what.

*Marketplace building blocks.*

## Your commission shouldn't be a spreadsheet you chase every month

When the processor pays sellers directly, your fee is something you bill back, reconcile, and occasionally write off. Take rates that vary by seller, category or volume turn into manual math — and every mismatch is revenue you quietly lose.

## How commission runs on Fynex

Define the take rate; collect it on every sale without touching it.

1. **Set your take rate once** — A flat percentage, a fixed fee, tiered by volume, or a different rate per seller or category — your commission model becomes a rule Fynex applies to every transaction.
2. **Keep your cut at the moment of sale** — Your commission is separated from the seller's share as the payment splits, so you're paid your fee automatically — never invoicing your own sellers or waiting on a payout to net out.
3. **See every fee, traceable** — Each commission is logged against its order, so your revenue reconciles to the penny and take-rate changes are auditable.

## The same job, with the leaks closed

Point tools solve part of it. Fynex runs the whole thing on one platform.

| The problem | Other platforms (Direct-to-seller processors) | Fynex |
|---|---|---|
| Collect your commission | Bill sellers back and reconcile who owes what. | Kept automatically at settlement. |
| Vary the take rate | Manual math per seller, category or tier. | Rule-based rates — flat, tiered or per seller. |
| Trust the numbers | Mismatches quietly cost you revenue. | Every fee logged and reconciled to the order. |

## Questions, answered

### What is a marketplace take rate?

Your take rate (or platform commission) is the share of each transaction your marketplace keeps for connecting buyers and sellers — usually a percentage of the sale, sometimes a flat fee or a tiered rate. Fynex collects it automatically at settlement, so it's kept as the payment splits rather than billed back afterwards.

### How does Fynex collect my platform commission?

Your commission is separated from the seller's share at the moment of sale, as the payment splits. You set the rule once — a percentage, a flat fee, tiers by volume, or a rate per seller — and Fynex keeps your cut and routes the rest, with no manual maths and no invoicing your own sellers.

### Can I charge different commission rates to different sellers?

Yes. Set a different take rate per seller, per category, or tiered by volume — each becomes a rule applied automatically to every transaction, and every rate change is logged and auditable.

## The rest of the marketplace money layer

Every building block below runs on the same platform. Start with one, or run the whole stack.

- **Split payments** — Divide one payment across sellers, your fee and partners — by rule, in real time.
- **Escrow & held funds** — Hold a buyer's payment until the work is delivered, then release it to the seller.
- **Delayed capture** — Authorize a card at checkout and capture the payment later, when you're ready.
- **Seller onboarding & KYC** — Verify sellers with built-in KYC and KYB, inside your own signup — without the drop-off.
- **Payout scheduling** — Pay sellers on schedule or by rule — mass, instant or timed, in any currency and rail.
- **Marketplace wallets** — Give each seller a stored balance to hold, top up and withdraw — per currency, one ledger.
- **Balance management** — One ledger for every balance, split, hold and payout — reconciled to the transaction.

- **PCI DSS Level 1** — The highest card-data security standard, on by default.
- **Audit logs** — Every movement traceable and ready for review.
- **Built-in KYC / KYB** — The switch that turns the business on.
