The 5% commission
What Friym keeps, and who gets to see it.
Friym keeps 5% of the total of every sale. What's left is your seller net.
The maths
| Displayed price | What the buyer pays |
| Friym commission | 5% of the total, rounded down to the whole unit |
| Seller net | The total minus the commission |
On a sale at 15,000 XOF: a commission of 750 XOF, a net of 14,250 XOF.
Amounts travel as whole cents: there are no decimal prices.
Who sees what
| Buyer | Seller | |
|---|---|---|
| Subtotal, total paid | ✅ | ✅ |
| Friym commission | ⛔ never | ✅ on an order's detail |
| Seller net | ⛔ never | ✅ on an order's detail |
When you're buying, there's only one price that concerns you: the one you pay. What Friym keeps from the seller afterwards is between them.
Where the commission appears, and where it vanishes
It's announced twice when you open your shop — on the first screen, then in the terms you accept — and then it isn't visible again until your first sale, where it shows up on the order's detail.
Set your prices with it in mind
Between accepting the terms and making your first sale, nothing reminds you of the commission at the moment you type a price. If you're aiming for a specific amount in your pocket, account for the deduction before you display your price.
To receive 15,000 XOF net, you'd need to display a little over 15,789 XOF — the app doesn't do that calculation for you.
What the commission doesn't cover
It's taken on the sale. Moving your balance to your Mobile Money follows its own rules: see When do I get paid?.
A fixed commission, accepted when you open
"Friym charges a fixed 5% commission on every sale" is one of the four commitments you accept when opening a shop. See Opening your shop.
