Payment Fees Explained


Here is exactly how fees work on Addagio, based on the actual pricing model.


Customer-facing booking fee


Every service booking includes a booking fee charged to the customer on top of the service price. This fee goes to Addagio as revenue.


The booking fee is calculated as:

  • 5% of the service subtotal
  • Minimum: $3 (even if 5% would be less)
  • Maximum: $15 (even if 5% would be more)

  • Examples:

  • $40 service: 5% = $2, but minimum applies, so fee = $3. Customer pays $43.
  • $100 service: 5% = $5. Customer pays $105.
  • $200 service: 5% = $10. Customer pays $210.
  • $500 service: 5% = $25, but cap applies, so fee = $15. Customer pays $515.

  • Vendor commission (Starter plan)


    On the Starter (pay-per-booking) plan, Addagio charges a 5% commission on each booking. This is deducted from the vendor's payout as an application fee on the Stripe PaymentIntent. It is separate from the customer-facing booking fee.


    On the Pro ($29/month) plan, there is 0% commission. You keep 100% of the service price (minus Stripe's processing fee).


    Stripe processing fees


    Stripe charges their standard processing fees on every transaction:

  • 2.9% + $0.30 per successful card charge (US cards)
  • Additional fees for international cards and currency conversion

  • These fees are charged by Stripe directly and are not controlled by Addagio.


    Total cost example (Starter plan)


    Customer books a $100 service:

  • Customer pays: $100 + $5 booking fee = $105 total
  • Stripe PaymentIntent: $105
  • Addagio application fee (5% of $105): $5.25
  • Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 of $105): $3.35
  • Vendor receives: ~$96.40

  • Total cost example (Pro plan)


    Customer books a $100 service:

  • Customer pays: $100 + $5 booking fee = $105 total
  • Stripe PaymentIntent: $105
  • Addagio application fee: $0 (Pro plan = 0% commission)
  • Stripe processing (2.9% + $0.30 of $105): $3.35
  • Vendor receives: ~$101.65

  • Rental bookings


    For rental bookings, the total includes:

  • Nightly rate x number of nights (subtotal)
  • Cleaning fee (set per property)
  • Service fee (5% of subtotal on Starter plan, 0% on Pro)

  • Product purchases


    For product purchases, commission is calculated the same way based on the vendor's subscription plan and commission rate.
