Purpose

Marketplace fees must be transparent, reportable, and aligned with governance and treasury policy.

Fee Types

Possible fee types include marketplace fee, seller fee, buyer fee, treasury fee, royalty, commission, payment processing fee, DEX swap fee if checkout integration exists, and service management fee if Business runtime defines it.

Revenue Routing

Revenue may route to seller net payout, treasury, operations, rewards if approved, partners or referrals if agreements exist, and reserves if policy defines them.

Fee Record Fields

Fields include fee ID, order ID, listing ID, fee type, rate or formula, asset, amount, destination, governance reference if any, status, and reporting period.

Governance Triggers

Governance review is required for marketplace fee changes, treasury fee changes, locked credit settlement fees, reward or discount subsidies, DEX checkout fee policy, seller or buyer fee policy, partner commissions, and public fee claims.

Risk Considerations

Fees must not be described as guaranteed revenue or token price support. Risks include hidden fees, seller payout confusion, treasury revenue overclaim, credit subsidy cost, and fee contract mismatch.
