WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
On-Demand Manufacturing vs Take-Rate
Is on-demand manufacturing a disguise for take rate manufacturing?
Yes, here’s why…
In the context of online marketplaces and e-commerce, a "take rate" refers to the percentage of a transaction's total value that the platform or marketplace retains as a commission or fee for facilitating the transaction.
What it is:
The take rate is essentially the fee a marketplace charges for allowing sellers to list and sell products or services on their platform.
How it's calculated:
To calculate the take rate, you divide the amount of revenue earned from a transaction by the total amount of the transaction, then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
