Beacons Fee Calculator for real take-home, not vanity GMV

Compare Free / Creator / Creator Plus / Creator Max and see what actually survives after Beacons platform fees, Stripe processing, refunds, and your own per-order delivery or product cost. If you are deciding whether to stay on a 9% plan or upgrade to 0%, this page gives you a fast answer.

Free + Creator = 9% platform fee Creator Plus + Max = 0% Stripe = 2.9% + $0.30 Break-even + target-net solver
This v1 intentionally models Beacons + Stripe only. It excludes PayPal, annual billing discounts, and invoice-specific exceptions, because those can change the fee stack in ways that deserve a separate calculator instead of a rushed assumption.

Assumptions locked for this slice

  • Beacons Free and Creator plans use a 9% transaction fee.
  • Creator Plus and Creator Max are modeled with a 0% platform transaction fee.
  • Stripe is modeled at 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.
  • Average variable cost per order is your own cost layer: delivery, product cost, bonus fulfillment, or similar.
  • Refunds reduce top-line revenue before take-home is reported.
