At Nool Books, we aim to provide a transparent and fair marketplace for buying and selling books. We utilize Stripe Connect for secure and reliable payment processing, ensuring your transactions are handled smoothly. Here's a breakdown of how fees work on our platform.
Seamless Transactions with Stripe Connect
Nool Books partners with Stripe, a leading payment processor, to handle all transactions. When you sell a book, your earnings are processed securely through a connected Stripe account. This ensures that funds are transferred safely from buyer to seller.
Stripe's Standard Processing Fees
As Nool Books uses Stripe Connect, the standard Stripe processing fees are applied directly to the seller's connected Stripe account for each transaction. These fees typically cover the cost of processing credit card payments and other banking services. For detailed and up-to-date information on Stripe's current fees, please visit their official pricing page.
Our Commitment to Low Costs
To support our community and encourage more book exchanges, Nool Books currently applies a platform fee of 15% on each successful transaction. This means sellers receive 85% of their selling price, minus the standard Stripe processing fees. This fee helps us maintain and improve the platform, provide customer support, and ensure a smooth experience for all users.
