▹ What are the fees for Store Managers on MyMiniFactory?
1. MyMiniFactory charges an 8% commission platform fee to Digital Creators on all revenue generated plus payment processing fees as per below:
a) Standard rate: 2.9% + $0.30 per successful payment over $3
b) Micropayment rate: 5% + $0.10 per successful payment $3 or less
*Please note: for all payments from customers located outside the USA there is an additional 1% surcharge
Payment processing fees are calculated on the overall successful payment amount transacted with MyMiniFactory.
If the overall successful payment amount is in excess of $3, Creators are charged the Standard rate (non-micropayment) payment processing fees on their object(s) sold irrespective if their
proportion (object(s) within the total transaction payment amount) of the overall successful payment is more or less than $3.

▹ How does MyMiniFactory collect VAT/Sales Tax?
1. MyMiniFactory manages all VAT/Sales Tax on behalf of the Creator. We collect and remit the applicable VAT/Sales Tax on your behalf to the relevant tax authorities. We are doing this to make matters as easy as possible for the Creators on MyMiniFactory.
2. Your object for sale will advertise the price without VAT/Sales Tax and then if a customer is from an applicable country or region at the checkout stage, the relevant VAT/Sales Tax due will be added to the object price. For example, a Creator inputs the object price without VAT/Sales Tax at $10. A customer is from the UK and a 20% VAT rate is applicable. The price the customer sees and pays at the checkout stage will be $12.
3. The MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee is applicable on the object price without VAT/Sales Tax included.
4. Payment processing fees are applicable on the gross object price paid with VAT/Sales Tax included.
5. If you are resident in the UK and registered for VAT, we ask that you please provide us with your valid VAT number and contact your Designer Relations Manager directly to provide you with further information.
▹ Does MyMiniFactory charge and remit VAT/Sales Tax in my name or MyMiniFactory’s name?
MyMiniFactory charges and remits VAT/Sales Tax in MyMiniFactory’s name.
▹ Detailed example of how Earnings and Sales Tax / VAT will be calculated on MyMiniFactory?
A) Object price = $10 (without VAT)
B) Applicable sales tax / VAT of 20% = $2 (total price paid is $10 + $2 = $12)
C) Payment processing fees = $0.65 (calculated on the gross $12 amount (including sales tax / VAT), fees are 2.9% + $0.30)
D) MyMiniFactory 8% commission platform fee = $0.80 (calculated on the $10 object price (excluding sales tax / VAT))
Creator net payout earnings: $8.55 (= A - C - D) (= $10 - $0.65 - $0.80)
MyMiniFactory collects the sales tax / VAT that the customer originally paid ($2.00 in this example) and sends it to the relevant authority. The figures used in this example are rounded to 2 decimal places.
