Vendor Agreement

This Vendor Agreement (“Agreement”) explains how revenue, shipping, discounts, and promotions work when you sell through Eden (“Eden,” “we,” “us,” or the “Platform”).

By listing or selling products on Eden, you agree to this Agreement.

1. Revenue Splits

1.1 - How Revenue Is Shared
Eden is a multi-vendor marketplace. When a product sells through Eden Checkout, merchandise revenue is shared between Eden and the Vendor (“you”). Shipping collected for your shop is paid to you separately and is not subject to Eden’s merchandise commission.

All revenue splits are calculated before payout and after any refunds, cancellations, or chargebacks. Your marketplace payout equals your merchandise share plus shipping collected for your shop. Sales tax collected on marketplace orders is not included in your payout (see Section 1.6).
1.2 - Payment Processing Fees
Marketplace customer payments are processed through Eden Checkout using Stripe (and related processors Eden may use). Designers may still connect their own Shopify store via Eden’s apps for catalog sync and order operations; that does not mean buyers check out on Shopify.
- Payment processors charge fees under their own terms (e.g. Stripe)
- Processor fees and platform-collected sales tax are handled by Eden before vendor payouts
- Eden does not control or set third-party payment processor fee schedules
- Marketplace payouts use the same Stripe Connect account as Custom Orders. You may sell before Connect is complete; transfers begin once a destination account is ready
1.3 - Merchandise Split
Merchandise splits are calculated on net merchandise (item totals after any applicable discount code). Your share = net × vendor %. Eden’s commission = net − your share.

Baseline vendor percentages by brand stage:
- Infant brands (newer shops): Vendor 95% / Eden 5%, until graduated to standard
- Standard brands: Vendor 85% / Eden 15%
Example (standard, no code): $100 item → you $85, Eden $15.
1.4 - Shipping Collected & Platform Subsidy
There is no Eden commission on shipping. Whatever shipping is collected for your shop is paid out to you in full as part of your marketplace payout.

Customers pay one shipping total for the cart (not once per brand). Customer-paid shipping is even-split across shops for payout accounting. Customer benefits on standard rates include:
- Pay once for shipping per cart
- Free shipping for about 2 hours after an order (continuation window)
- Free shipping on orders over $200
- Customer credit on eligible standard labels is up to $10 per label (under $200, the highest standard label in a multi-shop cart is paid in full and other standards get up to $10 off; single-brand carts pay full standard)
Eden helps cover the gap so those customer benefits do not leave shops covering the full label alone:
- After the customer’s share is even-split, Eden may add a platform shipping subsidy on standard labels so your collected shipping reaches at least 50% of that shop’s standard label
- Shops never cover more than 50% of a standard label; Eden may run negative platform profit on an order to keep that floor
- Expedited options: the customer pays full price; no Eden shipping subsidy
Example: your standard label is $10 and your customer share after split is $3.33 → Eden subsidizes $1.67 → you collect $5 (50% of the label).
1.5 - Flexibility & Updates
As Eden grows, we may adjust our pricing structures, shipping credits, or subsidy rules. If we make any changes that affect vendor earnings, we'll notify you ahead of time.
1.6 - Sales Tax (Eden Marketplace)
On orders placed through Eden Checkout, Eden calculates, collects, and remits applicable sales/use tax where Eden is registered to collect (for example, as a marketplace facilitator). Tax is determined using the customer’s delivery address and Eden’s tax registrations.
- Collected sales tax is retained by Eden and is not part of the vendor revenue split or Stripe Connect payout
- Vendors are not responsible for remitting sales tax to governments for those Eden-facilitated marketplace sales
- Vendors remain responsible for their own income taxes and for taxes on sales made outside Eden
This is not tax advice. Eden’s remittance obligations and filing frequency are set by each tax authority after registration. Custom-order invoices use a separate checkout path; tax treatment for customs may differ.

2. Discounts & Promotions

2.1 - Shop Discount Codes
You may create percent-off codes for your shop (all of your products or specific collections you own). These codes apply only to your merchandise in a multi-brand cart and are not the same as Custom Orders invoice codes.

Store-created codes are covered by your store: the markdown comes out of your merchandise total, and Eden still takes its normal commission on the discounted net (15% standard / 5% infant).
2.2 - Global / Eden Discount Codes
Eden may create platform-wide (global) discount codes that may apply across brands. Those discounts cut into Eden’s commission, not into your payout the way a store-created code does.

Global codes are used to drive traffic and sales and are not framed as an individual vendor “discounting” unless separately agreed.
2.3 - Maximum Percent Off
Customer-facing percent off for a shop is capped at Eden’s commission rate on that shop (15% for standard brands; 5% for infant brands). A code cannot discount more than Eden’s share allows on that store.
2.4 - Special Promotions
Eden may propose special promotions outside the baseline rules above:
- Participation beyond standard global-code mechanics may require vendor approval
- Vendor participation is optional unless you have otherwise agreed in writing
- Approval may be given via written confirmation (email, SMS, etc.)
