The platform fee
$0 until you pass $5,000 in a month.
Cabins Press only takes a cut once your sales in a given month go past $5,000. Below that, the fee is $0, no matter how many books you sell.
On top of the platform fee, Stripe charges its own processing fee on each card payment, the same way it would on any other platform.
