The case for a lighter store
A better month should not trigger a bigger platform tax.
Per-order platform fees quietly punish growth, high-ticket products, and seasonal spikes. Merchant Meadows separates software usage from sales value, so a $20 order and a $200 order do not create different platform fees merely because one cart is larger.
Transparent floor
A published store starts at a $5 monthly floor, prorated for active UTC days.
Usage-aligned above it
If allocated infrastructure cost plus progressive service markup exceeds your organization’s combined store floors, that higher amount applies.

Plain answers
Answers before you start.
Is Merchant Meadows completely free?
No. Each published store has a $5 monthly floor, prorated for active UTC days. Your organization pays the higher of its combined store floors or allocated infrastructure cost plus progressive service markup. Applicable tax and third-party fees are separate.
Does Stripe still charge processing fees?
Yes. Stripe is the payment provider and charges its own processing and related fees under your Stripe agreement.
Do you charge more when my product price increases?
No. Merchant Meadows does not calculate its fee as a percentage of the order value.
Are refunds charged a Merchant Meadows percentage?
No percentage is taken by Merchant Meadows. Stripe may have its own refund and processing-fee policies.
