How Payments Are Calculated

Overview

Storetasker rewards Experts who consistently work on the platform with reduced fees over time. All Experts start at Level 1 and can progress through tiers. At the top tier, Storetasker’s fee is reduced to 10%.

You can view your current tier and fee information directly in your Expert Profile.


How Fees Work

  1. Platform Fee

    • All Experts begin at Level 1.

    • As you complete more work on the platform, you may progress to higher tiers with lower fees.

    • At the top tier, the fee is reduced to 10%.

  2. Payment Processing Fee

    • Whether clients pay via credit card or PayPal, a payment processor (Stripe or PayPal) charges a processing fee.

    • This fee averages 4% and goes directly to the payment processor.


Example Calculation

Let’s say a client accepts a $100 quote and you are on the 20% tier:

  1. Processing fee of 4% is deducted → $96 remains.

  2. Storetasker’s 20% fee is applied to the $96.

  3. You receive 80% of $96, which equals $76.80.


How to See Your Earnings in Advance

When you draft a quote, the system automatically shows your net earnings in green text beneath the total cost. This allows you to know exactly how much you will earn before sending the quote.
