SELLERS FAQS
Your “Shop Page” is your online store. Shoppers can find your story, products, video, links to your personal website, blog, social sites, email, community page, chat live and so much more.
Don’t you hate how big business shopping sites make you flip from page to page to see what it really cost to sell with them? It seems you need a pair of binoculars just to read the fine print and an Einstein IQ to get it all too sink in. Not with us.
Here’s the scoop: By default our platform is totally free. We encourage you to find out how easy it is to open your shop and list products. When you’re ready, click the Go Live button, choose a plan and we’ll add your shop to our amazing marketplace of American sellers for a full year. You will earn 93% on products you sell. Plus, you’ll get paid a daily share in the sellers revenue sharing plan. (Hint: that’s alot more than any other shopping platform is going to do).
Absolutely none! Pay the $99 sellers registration fee and we take care of the rest. We host, maintain and update the platform. Plus we promote our marketplace on all the social sites, through press releases, blogs and more.
Our payment processor Stripe is an incredible service that requires many resources in order to be the world’s most trusted and secure payment processor. The good news is Stripe offers a nominal processing fee in turn for making it extremely easy to receive payments from your customers and get access to your funds.
The base rate of 2.9% + $.30 per transaction is added to the total at checkout and automatically paid to Stripe.

Like popular billion-dollar shopping sites, Great American Shops generates income through 3 primary revenue streams: product sales, seller registration fees and advertising fees. But unlike them we don’t stick it all in our pockets. Instead we direct a big percentage of all platform sales to the Sellers Revenue Share Plan and pay each seller an equal share every day.
Here’s how it works:
Product Sales: We direct 7% of all products sold in the marketplace to the Sellers Revenue Sharing Plan.
Seller Registration Fees: We pay 70% of the $99 annual fee to sell here to the Sellers Revenue Sharing Plan.
Advertising Fees: We direct 70% of all payments to advertise on our site to the Sellers Revenue Sharing Plan.
Each day we total up the all the revenue in the plan, divide it by the number of sellers on the platform and pay every seller an equal share. Simple as that!
There are no monthly sales quotas, nobody to recruit, no requirements of any kind, nothing. Once you pay the $99 sellers registration you become eligible to open your shop, list products and receive an equal share of all monthly company revenues.
Your community page is your place to tell customers more about yourself, your company, anything you like! Upload images, video, links to your social sites, email, save products and shops you love and more.
The LoveIt! button is our way to give our sellers a way to get free advertising. That’s because when anyone clicks the LoveIt! button on your shop page or your product we send it to live feeds all across our platform.
