Collaboration in Practice
Partnership
- Kotona Shop is a fair and reliable partner, and we want to collaborate with brands that share the same values.
- It is important to us that our collaboration is profitable for all parties involved. We operate transparently, and that’s why we have clear guidelines for partnerships. With us, you don’t have to wonder if you made a good deal or not.
- Our team is easily accessible and always ready to assist our merchants whenever needed.
Combining Platforms
- Kotona Shop can be integrated with the most common e-commerce platforms through direct integration.
- This allows product information to flow into Ktona Shop and orders placed through Kotona Shop to be sent directly to the merchant's system.
- We can also implement manual integration solutions.
- In our orders, the customer's payment is divided at the payment stage so that Kotona Shop receives its commission share and the brand receives the remaining amount in their merchant account. No separate billing actions are required.
Costs
- We only charge a 30 % commission on sold products. There are no joining fees, annual fees, or campaign fees for our service.
- Our commission is based on our concept: we are not a typical marketplace but Finland's largest home and living media. In return for the commission, products and brands receive media space and visibility to the right audiences in the right context.
- Kotona Shop covers the transaction fees and commissions of the payment intermediary and e-commerce platform. Our payment intermediary, Paytrail, charges a monthly fee of €4.90 for its merchant services.
Returns
- It is of utmost importance to us that customers make informed purchase decisions and are satisfied with their purchases.
- Returns are very rare in our shop: less than 1 % of all purchases annually.
- In cases of return, we hold the commission against the acquired media coverage and the service we provide. We withhold a maximum of 100 euros per order from one merchant.
