The Bol Plaza platform employs a commission model for each transaction, where the commission is a combination of a fixed amount and a variable percentage of the selling price. The exact commission rate is dependent on the product category and the sale price. Bol Plaza offers commission endpoints to assist sellers in accurately determining and calculating the appropriate commissions for their products.
Sellers can use these endpoints to identify the applicable commission for each European Article Number (EAN). This is done by providing the selling price and, optionally, the product condition. The service is available for individual and bulk requests, with the latter allowing up to 100 EANs in a single submission.
VAT Calculations
The commission calculations take into account the price range of the product, as the commission rate varies with different selling prices. In terms of Value Added Tax (VAT), the totalcost commission amount for Dutch sellers includes VAT, while for Belgian sellers, it excludes VAT. This differentiation is in line with cross-border VAT regulations, ensuring compliance with the different tax requirements of each country.For more information, see Cross-border VAT
Reductions
In addition to the basic commission calculation, the Bol Plaza commission endpoints also provide information on any reductions in commission fees applicable to certain EANs. The 'Reductions' element in the response indicates the thresholds for activating these reductions for each EAN. This feature allows sellers to adjust their pricing strategies to potentially qualify for lower commissions. It’s important to note that the 'Reductions' element is always included in the response but will only contain information if the EANs qualify for a commission reduction. If there are no qualifying EANs, the reductions list will be empty.
While the Reductions element will always be returned, it will only contain information if EANs in the list qualify for a commission reduction; otherwise the list will be empty.
