Figures show the transaction fee on total DtC sales at Corksy's entry rate of 1.25%, on top of each platform's monthly fee. Corksy's rate eases at higher revenue tiers, so savings at larger volumes will be smaller; both exclude card-processing fees. Corksy's plans and rates change, so check corksy.io/pricing before relying on these. Correct as of June 2026.
“Għamilna s-switch minn WooCommerce għal soluzzjoni personalizzata msejsa fuq Marzipan. Il-ġestjoni tal-ordnijiet tagħna saret faċilissima u l-flessibilità tal-API tal-abbonamenti ppermettitilna ntejbu l-offerta tagħna tal-adozzjoni ta' dwieli qodma.”
“Marzipan huwa inkredibbilment faċli biex tuża, u estremament flessibbli u konfigurabbli. Jagħmilha ħafna aktar faċli biex tmexxi klabbs tal-inbid b'abbonament rikorrenti minn kwalunkwe sistema oħra li użajt, u jlaħħaq kważi ma' kollox li taffronta.”
