Does BISTRO BUDDY take a commission?

The recommended direct-charge model has no BISTRO BUDDY application fee on creator-owned sales. Processor fees, taxes, refunds, chargebacks and other disclosed costs may still apply.

Pricing can be creator-proposed, subject to platform review, market fit, legal requirements, promotional rules and the current marketplace agreement.

Who owns the product?

The creator generally retains ownership of creator-owned material and grants the platform the license needed to host, display, promote and fulfill the offer. Exact rights follow written terms.

Can I sell photography?

Potentially, but model, property, music, trademark, event, venue and commercial-use rights must support the intended license.

Can I offer services instead of downloads?

Potentially. Service scope, scheduling, revisions, cancellation, location, travel, safety, insurance and fulfillment expectations must be clear.

Is every submission accepted?

No. BISTRO BUDDY may reject or request changes for relevance, quality, rights, safety, buyer clarity, delivery, pricing, support or capacity reasons.

Is income guaranteed?

No. Listing approval does not guarantee traffic, sales, profit, ranking or promotion.
