FAQs
Common questions
What is the Product Exchange?
The Product Exchange is covari's marketplace for product-for-content deals. Brands send products to creators in exchange for content — no cash changes hands. It's only available to covari+ members.
When does the 5% fee get charged?
The 5% is deducted automatically when payment releases — meaning after the brand approves a deliverable. If a deal falls through before delivery, neither side pays any transaction fee. covari+ members also get zero fees on product exchanges.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees. On a $1,000 deal: the creator receives $950 (minus Stripe processing), and the brand pays $1,050. The 5% per side is the only transaction fee. Stripe's standard 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee is shown before you confirm.
Who pays the transaction fee?
Both sides pay equally — 5% from the creator and 5% from the brand. It's simple, transparent, and fair.
Is there a minimum deal size?
No minimum. Whether it's a $50 shoutout or a $50,000 campaign, the platform works the same way with the same protections.
Do you offer enterprise pricing?
Yes. For businesses running large-volume campaigns, we offer custom pricing, dedicated account managers, custom integrations, and anything else you need. If you can think of it, we can build it. Contact us to learn more.
