Take Rate

The percentage a platform or marketplace keeps from a transaction it facilitates.

Also known as: Take rate

Take rate is the share of a transaction's value that a platform keeps as its fee — for a marketplace processing €100 in GMV at a 10% take rate, the platform earns €10.

It is the core monetization lever for transactional platforms. In creator commerce, take rate sits alongside revenue share: one describes the platform's cut, the other the creator's.
