Payment overview
Economics can be tricky, so we're here to help! As a Partner you will collect payment for Brand products just like any other order. This includes shipping and taxes. Canal will charge you weekly or monthly (depending on your plan) for the Brand's commission, Shipping costs, and Catalog Fees. You will be left with your commission and taxes collected on the order. The video below will help walk through Flow of Funds with Catalog
- Brand Commission: This is the agreed upon earnings for each product
- Shipping Cost: The amount to be paid to the Brand to cover shipping costs
- Catalog Fees: These fees vary depending on your pricing model
*All transactions are subject to a payment processing fee of (2.5% + $0.30 per transaction) for credit card or (0.4% transaction fee) for ACH

How am I billed?
Each billing cycle you will see 2 charges associated with your Catalog orders.
- Catalog Fees: This charge is solely for the cost associated with using Catalog. The actual amount will depend on your pricing model.
- Catalog Orders: These charges will include the Brand Commission and Shipping cost to be passed through to the Brand. Catalog will charge the Payment method* you've added to your Catalog profile for these charges.
*Catalog highly recommends adding the same Payment method that you use for Shopify Billing to the Catalog app

Sales Tax
As the Partner you will be the merchant of record and collect all taxes paid on orders. No taxes will be passed to Brands for their products and you may receive requests from your Brands for a Resale Certificate.
