Belleville Market charges a fair commission on all sales to offset our general operating expenses and supplies. Typically, commissions cover payroll and taxes for our Guest Services Associates, customer credit card fees, and cashwrap supplies such a bags, tissue paper, etc. Commission is deducted from the merchant's sales prior to each payout.
As of October 1, 2025, our current standard commission rate for sales is 12%. Standard commission is valid for merchants who also pay a monthly rental fee for their selling spaces.
Standard Commission Rate Change Schedule 2024-2025:
- Effective October 1, 2024: All merchants assigned a standard commission will be charged a 12% commission rate for all sales.
