The math
A $50 cake, itemized.
Nilfpay · order 0417
Paid up frontIt’s 4% with a 50¢ minimum and no ceiling, so the fee only shows up as 50¢ on small tickets: on a $5 cookie box the buyer pays $5.50, on a $12 loaf $12.50, on this cake $52.00.
If they add a tip, the whole tip is yours too. You choose the suggested percentages — or turn tipping off entirely. Same story if you offer delivery: the flat delivery fee you set is added to the order, and every cent of it is yours.
Side by side
Next to the alternatives.
| You pay | Your buyer pays | Paid before you make it? | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nilfpay | $0 | 4%, 50¢ min | Always |
| Hotplate | $0 | 5% + 55¢ | Yes |
| Venmo + DMs | $0 | $0 | Only if you chase them |
Venmo is free because you are the order form, the reminder system, and the receipt. That’s the job Nilfpay takes.
There is no premium plan. This is the plan. Every seller gets everything. The buyer’s service fee is the whole business — sellers are the reason it exists, not the revenue line.

Fair questions
Asked by everyone, answered plainly.
How do you make money if it’s free for me?
The buyer’s service fee is the business. Sellers are the product’s reason to exist, not its revenue line.
When does my money reach my bank?
Buyers pay when they order, and your earnings settle to the bank account you add in the app. The app always shows what’s pending and what’s been paid out — no spreadsheet required.
What about refunds?
One tap. Cancel-and-refund before pickup, or refund after. The buyer gets their full payment back, including any tip.
Keep the whole $50.
