One plan, and the maths is simple
8% of what you sell. Nothing monthly, nothing up front, and nothing at all until a maker buys something.
One plan
8%
of what you sell — patterns and memberships alike. Nothing monthly, nothing to set up, nothing to cancel.
- Your shop at yourname.loopstore.shop
- Unlimited patterns and memberships
- Watermarked downloads
- Discount codes and pattern testers
- Your customer list, yours to export
- No fee until you sell something
Stripe’s processing fee is separate and goes to Stripe, not to us — you are the merchant, so it is charged to your account the same way it would be anywhere else.
What 8% looks like
The fee comes off each sale as it happens, on a £4 pattern and on a £4 membership payment alike. A month with no sales costs you nothing.
| Sales in a month | Our 8% | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| £50 | £4.00 | £46.00 |
| £100 | £8.00 | £92.00 |
| £250 | £20.00 | £230.00 |
| £500 | £40.00 | £460.00 |
| £1,000 | £80.00 | £920.00 |
Stripe’s processing fee comes off the right-hand column as well, and goes to Stripe rather than to us.

- 1.Loopstore: The whole of our cut, on pattern sales and membership payments alike. Stripe’s processing fee is charged on top and goes to Stripe, as it would wherever you sold.
- 2.Etsy: The 6.5% transaction fee is the start of it. A listing fee is charged per item and again when it sells or renews, payment processing is charged on each order, and Offsite Ads take a further share of any sale they are credited with — which sellers above a sales threshold cannot opt out of. A cheap digital pattern sits at the top of that range, because the flat parts are a larger share of a small sale.
- 3.Ribblr: Published as a commission per sale rather than a single rate; check their current terms.
- 4.Payhip: Their paid plans lower the percentage. Payment processing is charged on top.
Competitor figures are from their public pricing pages and change often, and what a sale actually costs depends on its price and how the buyer found it. Check the current terms before you decide.
