What platform fees apply to a license purchase, and how much goes to the artist?
When you purchase a license on Patterned, most of your payment goes directly to the artist.
- Sales tax or VAT is added at checkout and paid by you. This does not reduce what the artist earns.
- Patterned takes a platform fee to keep our platform running! Those fees are:
- Standard artists: 35%
- Pro artists: 25%
- Pro Artists can reduce fees even further as their sales volume grows through our License Rewards Program.
Example breakdown
If a pattern license is listed at $100:
- You pay $100 + any applicable tax
- A standard artist receives $65
- A Pro artist receives $75
✨ The majority of your payment always goes straight to the artist, so each license you purchase directly supports their creative work!
