Fairness shouldn't be this complicated. Just cook well.
We're just giving you back the fairness that should have always been yours.
We believe partnership should feel human—not like cold calculation. You shouldn't have to buy visibility. You shouldn't have to keep discounting yourself just to survive. Because only when cooks are doing well can a platform last. This is what we mean by fair.
Only when you grow, do we grow together.
Most platforms take more and more from every sale you make.
HenMade doesn't stand across from you calculating commissions—we're in the same boat. You make the food. You keep your customers. The rest of the road, we walk with you. We don't grow by making you sell more. We grow by helping you last longer—and go further.
Fairness has clear rules here
Fair doesn't mean free—it means every charge is clearly explained.
Linked Customers = 0% Platform Fee
Every cook gets their own invite link. When customers download the app through your link, they're permanently linked to you.
One customer can only link to one cook. For every order they place, you pay zero referral fees. The earlier you join, the more loyal customers you can connect with.
Cross-Store Orders = Fixed Referral Fee
Only when ""non-linked customers"" order from you through the platform,
do we charge a referral fee:
- Orders under $80:$10
- Orders $80 and above:$15
That's it. No other fees. No percentage cuts. No hidden charges.
Upgrades & add-on services are completely separate—your choice, and they don't affect any free features.
Payment Processing = Charged by Third Party
All payments go through the payment platform you choose. Processing fees are charged by them—not by HenMade.
We don't take a cut from payments. Not a single cent.
Order Minimum = You Decide
Set a minimum order amount to protect your costs and margins. For orders below minimum, you can let customers share a portion of the referral fee. This is like "free shipping if you spend $X" on other shopping sites. Clear rules, stated upfront—fair and transparent for everyone.
At HenMade, you don't pay to be seen. You just cook well.
Verification Badge + Live Rate + Repeat Orders + Reviews + Preferences + Location = Who Sees You
There's no "buy your way to the top" here. How you're seen comes from how you actually run your kitchen. You set your own prices. You decide whether to run a sale. HenMade won't discount you without asking. We won't pressure you to give in for traffic. We don't chase clicks—we build trust. Real growth doesn't need tricks.
