What Max Retail pricing really costs you
Max Retail pricing model works for independent retailers and brands.
Here is the simplest way to think about Max Retail pricing. You only pay when you actually make a sale. There is no cost to get started, no monthly bill that shows up whether you sell or not, and no charge for listing an item. If a piece sits for a while before it finds the right buyer, that waiting costs you nothing extra.
Say you list a sweater you have been carrying since last season, and its wholesale cost was at $100. When it sells, Max Retail pricing takes 15 percent, which is $15, standard shipping is withheld from your payout and ~$78 drops into your bank account as soon as you ship. You did not pay to list it, you were not billed every month it waited, and you spent no time or money to list across the various sales channels or deal with online shoppers. With Max Retail pricing, we win when you win.
It helps to weigh Max Retail pricing against the real cost of doing nothing. Inventory that sits does not hold its price. It gets marked down again and again until it finally moves, often for much less than you paid for it and taking way longer to move than you (or your customers) would like. It is one of the quietest drains on an independent store, which is why Women’s Wear Daily covered how Max Retail helps retailers and brands clear their excess inventory.
That is the whole idea behind Max Retail pricing. Your risk stays low, your cash is not tied up in fees before you have sold a thing, and you keep the large majority of every sale. In truth, the cost of unsold inventory is significantly higher than Max Retail’s 15% fee. When you are deciding whether Max Retail pricing fits your store, the comparison that matters is not fifteen percent against zero. It is fifteen percent against everything an unsold rack taking up space, hangers, and cashflow.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Answers to the things everyone asks.
What does the 15% cover?
- Listing creation including all the heavy lifting such as images, descriptions, and all the attributes needed to successfully sell your products online.
- Access to sales channels without needing individual accounts yourself; one Max Retail account gets you everything.
- End consumer support, both before and after the sale. You never have to talk to the online shoppers directly, and this also includes fraud protection, as we all know how tricky consumers can be.
- Same-day payouts, as soon as the shipping label we provide you is scanned, the money is dropped into your bank account without delay.
- A final sale policy. The merchandise you sell on Max Retail will not be returned to you unless it is damaged or erroneous. We know you never want to see it again after it finally leaves your store.
How is my payout calculated?
You keep 85% of the wholesale cost you list on Max Retail, plus a standard shipping rate per order. That’s significantly more than you’ll recover through any liquidation channel or jobber, and a much faster, easier way to move inventory efficiently.
What if nothing sells?
You pay nothing. Max Retail is 100% performance-based, if we don’t sell it, you don’t owe us a dime. Our goal is always to sell your inventory, and we keep working for you until it moves.
When exactly do I get paid?
You get paid as soon as the shipping label is scanned. Funds are deposited directly into your account through Stripe, no waiting, no net-30 terms, no chasing invoices

Is there a minimum inventory requirement?
- Start with at least $3,000 to $6,000 of wholesale inventory, or a minimum of 30 different styles.
