A worked example
On a €60,000 stand the fee is €3,000. On a €200,000 stand it is still capped at €5,000 — not €10,000. The cap keeps large wins worth it.
Roadmap
Escrow is coming
Today, exhibitor and builder settle the build directly while StandMatch records and invoices the commission. Held-funds escrow — payment protection for both sides — is planned for a later phase, alongside the identity verification it requires.
Pricing questions
The fine print, in plain words
When is the commission charged?
Never for bidding. The invoice is issued only once a contract is mutually accepted on-platform — the moment your project starts. It becomes due seven days later, and an in-window cancellation voids it.
Is the 5% really capped?
Yes. The commission is 5% of the won contract value, capped at roughly €5,000 with a small floor near €150. A large stand never means an outsized fee.
Do exhibitors ever pay?
No. Posting briefs, collecting bids, comparing the matrix and awarding are all free for exhibitors. The builder covers the capped commission on the contract they win.
What about escrow and payments?
Today, you and your counterparty settle the build directly — StandMatch records the commission obligation and invoices it. Held-funds escrow is on the roadmap for a later phase.
