How to Check Your Selling Fees on Cohart
Overview
Every sale on Cohart can carry up to three fees: Stripe’s card processing fee, the Cohart processing fee, and — for sales that come through CocoAI Curator or Discover — the AI curator & discover commission. The pricing page lists all three for every plan, so you can see what a sale costs on your plan and what a higher plan would save you.
- Who it’s for — artists and galleries selling artwork on Cohart.
- Stripe card & payment processing fee — from 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card payment, on every plan. Stripe collects this fee for processing the payment; Cohart does not take any portion of it.
- Cohart processing fee — depends on your plan: Basic 5%, Pro 0.5%, Growth 0%, Premier 0%. The Basic plan is the Free plan.
- AI curator & discover commission fee — 20% on every plan, charged on sales that come to you through CocoAI Curator or Discover.
- What you end up with — your plan’s fees for a sale, compared with every other plan.
Before you start
- A signed-in artist or gallery account. Manage Your Plan shows which plan you are on; the pricing page itself is public.
- Stripe’s fee is Stripe’s, not Cohart’s. It is the same on every Cohart plan, and upgrading does not change it. Some payments cost more with Stripe — for example, international cards or currency conversion — see Stripe pricing .
Plan comparison (monthly price · Cohart processing fee): Basic (Free) $0 · 5% — Pro $19/month · 0.5% — Growth $49/month · 0% — Premier $99/month · 0%. Every plan also pays Stripe’s fee (from 2.9% + 30¢) and the 20% AI curator & discover commission on sales that come through CocoAI Curator or Discover. Yearly billing saves up to 21%.

Tips
- Worked example. A $1,000 artwork sold with a domestic card through your own storefront costs $29.30 in Stripe fees (2.9% + 30¢) on every plan, plus a Cohart processing fee of $50 on Basic, $5 on Pro, and $0 on Growth or Premier.
- Upgrading lowers only the Cohart processing fee. Stripe’s fee and the 20% AI curator & discover commission are the same on every plan.
- Break-even example. Above about $423 in monthly sales, Pro ($19/month + 0.5%) costs less than Basic’s 5% Cohart processing fee.
- Optional add-ons are separate. CocoAI Curator Boost ($1 per artwork per month) and Marketplace visibility listings ($0.05 per artwork per month) are listed on the pricing page.
Troubleshooting
- A payout is lower than the sale price minus the Cohart fee → Stripe’s processing fee is also deducted, and it can be higher than 2.9% + 30¢ for international cards or currency conversion → check Stripe pricing , or contact support@cohart.com about a specific payout.
- A sale was charged the 20% commission → the buyer came to the artwork through CocoAI Curator or Discover → this commission applies on every plan; contact support@cohart.com if you believe the sale came from your own storefront.
- You don’t see Manage Plan → you may be signed in to a collector account → sign in with your artist or gallery account.
