On every shift you pay three things:
- Base pay — the agreed hourly rate × hours worked. Goes to the shifter.
- ShiftSee platform fee (your side) — 10% of base pay. Goes to ShiftSee.
- Stripe processing fee — Stripe's standard processing rate, typically 2.9% + $0.30 in the US, varies by region. Goes to Stripe.
The shifter also pays a 10% platform fee on their side (deducted from base pay). So ShiftSee earns 20% total per shift, split equally so both sides see a transparent fee.
Worked example: $10/hr × 10 hours = $100 base
- Business charged: $100 (base) + $10 (10% platform fee) + $3.20 (Stripe ≈ 2.9% + $0.30) = $113.20
- Shifter receives: $100 - $10 (10% platform fee) = $90, then minus a small Stripe payout fee (often $0.50-$2 depending on country/account) = $88-89.50
- ShiftSee earns: $10 + $10 = $20
- Stripe earns: ~$3.70-$5.20 total
