General Question

Are there any ongoing costs for visibility or sales?2021-11-10T13:37:27+02:00

There are no mandatory, fixed, or continuous costs. We only take a commission from the MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) that comes through us.

What is the Concierge Service2021-11-10T13:25:31+02:00

By ordering the Concierge service, a SaaS company can receive orders and quotes from marketplace visitors and current SaaShop customers via SaaShop’s Sales Desk personnel. Yes, we will work as your external sales team!

Who provides user support to the buyer?2021-11-10T13:42:14+02:00

SaaShop answers buyers’ questions related to the SaaS product, processes them, and, if necessary, forwards them to the seller or seeks a response from the seller.

With the Concierge and API service, SaaShop will also manage additional customer services:

  • general customer service, such as billing and contract matters
  • support for basic deployment
  • support and guidance in case of a problem

Support related to the use of the product and technical problems is provided to the buyer by the seller’s own support service. SaaShop directs these inquiries directly to customer support, or requests responses and delivers them to the buyer.

When are sales credited to the seller?2021-11-10T13:41:17+02:00

Buyers have a seven-day money-back guarantee after each transaction. The sales will be credited to the seller monthly in cases in which there is no cancellation during the seven-day period.

Are there any other costs, like payment provider fees or listing fees that are deducted from the transfer?2019-08-05T10:13:40+03:00

No.

How does the seller receive money from the orders?2021-11-10T13:39:52+02:00

Who makes the contract with the end customer?2021-11-10T13:38:57+02:00

Is SaaShop free for SaaS companies?2021-11-10T13:35:00+02:00

It depends on how you define ‘free.’ We are a business and our goal is to be profitable, but we don’t take money from our basic services or in advance. In other words, if we don’t sell your product, we won’t bill you either.

So, joining the marketplace, improving your visibility, and integrating to the SaaShop Marketplace through the API are completely free. However, if you want, you can buy additional marketing services called SaaShop Plans.

We only take a commission from the sales that come through us.

So, not free, but risk-free.
