Lower Fees for Marketplace
At last month’s Windows 11 reveal, the company said it was reducing the revenue-sharing fees developers pay to sell their Windows apps via the online Microsoft Store. Now Microsoft is also slashing the fees associated with its commercial marketplace. Effective immediately, immediately the fees are down from 20% to 3%.
“This reduced transaction fee demonstrates our commitment to the success of partners creating value on our platform — and helps partners keep more of their margin to invest in their growth,” according to a post by Charlotte Yarkoni, COO of Microsoft Cloud + AI.
