A marketplace that shares its profits with you
Most marketplaces keep every dollar of fees. Seedsy is different: we're a cooperative. Members who do business here earn patronage points, and every quarter a fixed share of revenue comes back to the people who built the marketplace — you.
Earn points for the business you bring
Every $1 you spend on seeds earns 1 point. Every $1 you pay in platform fees or membership earns 2 points — because revenue contributors are the co-op's backbone. Founding members earn double points for their first year.
The pool grows with the marketplace
Each quarter, 20% of Seedsy's net revenue (after payment processing costs) is committed to the patronage pool. You can watch it grow live on the homepage.
Your share is proportional and transparent
Your dividend = pool × (your points ÷ all points). Every point is backed by a ledger entry you can inspect on your co-op dashboard. No black boxes.
Paid out quarterly
Dividends of $25 or more are paid via Stripe payout. Smaller amounts roll over to the next quarter — they're never lost.
Worked example
$1,200 in fees + memberships, minus ~3.2% processing → $1,162 net
20% of $1,162 = $232 patronage pool
You earned 1,000 of 11,600 total points → $20 dividend, rolls over and compounds next quarter
