The proposed program
Know the working terms before you apply.
$0 joining fee. $0 base monthly fee. The proposed direct-channel platform fee is 25% of commissionable product sales. The remaining 75% is the bakery’s product allocation before processing, production, packaging, and other applicable expenses.
Commissionable product sales are product charges after discounts, less refunded or canceled product amounts. Taxes, tips, delivery or pass-through charges, and separate sponsor reimbursements are excluded. Product refunds reverse the original proportional commission.
These are working commercial defaults for operator and counsel review—not a market benchmark, a binding agreement, an earnings estimate, or a guarantee of orders, income, territory, or exclusivity.

Partner questions
Does applying make my kitchen a Cooter Cakes seller?
No. Anyone may submit an application, but approval and selling rights are not automatic. Each production location requires written approval and its own approved operating records.
Is order volume guaranteed?
No. The platform may supply approved creative and acquisition activity, but it makes no traffic, sales, order-volume, or income commitment.
Do I receive an exclusive territory?
No mandatory advertising purchase or guaranteed territory is part of the proposed working draft. Different channels or rates require recorded agreement.
