How much does it cost to sell a workshop on Handsome?

Selling is at 0% commission: Handsome takes no percentage of your earnings. The platform sustains itself with a Booking Guarantee of €0.49 per seat, paid by the customer. The price of the seat sold stays with the artisan, paid directly via Stripe.

How much do the big platforms keep?

Typically around 20% on every booking. On a €60 workshop that means about €12 per seat left to the intermediary. With Handsome, that share stays with you.

Who receives the earnings from a booking?

The earnings go via direct payout to the artisan through Stripe, with no commission from Handsome or CNA. The customer pays a deposit and settles the rest; the small €0.49 Guarantee stays at their expense.

Zero commission on workshops: what really changes for an artisan's margin

0% commission: the short answer

On Handsome, an artisan who sells a workshop pays no commission on their earnings: 0% is the rule. The platform funds itself with a small Booking Guarantee of €0.49 per seat, paid by the customer. The workshop money arrives via direct payout to your account through Stripe.

CNA Rimini promotes Handsome to its artisans precisely for this reason: a marketplace that brings in customers without eroding the margin of those who work with their hands.

0% versus the ~20% of the big platforms

The big experience platforms typically keep around 20% on every booking. Let's do a purely illustrative calculation: a €60 workshop with six participants.

With a platform at ~20%: out of €360 you leave around €72 to the intermediary.
With Handsome at 0%: the €360 stays with you, because Handsome takes no commission. The customer only adds the €0.49 Guarantee per seat.

0% isn't marketing: it's the margin that stays in the workshop.

Accessible premium: it's not a price war

0% commission doesn't mean "it's cheap." Handsome is the marketplace of the best artisans, not the cheapest. Zeroing out the commission is about protecting the value of what you teach. Those who do great work don't need discounts: they need to reach the right people with their margin intact. You can see it among the workshops already online.

The CNA Member badge: trust on your profile

Associated artisans get a "CNA Member" badge on their public profile, shown only after verification. There are no "CNA-branded workshops": the experience and the brand remain those of the artisan and Handsome. The badge lives on your profile and helps the undecided customer choose your experience.
