Set up Fee: A once off set-up fee is charged to suppliers when they are first set up on Marketboomer.  This fee will be specified in the 'Supplier Nomination Letter' that your customer sent to you. 

Option one – Supplier Merchant Fee: 2.5% of the value of the combined Purchase Orders from customers processed through Marketboomer less Tax (i.e. VAT).

Marketboomer charges Supplier Usage Fees for any order sent to Supplier from any Customer approved by Supplier from any marketplace employing the 2.5% Merchant Fee model.

The Merchant Fee covers the cost of accessing ActiveSupplier and the cost of transmitting Purchase Orders to Suppliers electronically.

Option two – Shared Merchant Fee: Where the Purchaser specifies what proportion of the above Merchant Fee will be charged to Supplier.  Purchasers who apply a Shared Merchant Fee will specify in writing what the Suppliers fee is to the supplier.

The Merchant Fee charge is detailed in Marketboomer's Supplier Agreement

No. You will still maintain a direct commercial relationship with your Customer. Marketboomer simply helps improve their internal processes in relation to placing orders with you. Marketboomer automates many of the tasks that they would previously have had to do manually (like entering your product codes, standing at a fax machine etc). As such, it is no more than a business tool, just like a fax machine.

Suppliers can receive Purchase Orders in whatever format they prefer (Fax, E-mail, Self Collect or via one of a range of electronic formats).

Yes. Marketboomer can support you by loading your catalogue on their systems and sending Purchase Orders to you by Fax. You should contact Marketboomer soon as possible to get your catalogue online.

Purchasers nominate the preferred suppliers they wish to trade with through their Marketboomer application ActivePurchaser. The implementation of Marketboomer within the purchasers business will ensure that their businesses become more compliant to deals negotiated with preferred suppliers and that they conduct their purchasing online via Marketboomer.

Yes. Your pricing and commercial information is completely private, you can’t see any pricing or turnover information from other suppliers and they can’t see yours. Only those businesses that you choose to provide pricing information to can see your catalogue. You can manage different pricing structures for different customers.
