Wolt commission: published delivery app fees in 2026

Wolt commission percentages are not stated on its merchant pages, so ask for a written rate for your site. Uber Eats UK lists delivery fees of 30 %, or 33 % for Uber One orders; Just Eat does not publish its rate; DoorDash’s US restaurant plans list 15 %, 25 % or 30 %.

Wolt commission and other rates need a market label

Compare the published terms for the relevant market and delivery service. These merchant pricing pages were checked in October 2026. The table records what they disclose; it does not establish a machine-specific agreement.

Pickup means customer collection. A platform courier collecting from your machine for a delivery order belongs in the platform-delivery calculation.

Just Eat’s rates are given in the merchant agreement, not on a public page; do not substitute a figure you read elsewhere.

A commission comes out before you cover the product cost

For illustration, assume a snack priced at €3. Replace this example with the price you actually charge.

Using Uber Eats UK’s published 30 % delivery rate, the calculated commission is €3 × 30% = €0.90. The amount left after that commission is €3 − €0.90 = €2.10.

That remaining amount still has to cover the snack’s purchase cost and the relevant operating costs. Include packaging, site commission, integration charges and extra servicing where they apply.

The calculation isolates the headline commission. For the payout, also account for any VAT charged on that fee and other applicable deductions. Uber’s UK page quotes fees excluding VAT; check how your own agreement treats VAT on commission.

A stocked machine avoids kitchen preparation at collection

Assess the work required for the additional sale. A machine holding packaged products you have already purchased does not need a kitchen to make that order.

Where collection is automated, it also avoids having someone prepare and hand over each purchase. The product is already on site. That changes the work attached to an online order compared with a restaurant preparing food.

The stock still needs to pay for itself. Your next restock has a purchase cost, and the machine still needs cleaning, maintenance and support.

Use the product invoice and route records to calculate what the sale leaves. Earlier payment for the stock does not make the amount remaining after commission your profit.

An office-fridge example needs a full monthly calculation

Assume an office fridge completes 40 online orders in a month, each containing the example €3 snack. Use this as a worked scenario and replace the volume with your own results.

Calculated item sales are 40 × €3 = €120. At a 30 % commission, calculated fees are €120 × 30 % = €36. That leaves €84 after headline commission, before product cost, tax and other charges.

Now subtract the purchase cost of the products sold. Add any extra packaging, service visits, refunds and integration costs.

Check whether these orders add sales from customers beyond the office. If existing buyers switch from buying directly at the fridge, compare what the same purchase previously left you.

The decision depends on the contribution remaining and the work required to earn it.

The written offer must cover more than the percentage

Request delivery commission, customer-collection commission, activation charges and ongoing fees together. Confirm the country, merchant category and location to which the offer applies.

Ask what subtotal the commission uses and how tax, discounts and refunds appear in settlement. Check membership-order rates and optional promotion costs.

Uber’s UK page lists a £650 activation fee excluding VAT. Ask what it covers and whether it changes if your setup needs no tablet or printer.

Keep the written offer beside the published page. Treat any figure that is not on a published page or in your written offer as unknown.

Choose a collection method that fits the machine’s margin

Check compatibility and collection before adding integration costs to the calculation. Confirm live stock, order handling and how the courier receives the products without staff.

Ask your machine supplier about supported connections, or assess a direct integration you can maintain.

PickVend is built to the published APIs and is another practical option to assess. Platform access is opened one by one. Its intended flow sends orders to the machine, syncs stock from the machine’s cloud and uses a one-time collection code. The intended handover needs no staff or tablet. Confirm machine compatibility and platform pricing separately.

What is the standard Wolt commission?

Wolt’s merchant pages say a commission applies but give no percentage; the rate is set in your agreement. Request the delivery and customer-pickup rates for your site.

Does courier collection qualify for the pickup rate?

A courier collecting a platform-delivery order uses the delivery service. Confirm the classification in your offer before calculating the fee.

Is the amount left after commission profit?

No. Subtract product cost and applicable operating costs, then account for tax and other settlement deductions.
