Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained) • **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Bonanza Fee % of Revenue** shows what share of your booth revenue Bonanza keeps as marketplace fees. Bonanza's Final Offer Value (FOV) is around 3.5% on Bonanza-only sales, the lowest headline rate among major US marketplaces. When this gauge reads well above that 3.5% baseline, it usually means you opted into Bonanza's advertising or promotion program, which raises the effective fee. Track it so you always know your true cost of selling on the platform. | | | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | Total Bonanza fees expressed as a percentage of gross booth revenue over the window. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Bonanza, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Fee creep above the \~3.5% FOV baseline quietly erodes margin. Watching the percentage, not just the dollar total, keeps the cost of selling visible as revenue scales. | | **Reading the value** | A figure near 3.5% is the Bonanza-only baseline. Readings meaningfully higher typically reflect advertising or promotion opt-ins. Compare against the prior period to spot drift. | | **Currency** | percent | | **Time window** | `30D vsP` | | **Alert trigger** | `>5%` | | **Sentiment key** | `bon_fee_pct` | | **Roles** | owner, finance | ## Calculation Vortex IQ sums the Bonanza fees applied to your sales over the window and divides by gross revenue for the same period, then expresses the result as a percentage. Because Bonanza's headline FOV sits around 3.5% on Bonanza-only sales, a reading close to that is expected for a booth selling purely through Bonanza. Advertising and promotional placements add cost on top, lifting the effective percentage. See the At a glance summary above for the baseline and the worked example below for a typical reading. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Bonanza Fee % of Revenue** for a typical merchant on Bonanza.* On 14 Mar 26 a booth turned over 4,200 dollars in gross sales and paid 210 dollars in Bonanza fees, putting the gauge at 5.0% versus 3.6% in the prior period. That jump above the \~3.5% FOV baseline tipped past the 5% alert, and the cause was a promotional placement opt-in that lifted the effective rate on featured items. The action was to review whether the extra exposure justified the added fee, then keep the promotion only on high-margin listings. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, here the advertising opt-in, and Ask Viq lets you ask "which listings drove the fee increase last month" in plain English. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | | [`bon_fee_total`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/marketplace-fees-paid) | Economics sibling: Marketplace Fees Paid. | | [`bon_net_revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/net-revenue-after-bonanza-fees) | Economics sibling: Net Revenue (after Bonanza fees). | | [`bon_total_revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/total-revenue) | Revenue sibling: Total Revenue. | | [`bon_payouts_pending`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/pending-payouts) | Economics sibling: Pending Payouts. | | [`bon_payout_age_oldest`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/bonanza/oldest-pending-payout) | Economics sibling: Oldest Pending Payout (days). | ## Reconciling against Bonanza **Where to look in Bonanza's own dashboard:** Open your booth dashboard and check the payments and payout history area, where Bonanza itemises Final Offer Value fees and any advertising or promotion charges per sale. Sum those against revenue for the same dates to confirm the percentage. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | | **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses a 30-day rolling window versus prior period by default; Bonanza dashboards may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Time zone.** Bonanza uses account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. | | **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (booth, channel, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view. | Variable | Match filter settings. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does Bonanza Fee % of Revenue update?** It recalculates on the standard data refresh, typically every 30 to 60 minutes, across the rolling 30-day window versus prior period. Force a manual refresh from the dashboard if you need the latest figure immediately. **Q: Why does my Bonanza dashboard show a different number?** The usual reasons are period-boundary differences (Vortex IQ uses a 30-day rolling window versus Bonanza's calendar months), time-zone alignment, and filter scope (profile-level versus Bonanza's all-booth view). Match these before assuming a real divergence. **Q: Why is my fee percentage above the 3.5% FOV baseline?** The \~3.5% Final Offer Value applies to Bonanza-only sales. Opting into Bonanza's advertising or promotion program adds cost on top, so the effective percentage rises. Review which placements are active if the gauge climbs. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Bonanza Fee % of Revenue* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Bonanza and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
