Founding Seller Program
Selective early access for a small group of founding sellers.
Apply by May 31 to join the seller waitlist for consideration. If approved and you complete your first sale by June 15, you unlock:
8% seller fee (2026) → 9% seller fee (2027) → 10% seller fee (2028)
The Founding Seller Program is selective early access. Applying joins the seller waitlist for review. Approval is not guaranteed.
What It Is
The Founding Seller Program lowers the normal 10% seller fee for approved sellers who get through review early and reach their first completed sale before the deadline. Applying joins the seller waitlist for review, not open enrollment. Payment processing remains separate. Founding sellers lock a lower seller fee schedule for their early years on the platform.

FAQ
Q: What counts as my first sale?
A: A completed purchase on Pigmint (successful payment).
Q: Do I need to do anything besides apply?
A: Yes. Applying joins the waitlist only. If approved, you still need to connect Stripe and complete your first sale by June 15 to lock in the founding seller fee.
Q: Does applying guarantee acceptance?
A: No. We're reviewing a select group of early sellers, and approval is not guaranteed.
Q: Does the 8% founding seller fee include payment processing?
A: No. The 8% founding rate applies to the seller fee only. Payment processing is separate.
