How does Fiverr make money?

Fiverr makes money through transaction-based fees. When someone purchases on Fiverr, Fiverr receive a portion of that purchase. This works in two different ways. For buyers purchasing a service, they pay the service price, plus Fiverr has a 5% transaction fee with a minimum fee of $2 per transaction.

After a transaction, Fiverr releases 80% of the payment to the seller and then keeps the remaining 20%. So, for each transaction, Fiverr makes 20% from the seller and 5% or $2 from the buyer. Along with transaction-based fees, Fiverr has advertisements on its websites to help generate additional revenue.
