What is the difference between private and store?
You do not need a second account for this.
Private and store are both possible within the same account.
Both can:
- post listings,
- buy,
- bid,
- post content,
- chat,
- leave ratings.
A store additionally gets:
- its own store page,
- banner and logo,
- store categories,
- public provider details,
- visibility in the store overviews,
- from Business, its own address at `dropo.ch/store/name`,
- from Professional, bulk import (coming soon).

From Business upwards your store counts as a Premium store and appears in the corresponding surfaces.
We answer questions about subscriptions and invoices at billing@dropo.ch.
Can I change my subscription?
Yes, at any time under “Subscription”.
A higher tier applies immediately: for the rest of the month you only pay the difference, and what you have already paid for your current tier is credited.
A lower tier applies from the next month; until then you keep your current one, and you can still undo the change.
You can cancel at any time — your subscription runs to the end of the paid month and does not renew after that.
Unused direct sales and boosts expire at the end of each period.
They are not carried over into the next period.
If you cancel, your listings stay online. You only lose the benefits of the plan: photo limit, commission rate, quotas and your own store address.
How does my commission fall without a subscription?
Through your turnover from completed sales in the last 30 days:
| Tier | from turnover | Commission |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 0 | 8 % |
| Silver | 1,000 | 7.75 % |
| Gold | 3,000 | 7.5 % |
| Platinum | 8,000 | 7.25 % |
| Diamond | 20,000 | 7 % |
| Elite | 50,000 | 6.75 % |
| Legend | 150,000 | 6.5 % |
For the commission, whichever of the two routes is cheaper always applies:
turnover tier or subscription.
The commission cap, by contrast, depends solely on the subscription.
What are boosts and what do they cost?
Boosts increase the visibility of your listing.
| Effect | Duration | |
|---|---|---|
| Highlight | Highlight badge | 7 days |
| Promoted | higher placement in search and category, rocket badge | 7 days |
| Featured | preferred in the home page carousels and in search and category, gold star badge | 7 days |
| Premium | top placement in search and category, exclusive slot in the Premium Drops carousel, own story on the home page, email to interested buyers, gold badge | 14 days |
Prices per subscription tier:
| Subscription | Highlight | Promoted | Featured | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | 2.00 | 4.00 | 7.00 | 10.00 |
| Plus | 1.80 | 3.70 | 6.60 | 9.50 |
| Pro | 1.70 | 3.50 | 6.30 | 9.10 |
| Business · Pioneer | 1.50 | 3.20 | 5.95 | 8.60 |
| Professional | 1.40 | 3.00 | 5.60 | 8.20 |
| Corporate | 1.20 | 2.70 | 5.20 | 7.70 |
| Enterprise | 1.10 | 2.50 | 4.90 | 7.30 |
These prices only apply once the allowance included in your subscription is used up.
The allowance is tied to the type.
Anyone with 5× Premium in their package has 5× Premium — not five boosts of any kind.
Buying extra is, however, open to every subscription tier and every boost type.
When a boost expires, the listing is immediately shown normally again:
- no gold border,
- no corresponding badge,
- no preferential placement.
How do I get many items onto dropo at once?
There are two routes.
Import works for individual listings from other platforms.
You can upload screenshots or paste a link.
Dropi builds a complete listing on dropo from that.
Your original listing on the other platform stays untouched.
Bulk import is meant for entire ranges and comes with Professional and above.
It is still in preparation.
How do I get verified?
You submit the request in the settings under “Account”.
For this we record, among other things:
- the legal name,
- the UID,
- the address,
- the contact person.
The check is done by hand.
We verify:
1. whether the company actually exists, 2. whether you are authorised to act for that company.
For the second part we get in touch through an official channel that we establish ourselves.
We do not simply use the phone number given in the application.
In addition we compare the details with the federal commercial register.
The legally required provider details of a commercial account appear publicly, regardless of any additional verification.
How do I become a partner?
Via “Submit a partner offer” at the bottom of the page: you send us a short request, we get back to you and set up your offer with you — as a drop or at a fixed price with a sale.
dropo creates the listing in a store account — or, if you don’t want a store, in an account without a login: you then get every order by email and confirm shipping or pickup via a link. Either way we send you the link to set up payouts via Stripe; the offer appears as soon as that’s done.
The commission per unit sold applies. A boost is only available by prior arrangement with dropo; its price is then deducted from the proceeds of the first unit sold.
What is dropo Scouts?
With dropo Scouts we are looking for people who would like to bring shops, studios and dealers to dropo. For now we are accepting applications.
You can apply on the «dropo Scouts» page at the bottom of the footer. We look at every application and get back to you. Applying is free and is not yet a commitment for either side.
