Fees & Incentives

Our design partners will be entitled to a commission fee for each project along with additional incentives and bonuses which will be regularly updated in order to encourage the design community to provide their best services to all Design Cafe clients – and to help them evolve into better design professionals along the journey.
Note that these “Fees and Incentives” will be refreshed and updated as deemed fit by Design Cafe. All design partners will be duly informed of the latest version to ensure designers are sufficiently informed at all times. This document “Fees & Incentives” is Annexure-A of Design Partner Service Agreement, which is signed by every design partner as acceptance of the terms and conditions of the partnership with Design Partner under their “Design Partner Program”
