Minimum Charges and Earnings

How do minimums and per-pound pricing work?

Poplin orders are priced using a combination of a per-pound rate and a minimum order amount. These amounts may vary by location, but customers always see the exact pricing before placing their order.

As a Laundry Pro, you earn 75% of the total order cost, including when a minimum applies.

 

Minimums

Every order has a minimum dollar amount, regardless of weight. This means:

• If an order is small, the minimum ensures you still earn a solid baseline

• If an order exceeds the minimum, pricing shifts to a per-pound calculation

 

Per-pound earnings

When an order is priced by weight, your earnings scale with the price per pound.

For example:

• If the price is $1.40 per pound, you earn $1.05 per pound

• If the price is $1.60 per pound, you earn $1.20 per pound

Higher-priced orders = higher earnings per pound.

What this means for you

Customers can send as much or as little laundry as they’d like, but:

• You’re always protected by a minimum earning baseline

• Larger orders give you the opportunity to earn more per pound

• Pricing (and your earnings) are always clearly tied to the order details shown in the app

Over time, you’ll get a feel for how order size, pricing, and your workflow come together to maximize your earnings.
