Getly
Most marketplaces that offer a better rate for exclusivity make you sign for it. Getly Exclusive works differently: you mark a product as sold only here, your commission on it drops from 20% to 15%, and you can stop marking it whenever you like.
On 14 September 2026, 118 of 5,672 live listings carry the marking. The other 5,554 do not, and nothing about how they are treated differs.
Why it is a declaration and not a contract
Because the alternative is worse for everyone.
A contractual exclusive requires enforcement, and enforcement of "is this file for sale anywhere else on the internet" is either impossible or invasive. A platform that promises to police it is promising something it cannot deliver, and a seller who signs it is accepting a restriction with an unclear boundary.
A declaration is honest about what it is. You are telling buyers something, and the discount is what we pay for being told. If it stops being true, you withdraw it. The withdrawal is recorded separately from never having declared it, so the state of a listing is always legible.
Where it sits in the rate ladder
Getly applies whichever commission is lowest for you, automatically. The candidates:
- 20% — the default.
- 17% / 15% / 12% — by prior-month volume above $500, $2,000 and $10,000.
- 15% — Exclusive.
- 10% — a sale that arrives through your own link.
Two consequences follow. A seller already on the 12% volume tier gains nothing from marking a product exclusive, and is not charged more for it — the better rate wins. And a sale you bring yourself is charged at 10% whether or not the product is exclusive, because your own traffic is worth more to us than exclusivity is.
That ordering is deliberate. Exclusivity is worth something. Bringing the buyer is worth more.
What the marking is actually for
Not the five points. Five points on a $7 product is 35 cents, and nobody restructures a business for 35 cents.
It is for the buyer. "Available only here" is a real fact about a product, and it is one of the few facts a marketplace listing can carry that a competitor's listing cannot copy. It answers a question buyers ask silently — is this the same pack I saw cheaper somewhere else — with a no.
The discount exists to make declaring it worth the two seconds, not to be the reason.
Who should use it
Sellers with one home. If this is where your catalogue lives and you have no intention of listing the same files elsewhere, you are already exclusive in practice and the marking costs nothing.
Sellers testing a new product. A first release sold in one place is easier to read: you learn what the listing does without a second variable.
Not sellers who syndicate. If the same file is on three marketplaces, do not mark it. The rate is not worth a claim that is not true, and the claim is the part buyers are relying on.
The number to watch
118 out of 5,672 is 2%. That is a feature being used narrowly by people it fits, which is the right shape for something that asks a seller to give up an option. A number much higher would suggest people were marking it for the discount without meaning it — and the moment that happens, the phrase stops being worth anything to the buyer, which is the only thing it was for.
