Zero Transaction Fees. No Hidden Fees. Open Collaboration.

Arcessio charges no transaction fees and no referral fees on orders. Not to buyers, not to suppliers. Arcessio maintains full transparency and a collaborative approach with all stakeholders when orders are placed.
The price a supplier quotes is the price the buyer pays. The supplier keeps all of it. Payment processing and shipping are passed through at cost. Both are necessary to fulfill the order, and neither goes to Arcessio. There are no transaction fees, no hidden fees, no markup, and nothing between the customer and the shop making the part. We believe that is how manufacturing should work, and this is why.
What sets Arcessio apart goes beyond zero fees
Many platforms advertise zero fees, that only describes what a platform doesn't charge on the way in. It doesn't say what else is built into the price such as the markup, or whether the number on a quote is the number the customer pays. At Arcessio, it is. There is no fee layer.
Our standard covers the whole picture:
- No hidden fees. What the supplier charges is what the customer pays. The price on the RFQ is the price paid.
- Full transparency. Customers and suppliers can see who they are working with.
- Open collaboration. Engineering, procurement, and the supplier work on the part together, from RFQ through to the finished order.
A toll on the wrong thing
In manufacturing, 5 or 10 percent is significant. It can decide whether a shop wins a job or walks away, and whether a program meets its cost target or misses it.
A platform fee has to come from somewhere. Either the buyer pays more or the supplier earns less, and often both. The best shops quote around it or move the relationship off-platform, and the platform ends up policing its own users instead of helping them.
There is also a deeper problem. A platform that lives on fees gets paid when a transaction happens, not when it's the right one. Its incentive is volume. Ours is getting customers the right part, from the right process, at the right price.
How it works
- No referral fee for suppliers. Every dollar on an order goes to the shop that makes the part.
- No markup for buyers. Buyers pay exactly what the supplier quotes.
- No lock-in. A customer who finds a great shop through Arcessio is free to work with them directly next time.
Posting an RFQ, receiving quotes, and placing orders on Arcessio is free.
For buyers and for suppliers
For buyers: quotes that reflect real cost. With no fee built in, the number buyers see is what it costs to make the part. That makes quotes easier to compare against current suppliers and should-cost targets. It also widens the field. Many strong suppliers avoid fee-based platforms, and they have a reason to quote here, so buyers see more capable shops across additive, CNC, injection molding, and die casting.
For suppliers: new customers, full margin. Suppliers keep 100% of every order. There is no monthly invoice for business we sent them, and no penalty for building a direct relationship with a customer they met here. What suppliers get is demand: engineers and buyers with real parts to make, matched to their machines, materials, and certifications. Buyers can also analyze their parts before they post, so more RFQs arrive with a sensible process and material already chosen. That means less time quoting jobs they were never going to win.
So how does Arcessio make money?
We exist to uncover intelligent savings for everyone who uses Arcessio. We would rather be paid for making customers smarter than for standing between them and their suppliers.
Our business is manufacturing intelligence. Teams subscribe to the Arcessio platform to understand their parts before they ever request a quote:
- How manufacturable a geometry is, and what's driving cost or risk
- Which processes and materials fit, and why, with the reasoning shown
- Where cost crosses over between processes as quantity changes
- How to consolidate assemblies and relax tolerances that don't need to be tight
That analysis is where we think the real savings are: not shaving a fee off a quote, but choosing a better process, a better material, or a better design before the quote is ever written.
Our supplier network is how those decisions turn into parts, and it works best when it is open to everyone at no cost.
The best place to get a part made
We want Arcessio to be the best way to get a part made, measured by one thing: whether the customer got the right part. No fees and no hidden costs remove the reasons not to use it.
