Mimelis is changing: new plans, lower fees, and a Base plan that stays free
In short: Mimelis now offers four plans. The Base plan stays free and gains new features. Paid plans exist alongside it, with significantly lower transaction fees and tools each business picks according to its needs. Here is what changes, and why.
Mimelis lets Swiss producers, artisans and makers sell directly, with no middleman: to their neighbours through on-site collection, and across the whole of Switzerland through delivery. That idea is not moving.
Today, we are adding plans. The paid plans cut transaction fees significantly and bring new tools. The Base plan stays free: we are taking nothing away from anyone.
The Base plan stays free
Selling on Mimelis stays free. The Base plan includes everything it included yesterday: your complete online point of sale, collection, delivery, and customers discovering you. There are no fixed fees. The only fees are taken on a sale.
The Base plan is growing too. Automatic reminders flag the orders you have to ship. Local advertising becomes available as an option, straight from your seller account. And your point of sale is protected against long periods of inactivity: if you go a long time without logging in, selling is paused, so that your customers never order on information that is no longer up to date. One click reactivates everything. And there is more: the plan comparison sets out the rest.
If you already sell on Mimelis, there is nothing for you to do. Your point of sale carries on, with these additions on top.
What Mimelis does for you every day
Your point of sale is seen. Every day, new people discover you: locals looking for produce near them, buyers at the other end of Switzerland having it delivered, people asking a search engine or an AI assistant and finding you without knowing you yet. Your point of sale and your products are translated automatically into French, German, Italian and English: you address the whole country without translating anything.
That is advertising for your business. Your name travels, your products become known. Every seller benefits from it, whatever their plan.
Why there are paid plans
The businesses selling on Mimelis are not alike. A producer working alone does not have the same needs as a team spread over several points of sale. With several plans, each business pays for the functions it needs, and not for the others.
The Base plan covers direct selling, free of charge. The paid plans add tools to build a brand image, to work as a team, or to be closely supported. And transaction fees drop significantly from one plan to the next.
Four plans, a free choice
Base: everything to sell your products and be found online
Free. A complete online point of sale, with no website and no installation. Collection by time slot, self-service and delivery. Customers who find you on Mimelis, on search engines and through AI assistants.
Pro: assert your presence and your brand image online
Everything in the Base plan, with reduced transaction fees and a complete visual identity: your logo, videos, more images. The Verified Producer badge. One-off sales, for a set period. Advanced statistics, to know where your visitors come from. Personalised support when going live, and a presence kept for longer while you are away.
Business: work as a team and grow online sales
Everything in the Pro plan, with transaction fees lower still, employee accounts included and notifications sent to several people. You add permanent points of sale, run several one-off sales in parallel, and track your sales over time.
Advanced: for well-established businesses
Everything in the Business plan, with the lowest fees (transaction and payment), more employee accounts, a dedicated contact and priority assistance.
You choose your plan freely, with no request and no approval. The plan comparison sets out the content, the fees and the prices of each plan.
New tools
SMS alerts, available as an option from the Pro plan upwards, tell you on your phone when an order comes in. Employee accounts hand logistics to your team (orders, stock, collection slots), while your finances stay visible to you alone. Local advertising, open to every plan, puts you forward in your town, your canton or your product categories. Your adverts are built from the images of your point of sale: you have nothing to prepare.
What does not change
Your products, your photos and your settings stay in place. Your sales are still paid into your bank account. And Mimelis remains what it is: a Swiss marketplace, for direct selling, with no middleman.
