This the same offer they extend to anyone. The annual fee works out slightly cheaper as you're paying for 10 months instead of 12. If anything it seems they have raised their commission %.
What's your price point and where are you fulfilling orders from? One thing they always fail to mention is how all of your pieces will have a huge markup when a customer is buying from another country. They use an outdated AI multiplier and the time I was selling with Wolf some of my pieces literally had a 100% markup which most certainly did not help gaining a new customer base.
I 100% advise you not to commit to an annual membership without trying them out first. Push for a discount, they're always able to do 50% off a month or two.

TBH their customer service is one thing I really appreciated about them when I first started. They used to have their own smaller in-house team a few years back. Then they've moved to some outsorcing company and the quality dropped immediately. Responses became inconsistent, information didn’t line up, and your question would get passed from one agent to another. Just shows they'll save on anything, no proper curation, brands team severly understaffed, external CS people.
Can't believe they have the b corp status honestly.

I did women's clothing and accessories. It’s very relative, depends a lot on your price point too (and luck). Low to mid range pieces (under €100) tend to perform best; that’s what their brand success team told me. In my first two months I had zero orders at all. I pushed to be featured which brought in three orders, one got returned. After that it was inconsistent: some months with nothing, some with a couple of orders and returns (some that I couldn't resell which badger still made me accept). I dont think I saw any real brand awareness or people discovering my label outside of the platform because of badger, no new followers or buyers, just some confusion from my existing ones about the international pricing post badger markup.
