What is the Admin Fee?
An admin fee is a % of the order that is added at the admins discression. It is transparently charged, as it is visible in the members carts.
This fee goes to the admin of the group as a payment for undertaking the work of organising the group and the order, liasing with Honest to Goodness, collecting and making payments and organising the distribution or colleciton of the order by members.
Depending on the size of the group and the complexitity of the order, there can be a substantial amount of work that goes into being a group Admin. It is up to the admin if they choose to charge a fee and how much that fee is.
