s4s may levy a Transaction Fee which is payable by the provider in respect of transactions processed through the Site, as follows:
• No transaction fee will be charged for purchases where the relevant Local Authority has contractual arrangements in place with PCG to provide the Site without transaction fees to providers.
These Local Authorities currently are: Bradford, Buckinghamshire, Calderdale, East Riding, Doncaster, Hampshire, Hillingdon, Hull, Kirklees, Manchester, North Lincolnshire, West Sussex and York.
• For all other areas, a fee of 2.5% of the invoice value, with such fees in respect of any individual package of care subject to a cap of £300.00 in the first 12 month period and £200.00 per annum thereafter. This is reduced to 1.25% of the invoice value where the purchase is made by a Local Authority (and with such fees in respect of any individual package of care being subject to a cap of £150.00 in the first 12 month period and £100.00 per annum thereafter).
Fees will become payable upon a User confirming payment of the invoice on the Site, and will be subject to VAT at the applicable rate. Invoices will be raised by PCG on a monthly basis wherever an amount of more than £2.50 is due, and will be settled by Direct Debit unless agreed otherwise. Transaction Fees will be waived where payment of invoices occurs more than 6 months after the date the invoice was raised.

shop4support was created when In Control, the national charity and pioneer of self-directed support, came up with the idea of using the internet to help people needing support find and buy care products and services more easily.
A website that helps people take charge of their own support so they can live the life they want, shop4support is similar to an online supermarket but is dedicated to social care - it's a unique shopping experience for people who have a disability, are getting older and/ or need support to live their life.
We believe the support people need should be designed in a way which makes sense to each individual and their family, so that people can direct their own support.
As a provider, shop4support brings you the following benefits:
