  Deliveroo does not charge developers per API call for its Developer Portal
  APIs (Partner Platform, Retail Platform, Signature). Access is gated behind a
  partner relationship: an approved restaurant, grocer, or merchant integrates
  for free and Deliveroo monetizes via a commission take-rate on completed
  orders plus a one-time onboarding fee. Commission varies by contract type,
  number of locations, and region. The figures below reflect publicly reported
  UK partner economics; the commission percentage on any given contract is
  negotiated and may differ. The Signature Suite (delivery-as-a-service) is
  priced per delivery via a quote returned by the Create Quote endpoint rather
  than a fixed published rate.
