Selling small-ticket items? Payment processors charge a fixed fee per transaction (~$0.30) that hits harder on $1-5 sales. This is an industry-wide constraint, not specific to any platform. Bundling items into collections lets your fans buy in groups at a single transaction cost instead of paying per-item processing fees.
