  Many retail stores do this to their vendors. Amazon does it to it's "sellers", which are really just a category of "customers". As an amazon seller, you pay for the privilege of selling through their platform.

    Retail stores charge manufacturers for shelf space. It's often called a slotting fee. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotting_fee https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slotting_fee

  To me this a form of bundling and should probably be illegal.
