We also reserve the right to adjust for any future fee updates mandated by Stripe.Payout fees

A 2% platform fee is applied to each transaction to support affiliate tracking and infrastructure. This fee is deducted before affiliate commissions are calculated. Standard processing fees apply separately.Refunds and chargebacks
You have the flexibility to issue full or partial refunds to your customers. Please note that original transaction fees are not recoverable, as these are retained by the card networks and payment providers. To proactively protect you from $15 dispute fees, we may issue a refund within 30-60 days of a purchase if we identify a high risk of a chargeback. This is a preventative measure designed solely to save you from unnecessary penalty fees.To maintain a healthy payment ecosystem, card networks enforce strict monitoring and penalties for accounts with elevated dispute rates (typically exceeding 0.7%). As your Merchant of Record, we take on the responsibility of managing this risk. We actively monitor transaction health and implement proactive measures to stay well below these industry thresholds, ensuring your store remains in good standing
