Pandabase is pay-as-you-go. There are no monthly fees, setup fees, or minimum commitments. You only pay when you make a sale.

Transaction fees

Every successful payment is subject to two fees, both deducted automatically before the net amount is added to your available balance.
FeeAmountWhat it covers
Platform fee5.9% + $0.20Tax calculation, fraud monitoring, order fulfillment, and merchant of record
Payment processing feeVariable rate + $0.30Card network interchange and acquirer processing
The processing rate varies by card type, region, and currency. The exact rate for each transaction is shown on the payment detail page in your dashboard.

Dispute fee

$20.00 per dispute, regardless of outcome. When a customer files a chargeback, the dispute fee is deducted from your balance along with the disputed amount. The fee is not refunded even if you win the dispute.

Payouts

The minimum payout amount is $50.00 in all countries. Each payout has a base fee of $1.50. Payouts to accounts outside the United States also incur cross-border and currency conversion fees. You can preview exact fees before requesting a payout using the estimate tool in your dashboard. See the payout guide for more details.

Refunds

Issuing a refund is free. The refunded amount is deducted from your store’s available balance, but the original transaction fees are not returned.
