Payment methods

Display and accept all major card brands and local payment methods to increase revenue and support customers across multiple regions.

Currency conversion

The payments you receive are automatically settled in USD, regardless of the currency your customer paid in.

Transaction fees

Every successful payment is subject to two fees, both deducted automatically before the net amount is added to your available balance.

Fee Amount What it covers
Platform fee 5.9% + $0.20 Tax calculation, fraud monitoring, order fulfillment, and merchant of record
Payment processing fee Variable rate + $0.30 Card 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.

Fraud alerts

Fraud alerts from Verifi and Ethoca are charged at $29.00 per alert and automatically refunded to help prevent disputes.

Prevented disputes

When Verifi or Ethoca resolves a chargeback with the issuing bank before it becomes a formal dispute, the disputed amount is returned to the cardholder and a $30.00 prevention fee is deducted from your balance. Prevented disputes don’t count toward your dispute rate. See disputes for details.

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. 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.
