Tebex Platform Fee Explained
Last updated
Tebex charges a Platform Fee on each transaction processed through your store. This fee enables us to maintain and improve the platform, provide global infrastructure, and deliver key monetization and compliance services for creators and studios.
The Platform Fee is a percentage deducted from the total transaction amount, before taxes and gateway fees are applied. The rate depends on the type of game or platform:
Standard Rate: 5%
FiveM: 15%
This fee is automatically deducted and reflected in your transaction breakdown.

The Platform Fee funds a wide range of features and services to help you run a successful monetized experience.
Receive payouts every 7 days — significantly faster than the typical 30-day delay from traditional payment processors. This helps you manage cash flow with confidence.
Tebex handles chargeback and dispute resolution on your behalf. If a chargeback occurs:
We manage all communication and documentation.
You keep your revenue — even if the dispute is lost.
Tebex covers the full amount of the chargeback under our Seller Protection.
