Fees
Stores which use Checkout have one optional plan called Plus, which is £12.49 a month. You're still able to use the Starter plan which doesn't have a monthly cost - great if you're just getting started. There is a platform fee of 5% per transaction, and a gateway fee depending on the payment method used - which for PayPal & Credit Cards is an industry low of 2.49%. Listed below is some useful information about other fees that may be charged during the use of Checkout.
If you receive a chargeback we won't charge you any additional fees, or take the money away from you. We will fight the chargeback on your behalf, and if we lose, you'll still keep all your hard earned money. We call this our Seller Protection, and it's specifically designed to ensure you don't have to worry about any unexpected costs.
If you refund a player, the original gateway fee will not be returned to you. We have to keep this amount as the payment gateway has already charged us for this.
When withdrawing funds out of your wallet there may be a one-off fee charged depending on your withdrawal method, country, or currency. If you withdraw via a different currency than the currency which your wallet is set to you will be charged a 2.00% foreign exchange fee.
Unlike other payment platforms you are not charged any additional percentage by PayPal when requesting a withdrawal. The low fixed fees for withdrawing via PayPal are listed below:
