Revenue Share
How the platform fee is calculated and what sellers receive per sale.
Fee Structure
PulsePlugin charges a 20% platform feeon each paid transaction. Stripe's payment processing fee is charged on top of the gross sale amount. Your net payout is:
Net = Sale price − Stripe fee − Platform fee (20% of Sale price)Stripe's fee is typically 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction (varies by country and card type).
Example Calculation
A buyer purchases a plugin for $9.99:
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sale price | $9.99 |
| Stripe fee (2.9% + $0.30) | −$0.59 |
| Platform fee (20% of $9.99) | −$2.00 |
| Seller net payout | $7.40 |
Exact Stripe fees vary by country, card type, and currency conversion.
Subscriptions
The same 20% platform fee applies to each subscription renewal payment. Stripe's subscription billing fee (1.5% of the recurring charge in some regions) may also apply — Stripe will show the applicable rate in your Stripe Connect dashboard.
Free Plugins
No fees apply to free plugins — there is no transaction to charge against. If you offer a pay-what-you-want plugin with a $0 minimum, the platform fee only applies when a buyer actually pays an amount greater than zero.
Fee Changes
The platform fee may change in the future. Any changes will be announced at least 30 days in advance and will not affect sales made before the effective date. Sellers will be notified by email.
