How Payments and Fees Work

Your payout is always 85% of your price

The buyer pays the Stripe processing fee on top. It never reduces your payout.

We believe in transparency. Here’s how payments work when someone buys one of your photos:

💰 Sale Price

You choose the price of each photo. For example: €10

🧾 Fees Breakdown

  • Spotted App Fee: 15% of the sale price. This is the only part that reduces your payout.
  • Stripe processing fees: paid by the buyer. They are added on top of the sale price at checkout, so they do not reduce your payout.
    • Calculation: 1.5% of total + €0.25 for standard European Economic Area cards

📊 Example

ItemAmount
Sale Price€10.00
Stripe processing fee (paid by buyer)+ shown at checkout
Buyer pays at checkout€10.00 + Stripe fee
Platform fee (15%)€1.50
You receive€8.50

Stripe fee is added on top and paid by the buyer. It does not reduce your payout.

⚠️ Notes

  • Payouts are sent to your connected Stripe account.
  • Amounts can change if refunds or chargebacks occur.
  • No hidden fees. Everything is shown at checkout and in your dashboard.

💡 Tip: You can track every transaction and payout directly in your Stripe dashboard.
