Payments, refunds, statements, and developer revenue should be understandable before launch.

$10 monthly minimum

The platform minimum keeps the account active for product, storefront, licensing, customer library, and reporting infrastructure.

5% direct platform fee

Direct storefront or SoundSync-hosted checkout sales use the direct platform fee model.

15% marketplace platform fee

Marketplace sales use a higher platform fee because listing and discovery context are different.

Product subscriptions

Subscription products use secure subscription checkout, recurring renewal handling, subscription lifecycle analytics, and license entitlement updates tied to active/trialing/past-due/canceled states.

External redemptions

10,000 external redemptions per month are included. Additional external redemptions are $0.005 each.

Marketing emails

Optional opt-in marketing campaigns include 1,000 marketing emails per month, then usage is $1 per additional 1,000 marketing emails, separate from sales platform fees and transactional/system email.

Checkout processing included

Checkout processing is included in SoundSync platform billing, so developers can price products without managing a separate processor bill for SoundSync checkout.

14-day standard refund window

SoundSync uses a 14-day standard refund window before developer payout availability. This helps protect customers, developers, and the platform from refund and dispute timing issues.

Disputes and chargebacks

After the standard refund window, refund requests may be handled according to the developer policy, SoundSync platform rules, and checkout dispute processes. Chargebacks can still affect timing and proceeds.

Large external serial import/redemption

12,500 external redemptions in a month means 10,000 included and 2,500 billable at $0.005 each, or $12.50 in redemption overage.

External redemptions include reseller/manual/promo/offline serials not sold through SoundSync checkout.
