v1.16

International and currency-conversion costs are now taken in each payment's fee

From 09:00 UTC on September 11, 2026, the card costs that depend on where a card was issued are priced into the payment itself.

Your plan's card rate has always been the rate for a domestic card. A card issued in another country, or an order charged in a currency other than your account's, costs more to process — and until now that difference was not visible on the payment it belonged to. It is now taken in that payment's transaction fee, at the moment of the charge, at cost.

Changed

  • International cards: +1.5%, at cost. When a card was issued outside your payments account's country, 1.5% of the payment is added to that payment's fee. Cards issued in Puerto Rico and other US territories count as US cards.
  • Currency conversion: +1%, at cost. When an order is charged in a currency other than your account's default currency, 1% of the payment is added to its fee.
  • Renewals and post-purchase offers are priced off the saved card, the same way.
  • Klarna and Afterpay carry their own processing rate. 5.99% + 30¢ for Klarna and 6% + 30¢ for Afterpay, plus your plan's commission — 6.89% / 6.59% / 6.49% + 30¢ for Klarna and 6.9% / 6.6% / 6.5% + 30¢ for Afterpay on Basic / Pro / Enterprise.
  • What could not be priced at the charge goes on your next invoice. If a card's issuing country was not available when the payment was made, the amount not collected appears as an itemised line on your next PlatformDTC invoice, with the number of payments, the volume and the rate.

Unchanged

  • Your domestic card rate. 3.8% + 30¢ on Basic, 3.5% + 30¢ on Pro, 3.4% + 30¢ on Enterprise.
  • No margin on either pass-through, and still no separate transaction fee.
  • Nothing charged before 09:00 UTC on September 11, 2026 is repriced or billed.
  • A rate card agreed in writing for your store still applies.

The full terms are in section 6.2 of the Terms of Service; every rate is on platformdtc.com/pricing.
