What PlatformDTC does
PlatformDTC connects your own PayPal business account in Denmark: the PayPal button at checkout, and PayPal card processing for cards typed into your checkout. PlatformDTC adds no fee to those sales, so the DKK 75,000 month above costs the same DKK 3,070.00 on PlatformDTC, with no plan fee. PayPal card processing can also act as the backup when a card is declined on PlatformDTC Payments or your own Stripe account.

What raises your fees
The headline 3.4% + DKK 2.60 is the floor for a domestic PayPal payment in Denmark. These push the real cost up:
- Shoppers paying with a PayPal account cost more than guest card payments here: 3.4% + DKK 2.60 against 1.9% + DKK 2.60.
- Payments from abroad: nothing extra from the EEA, 1.29% from the United Kingdom and 1.99% from all other countries.
- Currency conversion: 3% above the base exchange rate whenever PayPal converts the money.
- Disputes: DKK 100.00 each, or DKK 200.00 once your dispute volume counts as high.
- Card chargebacks: DKK 120.00 each.
- Small orders: the fixed DKK 2.60 weighs more on a small basket than on a large one.
For developers
The fee PayPal took on each payment is returned on the capture in the Orders API (seller_receivable_breakdown.paypal_fee), so you can reconcile real fees against this page.
