What PlatformDTC does
PlatformDTC can take card payments through your own Stripe account in Poland, and those sales carry no PlatformDTC fee and no plan fee. The PLN 40,000 month above therefore costs the same PLN 800.00 on PlatformDTC: Stripe's rate and nothing else, with the cards your customers save kept in your own Stripe account.

A worked month
Assumptions: Stripe's standard pricing, an average order of PLN 200, every payment successful, no refunds or disputes. Each line is rounded to the cent.
PLN 40,000.00 in 200 orders, all standard European Economic Area cards: 1.5% of PLN 40,000.00 = PLN 600.00, plus 200 × PLN 1.00 = PLN 200.00. Total PLN 800.00, or 2.00% of sales.
PLN 200,000.00 in 1,000 orders, all standard European Economic Area cards: 1.5% of PLN 200,000.00 = PLN 3,000.00, plus 1,000 × PLN 1.00 = PLN 1,000.00. Total PLN 4,000.00, or 2.00% of sales.
If a fifth of that PLN 200,000 month came from international cards at 3.25% + PLN 1.00, with no currency conversion, the bill would be PLN 3,200.00 on the domestic PLN 160,000 plus PLN 1,500.00 on the international PLN 40,000: PLN 4,700.00 in total.
| Month | Card mix | Stripe fees | Effective rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLN 40,000 in 200 orders | All domestic standard cards | PLN 800.00 | 2.00% |
| PLN 40,000 in 200 orders | 80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion) | PLN 940.00 | 2.35% |
| PLN 200,000 in 1,000 orders | All domestic standard cards | PLN 4,000.00 | 2.00% |
| PLN 200,000 in 1,000 orders | 80% domestic, 20% international cards (no conversion) | PLN 4,700.00 | 2.35% |
What raises your fees
The headline rate covers the cheapest case. These push the real cost up:
- Premium cards: 1.9% + PLN 1.00 instead of 1.5% + PLN 1.00.
- Cards from abroad — UK cards: 2.5% + PLN 1.00.
- Cards from abroad — international cards (outside the EEA and UK): 3.25% + PLN 1.00.
- Currency conversion: +2% when the payment is in a currency other than the one you are paid out in.
- Disputes: PLN 90.00 for each dispute received, plus PLN 90.00 if you counter it by hand (given back if you win).
- Small orders: the fixed PLN 1.00 weighs more on a small basket. On a PLN 40 order, 1.5% + PLN 1.00 is 4.00% of the sale.
For developers
The fee Stripe actually took on a payment is on that charge's balance transaction (fee and fee_details), in your settlement currency. Read it from there rather than recomputing it from this page, because card type and conversion change it per payment.
