Payments, fees, and your earnings
Heart of Daggers keeps everything transparent. Below is every fee involved in a sale and exactly who pays it.
| Fee type | Who pays it | How it is calculated | Why it exists |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commission | Standard sellers | 15 % of the product price | Keeps the marketplace running for free-tier sellers |
| Stripe card-processing fee | Buyer | 2.9 % + 0.30 USD (Stripe’s base US rate) | Covers the cost of accepting cards |
| Instant-delivery fee | Buyer | 1 % of the product price | Funds instant file delivery and bandwidth |
| Platform ops fee | Buyer | Flat 0.60 USD per order | Covers hosting, support, fraud monitoring |
| Pro subscription | Optional for sellers | No per-sale fees, no commission | Lets high-volume creators keep 100 % of the product price |
How much do I actually receive?
| Seller type | Example on a 5 USD product | Your net payout |
|---|---|---|
| Standard seller | 5.00 − 15 % commission (0.75) = 4.25 USD | 85 % of your price |
| Pro seller | 5.00 (no commission) = 5.00 USD | 100 % of your price |
Important: Stripe’s processing fee, the 1 % instant-delivery fee, and the 0.60 USD ops fee are added on top of the product price at checkout. They do not reduce your payout. A buyer purchasing a 5 USD item will see:
5.00 USD (product) + 0.05 USD (instant) + 0.60 USD (ops) + Stripe fee = total at checkout. You, the seller, still receive 4.25 USD (or 5.00 USD if you are Pro).
