Looks good! On Paddle on a 199 transaction Iām left with around 188.5.
Curious how Stripe stacks up, but Iāve also heard that once you factor in things like Stripe Radar or other products of theirs, itās not actually as cheap as advertised - not sure though, just hearsay.
Congrats and to many more sales!

First of all, congrats! 
Regarding payment processors:
PayPal: there is a weird fee, as it depends by customer payment method or I am not sure of what, as sometimes fee is 3,48 $ USD of a sum of 59,00 $ USD, while sometimes it is only 1,33 $ USD of a sum of 131,70 $ USD. PayPal below:
But for PayPal, if you are in the EU and you are paid in USD, you will need to tackle also their EUR/USD conversion, which many times PayPal support will state that is impossible. However, if you do your research, it is possible and you can get directly your money in USD, to your card - there is a method for this, if you guys are interested, let me know and I can do a post on it.
For Stripe, fees can seem to be lower at a first glance, but they might end up to be roughly similar, as they add also some kind of multicurrency chargeā¦ Check below:
For both payment processors, if you handle large amounts of money, there is the possibility to negotiate fees, so if you are a big fish, you can contact them and have a friendly chat with them, you can end up with lower fees as a result.

I am am ok with the commisiton form paypal, just curious what are you guys using and how is that going is it better than paypal?
I also activated the card option via paypal so a client can pay with a card without having a paypal accoutn which is really cool, I have everything coverde now, just curious how is goign with other payments methods.
Try Stripe, it should be a good alternative for card payments.
Iām using Paddle. Used to be very happy with them but it seems to be getting worse:
- Support went from fast replies to getting replies in weeks
- Refunds used to be free, now they keep the commission
- They just raised dispute fees + now apparently youāre charged even if you win the dispute
So Iāll probably be looking at Stripe for my next project.
I think PayPal is fine but looks like the company is not doing that well? Iād be worried about stability. 8+ yrs ago I was using them a lot and my withdrawals kept getting blocked above certain values. Their support was clueless and was telling me things like ātry logging in from the computer, not mobileā , ātry withdrawing a smaller amountā etc Iām not really sure how things are these days and whether theyāve improved
