Here's what you actually keep, after platform and Stripe fees.
| Where you sell | What's taken | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| Streaming | Paid per stream, not per sale (≈ 20–30 streams) | ~$0.10 |
| Typical D2C | 20% platform cut | $20.00 |
| DROPPD Basic | 10% DROPPD fee ($2.50) and Stripe processing ($1.03) | $21.47 |
| DROPPD Pro | 5% DROPPD fee ($1.25) and Stripe processing ($1.03) | $22.72 |
Streaming pays $0.003–$0.005 per stream — not per sale. D2C figures are illustrative estimates.
Stripe processing (2.9% + 30¢) is charged by Stripe, not DROPPD.
International cards may incur a higher Stripe processing fee (4.4% + 30¢, a 1.5-point surcharge), deducted from what you keep.
