Payout FeesCopied!

Polar does not add any additional fees to payouts. All fees below are from the available payout providers and without any premium.

In addition, Polar offers manual withdrawals for developers. Keeping you in control of when to issue payouts.

Unless you have a Polar balance that you haven't withdrawn for several months, at which point we'll eventually need to trigger a payout on your behalf.

Stripe

• $2 per month of active payout(s)

• 0.25% + $0.25 per payout

• Cross border fees (currency conversion): 0.25% (EU) - 1% in other countries.

Open Collective

• 10% on amount transferred

Dispute FeesCopied!

In some circumstances, customers can open a dispute to their bank if they don't recognize the payment that has been made. In this case, our payment processor immediately withdraws funds and bills us dispute fees. Those fees are not refunded, even if the dispute is won in our favor. That's why we pass on this fee.

This fee is usually around $15 per dispute.
