description: >-
  Dodo Payments is a merchant of record (MoR) with no monthly fee, no setup
  fee, and no minimum volume on its standard plan; merchants pay only when
  they transact. The base rate is a percentage plus a fixed per-transaction
  fee, with additive surcharges for international payments, subscriptions,
  and certain payment methods (BNPL, PayPal). Tax management, invoicing,
  digital product delivery, license keys, and storefront are included.
  Refunds, disputes, and certain payouts carry flat fees. An Enterprise plan
  with custom pricing and a startup credits program are also offered.
notes: >-
  Fees are merchant-of-record fees deducted before settlement; Dodo is the
  seller of record and remits global sales tax / VAT / GST. Verify current
  rates on the Dodo Payments pricing page during reconciliation.
