// faq
Common questions.
Where do these fees come from?
Each platform's own public pricing page or help center, checked on October 17, 2026 and linked under every card. Fees are in US dollars for a seller in the US. Prices change: check each platform before you decide.
Does the Pocketsflow fee include card processing and tax?
Yes. 4.7% + $0.30 is one estimated transaction cost: platform, payment processing, tax handling when required and dispute prevention. Pocketsflow is the merchant of record, so VAT and sales tax are collected and paid for you. The exact amount can vary by payment method, buyer region and currency, and is itemized on every order.
Is a monthly plan with no platform fee cheaper?
It can be, once you sell enough. At a $29 price, Stan's $29 a month plan with card processing costs less than Pocketsflow above about $1,611 a month in sales. Below that, the monthly fee costs more than it saves. Remember that a platform that is not the merchant of record leaves sales tax and VAT filing with you.
What is not in the calculator?
Marketplace sales (Gumroad Discover is 30%), PayPal surcharges, affiliate fees, payout fees, currency conversion and refunds. They depend on how you sell, so the calculator compares the sales you bring yourself.
Are you affiliated with these platforms?
No. Gumroad, Lemon Squeezy and Stan are trademarks of their owners. They are named only to compare published prices.
