the honest maths

When does a paid plan pay off?

Both upgrades save you 2% on every sale. Divide the monthly fee by that saving and you get the exact point where paying us monthly becomes cheaper than staying free.

UpgradeMonthly feeFee saved per salePays for itself at
Person — €9·mo€92% (5% → 3%)€450 / month in sales
Business — €29·mo€292% (4% → 2%)€1,450 / month in sales

Person

Sell more than €450 a month and the €9 plan is the cheaper choice. Below that, stay free — the free plan costs you less.

Business

Sell more than €1,450 a month and the €29 plan is the cheaper choice. Below that, the free Business plan wins.

worked example

A €10.00 product, sold to a buyer in Belgium

Belgium charges 21% VAT on digital goods. Here is the same sale on every plan, to the cent.

 Person free (5%)Person €9·mo (3%)Business free (4%)Business €29·mo (2%)
Your price (net)€10.00€10.00€10.00€10.00
VAT (21%, Belgium)€2.10€2.10€2.10€2.10

Payment gateway fee€0.50€0.30€0.40€0.20
You receive€9.50€9.70€9.60€9.80

The VAT never touches your money — we collect it and remit it as merchant of record. Payment gateway fees (processing costs) are shown white-label — never as a third-party brand name.

the rest of the fees

Additional fees, stated plainly

Three costs sit outside the platform fee. We would rather you read about them here than find them on a statement.

Processor pass-through

The underlying payment processor charges a cost per transaction. We pass it through at cost — we do not profit on it.

final numbers published before launch

Dispute handling

When a buyer disputes a charge, the processor levies a dispute cost. We pass that on and keep dispute-ready records for you.

Currency conversion

Sales settled in a currency other than yours carry a conversion cost from the processor, passed through at cost.

questions

Fair questions, straight answers

Only when you make a sale. The free plans have no monthly fee at all — the platform fee is taken from each sale as it happens. On a paid plan you pay the monthly fee plus the lower per-sale rate. No sales, no per-sale fees.

Nothing comes out of your price. You set a net price; mavi pay works out the VAT for the buyer's country, adds it on top at checkout, collects it and remits it — that is what being a merchant of record means. The platform fee is calculated on your net price, not on the VAT.

Yes, in either direction. Move from free to paid when a paid plan pays for itself, or back to free if your volume drops. Your rate changes with the plan; there is no lock-in and no penalty for switching.

When you refund a sale, the buyer gets the full amount back — including the VAT they paid. How the platform fee and processor pass-through costs are treated on a refund will be published with the final numbers before launch, so you can read it here rather than discover it later.

Before launch. Every rate on this page carries the provisional mark until our accountants have signed the numbers off. The final rates will be published on this page, and anyone already selling with us will be told before anything changes.

Start free. Upgrade when the maths says so.

No monthly fee until a paid plan actually saves you money — and this page will always show you exactly when that is.
