Fees & Pricing

PingBusiness retains the right to update it from time to time — material changes will be notified by email or dashboard notice with reasonable advance notice.

Platform Fee

Fee Amount
Platform fee 5% per transaction
  • The platform fee is calculated on the total order value of each sale and deducted automatically when the order is placed. There is no fixed per-transaction amount, no monthly fee, no setup fee, and no charge for test mode.
  • The fee is the same for one-time purchases and subscription payments, for all supported payment methods, and for domestic and international buyers — no surcharges.
  • Example: your customer pays US$100 for your product → platform fee US$5.00.

What The Platform Fee Includes

  • Payment acceptance and processing through our licensed payment partners
  • Hosted checkout, subscription billing, and customer receipts
  • Calculation, collection, and remittance of applicable indirect taxes (VAT / GST / sales tax) on sales made through the PingBusiness checkout
  • On/off ramping fee to convert fiat to digital assets or vice versa
  • Fraud screening and transaction monitoring
  • Dashboard, reporting, and API access

Checkout Location And Indirect Taxes

  • Your account has a checkout location setting that determines the indirect tax treatment of your sales. By default, the checkout location is set to Hong Kong, which currently imposes no sales tax / VAT / GST on sales of digital products — so no indirect tax is added at checkout, and your buyer pays the listed price.
  • If you change your checkout location to another country, sales through your checkout become subject to that country's indirect taxes (VAT / GST / sales tax): the applicable tax is calculated and added at checkout, collected from the buyer, and remitted by PingBusiness — at no extra fee to you.
  • The platform fee is 5% in all cases, regardless of checkout location. Indirect tax is charged on top of your price and borne by the buyer — it does not change what you receive per sale.
  • Note on taxes: You remain responsible for your own income tax on your earnings, for choosing a checkout location consistent with your circumstances, and for any tax obligations arising outside the platform. See the Service Agreement for details.
