Card networks periodically change interchange, qualification rules, and pass-through fees. When this happens, we may update our payment-associated fees (e.g., payment processing, payout, and age-verification/estimation fees).
Updates and your responsibility. We may adjust payment-associated fees without prior notice. By using the Service, you agree to review this page regularly for current fees and to consult the Terms of Service page for details.
Pricing for Stars
The fees applied only to your earnings and typically cover:
- Platform Service
- Payment Processing
- Payouts
The final fees on the platform are set individually for each Star. The primary driver is your chosen transaction-fee model, which determines if subscriber pays most of the payment processing costs.
*The platform may apply different fee structure depending on the content provider type. For example, complex integrations may incur extra 3% fee. For most of the content creators the fees are as simple as described above.

- Platform Service fee — 7% for regular content providers.
- Integrated content providers fees. For creator-operated sites integrated with SubscribeStar, the Platform Service fee is at least 10%; all other fees follow the same adjustments as for regular providers — see Transaction Costs & Fee Variability for Stars
- Payment Processing fees (aka "Transaction costs", per sale/charge) — factors and the illustrative range are in transaction Costs & Fee Variability for Stars. Payment processing fees occur at transaction time and reduce the gross before it reaches your balance. Applies only if you choose to cover the payment processing fees by yourself (otherwise, the fees are passed onto subscribers).
- Payout fees. Depend on the withdrawal method/provider, currency and the country of the withdrawal — see Terms of Service.
- Associated pass-through costs (if applicable) — any extra costs associated with the transaction (e.g. age verification, extra resource usage, etc.), anything outlined in the Terms of Service.
Pricing for Subscribers
Billing: You are charged the Subscription Fee (i.e. Subscription Price) shown on the Star's page, on the schedule set by the Star.
Taxes: Where required by law, we add and remit indirect taxes and other tax-related charges, including VAT, GST, QST, sales tax, digital services taxes, and any similar levies that apply in your location. These amounts are based on your billing or location details and the rules of your jurisdiction, and the tax (if any) is shown at checkout. Rates vary by jurisdiction and may change as local laws update. You must provide and keep accurate billing and location information. Where required by law, we calculate and add VAT/GST/QST/sales tax based on your details and other signals (e.g., IP, issuer country). If information is missing or inaccurate, we may determine and collect tax at checkout or retroactively, adjust past charges, or limit access. If we are unable to collect required taxes due to misrepresentation, you are responsible for any resulting tax liabilities.
International cards: If your card is issued outside the United States, an additional 3.5% International Transaction Fee applies to each charge.
Card type: Some cards (for example, business/commercial or prepaid/gift cards) may carry higher network or issuer costs. When applicable, an additional pass-through fee may be added and shown before you pay.
Bank/FX fees: Your bank may add foreign transaction and currency-conversion fees; these are separate and set by your bank.
Payment Processing fees: You are required to pay payment processing fees for certain subscriptions, if the relevant content creator has set up the transaction fee model to pass the fees onto subscribers. Please refer to the Pricing for Stars section above for details.
