The platform fee is our cut of each payment you collect through DJfindr. It's taken automatically — you never invoice us for it — and the rate depends on your plan.
| Plan | Platform fee |
|---|---|
| Lite | 20% |
| Pro | 10% |
| Platinum | 5% |
How a payment breaks down
When a client pays, three numbers come off the top before the rest is scheduled to your bank:
- Total Collected — what the client paid.
- Processing Fees — the card processing cost.
- Platform Fee — our percentage, applied after processing fees.
- Transfer Amount — what actually reaches you.
You can see all four on any payment. Go to Finance → Payments, select a payment, and read the Payment Details panel. See Reading a Payment's Fee Breakdown.
What it applies to
The fee applies to every payment collected through DJfindr — deposits, remainders, full amounts, event extensions, and PayLinks. It's charged per payment, not per booking, so a deposit and a remainder are two separate deductions on the same event.
What it covers
Card processing, fraud protection, payouts to your bank, the booking and proposal system, document handling, messaging, and the discovery that brings clients to your profile.
Lowering it
The only way to reduce the rate is to move up a plan. The change applies to payments collected after the upgrade takes effect — it isn't applied retroactively to money already collected.
Taxes
The platform fee isn't a tax, and we don't withhold tax from your earnings. You're responsible for reporting and paying tax on what you earn. Your Finance → Payments and Finance → Payouts records are the numbers to work from.
