Dodo Payments
the most itemised fee schedule here, and a clause saying you can't claim against it if it gets your tax wrong.
the clearest published economics in this ranking, undercut by a disclaimer that removes your recourse for exactly the risk you're paying it to carry.
the fee schedule is the most transparent here — domestic rate, international surcharge, subscription surcharge, bnpl surcharge, refund fee and dispute fee all published — and the payout commitment is specific in a way nobody else matches: 'on or before the 20th of the following month', with standard payouts free and a $25 charge only for usd swift to non-us businesses.
the reseller clause is present and correct, matching paddle's and polar's wording, with tax handled across a claimed 220+ countries.
