For plugin developers
How you get paid
Every sale of your plugin is paid to you through Stripe, the payment company used by millions of businesses. Here is exactly what happens to the money, from the buyer's card to your bank.
From sale to your bank
- You connect Stripe
Press "Set up payouts" and Stripe opens its own secure, encrypted page. There you fill in who you are and where you want to be paid. You can link your bank instantly by signing in to it, or type the account number. Your bank details go straight to Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment company, and TEQHNE never sees or stores them.
- A buyer pays
The buyer pays by card through Stripe's secure checkout. The card fee is added on top for the buyer, so it never comes out of your share.
- You get an email
We email you the moment you make a sale, with the price and your exact share. Every sale also shows on your dashboard.
- 7 days to settle
Your share waits 7 days, the buyer's window to ask for a refund. That protects you from buyers who pay, download and then dispute the charge.
- Sent to you automatically
On day 7, your share is sent to your Stripe account by itself. Nobody has to press a button, including us.
- Stripe pays your bank
Stripe sends the money to your bank on your normal Stripe payout schedule. You can see every payment in your own Stripe dashboard.
What you keep
TEQHNE keeps 12% of the price, never less than $3 on a paid sale. Founding developers pay only 6% for their first six months. Paid plugins start at $10, so you always receive something. Free plugins cost nothing.
| Your price | You receive (12%) | You receive, founding (6%) |
|---|---|---|
| $10 | $7 | $7 |
| $29 | $25.52 | $26 |
| $49 | $43.12 | $46 |
| $99 | $87.12 | $93.06 |
| $199 | $175.12 | $187.06 |
The buyer also pays a card processing fee on top of your price. It never comes out of your share.
Your money is protected
- No surprise deductions. The only thing taken from your price is the fee above. The email for every sale shows your exact share.
- Refunds only inside the 7 days. A buyer can only be refunded before your share is sent to you, and only after TEQHNE looks at the request. Once you're paid, it's yours.
- We handle card disputes. If a buyer disputes a card payment with their bank, TEQHNE answers it with Stripe and tells you.
- Your licenses, your buyers. Every buyer gets a license code tied to your plugin, so your dashboard always shows who bought what and when.
- Leave any time. You can pause or remove your plugin from your dashboard whenever you like. Sales already made are still paid out on schedule.
Taxes
Your payouts are your income, and you handle your own taxes on them. Your Stripe dashboard keeps a record of every payment to help you, and Stripe may ask for tax details when you set up payouts.
