Merchants pay a monthly transaction fee of 1% of the funding amount per funding event (once a month on the first Monday), capped at $6.00 per funding event.

Merchants will also pay an annual fee of $5 for each affiliate that has earned $600 or more. This fee is for the filing of a 1099 form.

Affiliates will pay a $1.00 payout fee when withdrawing funds from their Unified Payments Wallet.

If you have a verified payout method connected and if you have funds sitting in your Unified Payments Wallet for 30 days after a merchant sends you a commission payment, then Dots will automatically transfer those funds from your Unified Payments Wallet to your preferred payout method.

While we expect this to be infrequent, there may be a one-time identity verification fee of $3.00 for a manual ID verification process. This is only necessary in the unlikely occurrence that the affiliate has a name that appears on the US Government sanctions list.
