Understanding RequestIn Fees

Here's how fees work when your audience makes song requests

Payment Processing Fees

PayPal processes all payments. Processing fees vary by payment method:

PayPal Wallet & Venmo 3.49% + $0.49

Credit/Debit Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay 2.89% + $0.29

These fees go directly to PayPal and are industry-standard for payment processing.

RequestIn Platform Fee

RequestIn charges a small platform fee per transaction to maintain the platform and continue developing new features. This fee is automatically calculated at checkout and covered by your audience.

How Fees Are Applied

Fees are automatically added to the audience member's total at checkout — your audience pays them, not you.

You always receive the exact amount you set for each song. The checkout fee is calculated to cover PayPal's processing cost and RequestIn's platform fee, so your payout is never touched.

Example: $20.00 song request

Song Request Price $20.00

Processing Fee + RequestIn Fee $1.48

Total Paid by Audience $21.48

You receive $20.00.

International Payment Notice

International payments through PayPal may incur additional processing fees that vary by country, currency, and payment method. These variable fees may reduce your final payout amount.
