Billing and Settlement Walkthrough

Start with product revenue

SoundSync charges one 10% fee on product revenue after discounts and before tax. Payment processing is included for SoundSync-managed checkout. Marketplace-attributed sales use the same fee, not a second marketplace charge.

For a $49 pre-tax sale, the fee is $4.90 and developer proceeds are $44.10.

Add monthly charges, not another sales percentage

The $10 monthly minimum is a minimum total of SoundSync charges, not a $10 subscription added to every bill. Sale fees, marketing-email charges, redemption overages, and other applicable SoundSync charges count toward it. If those charges total $7, the minimum adjustment is $3; if they total $12, no minimum adjustment is added. Sale fees already deducted from your proceeds are counted toward the minimum, not charged again on the statement. The shortfall is reconciled after the calendar month closes, not added separately to every partial-month statement.

Each calendar month includes 1,000 marketing emails, then $1.00 per additional 1,000 emails. Transactional emails, including receipts, account security messages, purchase notices, and license or activation messages, are included separately and do not consume the marketing allowance.

Each calendar month includes 10,000 qualifying external redemptions, then $0.005 per redemption. Examples include free-product claims and reseller or other off-portal serial claims. A free BOGO gift included in a paid SoundSync checkout has no external-redemption charge. Ordinary license validation, device activation, and reactivation are not each a new external redemption merely because they call the licensing API.

Reconcile the transfer

Match the itemized balance and payment reference to the actual payout. A failed or unexecuted transfer remains an unpaid amount to resolve.
