Transaction fees
Our standard processing fee is 4.5% + $0.40 per sale. We utilize Stripe’s infrastructure to power our payments; our rate covers their base costs (2.9% + $0.30) as well as the $0.50 tax handling fee, so you don’t have to manage those separately.Additional fees For transactions involving non-US cards, Stripe applies a 1.5% international fee. We pass this cost through directly with zero markup. We also reserve the right to adjust for any future fee updates mandated by Stripe.
Payout fees
To help you keep more of what you earn as you scale, we’ve ditched percentage-based payout fees. Instead, we charge a flat $20 fee per payout. Standard payouts occur between the 1st and 5th of every month via wire transfer.Learn more about payouts

Cart recovery
Blink charges 4% per successful cart recoveryRefunds and chargebacks
You have the flexibility to issue full or partial refunds to your customers. Please note that original transaction fees are not recoverable, as these are retained by the card networks and payment providers. To proactively protect you from $15 dispute fees, we may issue a refund within 30-60 days of a purchase if we identify a high risk of a chargeback. This is a preventative measure designed solely to save you from unnecessary penalty fees.To maintain a healthy payment ecosystem, card networks enforce strict monitoring and penalties for accounts with elevated dispute rates (typically exceeding 0.7%). As your Merchant of Record, we take on the responsibility of managing this risk. We actively monitor transaction health and implement proactive measures to stay well below these industry thresholds, ensuring your store remains in good standing
