This article explains how payment fees work on bsport, including:
How fees were handled before
What happens during the transition period
How fees are applied today
How refunds, disputes, and PayPal fees are managed
🧾 Understand how payment fees are billed
💡 Starting 9th of June 2026, bsport introduced fees on the fly. Rather than taking the payment fees at the end of the month. Payment fees are now taken directly during payouts.
Before the release date
Before the introduction of fees on the fly, payment fees were not deducted during payouts.
Instead:
You received the full payment amount in your payouts
bsport calculated all payment fees at the end of the month
These fees were then billed via your monthly bsport invoice
This approach could make it harder to track your actual net revenue and often results in a larger invoice at the end of the month.
During the transition period
This only applies to the first month after fee on the fly has been activated.
When the feature is activated mid-month, your invoice will include a mix of both systems.
You will see:
Your bsport subscription
Stripe payment fees
→ Correspond to transactions processed before activation and disputes fees
→ Billed at the end of the month (old system)
This ensures:
No double-billing
After the full rollout (current system)
This is the new logic from now on.
Today, payment fees are applied on the fly, meaning:
Fees are deducted directly at the time of each transaction
You receive the net amount in your payouts:
Net = Gross payment − Fees
Monthly invoices are simplified and include:
Your bsport subscription
Dispute fees
→ Dispute fees are still billed at the end of the month
🏦 Understanding your payouts
Breakdown
Your payout view now includes a detailed breakdown directly on the transaction line:
Gross: the original payment made by the customer
Fees: the payment fees deducted
Total: what is actually transferred to your account
The same logic is applied to the summary:
Refunds and special cases
Refunds
The original payment amount is deducted from your payouts
Payment fees are not refunded
This means:
You return the full amount to the customer
The initial fees remain charged
Failed direct debit payments
If a direct debit payment fails:
The original payment amount is removed from your payouts
The fees are refunded to you
Dispute fees
Dispute fees are handled separately:
They are not deducted on the fly
They continue to be billed at the end of the month
They will appear on your monthly invoice even after full rollout
Payout timing nuances
Some transactions (like direct debit) may:
Appear in payouts before final confirmation
Be adjusted later if they fail or are reversed
These cases can sometimes impact how fees and amounts appear across multiple payouts.
🌐 PayPal fees
PayPal fees follow the same logic as Stripe fees:
They are deducted on the fly during each transaction
PayPal payments do not appear in the payouts.
