When setting up a shop item, it may appear that to charge £15, you need to input £14.50. Here’s why (for UK pricing):
PLAI automatically adds a 50p transaction fee at checkout. This helps manage parent expectations and covers processing costs:
20p → Stripe
30p → PLAI
This means the program receives 95.6% of the listing price (£14.50 in this example).
