Platform fee

How the platform fee is shown in protected marketplace flow and what users should expect from it.

Fee overview

For supported protected flow, the platform shows the fee before completion so both sides can see the gross amount, the fee and the expected seller payout before the final confirmation step.

The fee is displayed inside the deal or settlement flow before the trade is completed.
The seller can review the estimated payout before confirming the next deal step.
If a case enters dispute, funds can remain protected until manual review is finished.

Example

If the buyer pays 100 XCH and the platform fee is 5%, the shown fee is 5 XCH and the expected seller payout is 95 XCH.
