After you receive an order, fees may be taken out of your transaction to cover any applicable printing and shipping costs (automatic fulfillment), payment processing fees, or Pixieset commission fees.

Fees explained

When your client places an order through your Pixieset Store, there may be fees incurred as follows:

Printing cost - the per-print cost involved in producing the prints at the print lab when using automatic fulfillment. This amount is sent directly to the print lab.

Shipping - the cost of shipping when using automatic fulfillment. This amount is paid for by your clients directly, and we're simply passing it on to the print lab.

Payment processing fee - this fee is charged directly by PayPal or Stripe in order to process the online payment made by your client. In some countries, if sales tax is charged on the payment processing fee, that will be included here. You can find out more information directly on Stripe and PayPal’s websites.

Pixieset Store commission - this refers to the Pixieset commission fee of 0% on any upgraded Client Gallery or Suite plan, and 15% on the Client Gallery - Free plan.

Your payment processor will show the Printing, Shipping, and Pixieset Store commission as the "Pixieset Application Fee" as those fees are sent to Pixieset to pass on to the lab to fulfill the order for you.
