An example calculation
A German end customer buys a product via Digistore24 for 100 € (including 19% VAT in Germany). The affiliate should receive a 50% commission.
The individual parties are paid in this order:
- German tax office (19 % VAT): 15.97 €
- Digistore24 (7.9 % + 1 €): 8.90 €
- Affiliate net payout: 33.80 € + 3.76 €*
- Vendor net payout: 33.80 € + 3.76 €*
*The security deposit (10% of the purchase amount) is paid out 60 days after the purchase. This is a regular, customary internal safety precaution.

Discount for gross prices from 400 €
Digistore24 grants a discount of 3% for products with a gross price of at least 400 €; the reduced margin is then only 4.9% + 1 € per transaction.
Note
The 4.9% only applies to amounts above 400 €, not for the whole transaction!
Example
You sell a product for 800 €:
- For the first 400 €, the Digistore24 share is: 7.9 % of 400 € = 31.60 €
- For the second 400 €, the Digistore24 share is: 4.9 % of 400 € = 19.60 €
- 1 € for the transaction is also added
Result: In this case, the Digistore24 share is: 31.60 € + 19.60 € + 1 € = 52.2 €
Costs for refunds
For refunds, a fee of 0.60 € applies for amounts up to 10 € or 1 € for amounts over 10 €.
Example:

Chargeback fee for credit card payments: 50 €
Chargeback fees for credit card payments are extremely rare on Digistore24; the probability they will occur is less than 0.1%. Most vendors do not receive a single chargeback during their many years of business. We mention it here for the sake of completeness.
The high costs are due to the bureaucratic effort that such a chargeback brings with it for all parties, including the credit card company. In order to solve a chargeback, a lot of paper has to be described and Digistore24 has to provide thorough proof of the complete business transaction with the credit card company. In addition, the credit card company charges us a correspondingly high fee.
Distribution of chargeback fees for joint ventures
For joint ventures, the chargeback fees are distributed among the joint venture partners in accordance with the specified revenue shares.
Example:
The following revenue distribution has been specified for a product sale:
Partner 1 receives 5 €, Partner 2 receives 15 €
Therefore, the share percentage is:
Partner 1: 25 %
Partner 2: 75 %
The chargeback fee is therefore:
Partner 1: 25 %
Partner 2: 75 %
