Dodo Payments · FinOps Profile

Dodo Payments Finops

FinOps view of Dodo Payments merchant-of-record (MoR) cost of acceptance. Dodo deducts a percentage-plus-fixed fee per transaction with additive surcharges for international payments, subscriptions, and certain payment methods, then settles the net to the merchant. Refunds ($1), disputes ($30), and small/SWIFT payouts carry flat fees. Because Dodo is the seller of record, it also collects and remits global sales tax / VAT / GST, which is passed through rather than retained by the merchant.
