</Info>

As a platform you can take a **share** of every sale a client business makes. You set it per business. Another app of your own company carries no share.

## How a business you manage is priced

Managing businesses is not tied to a plan: platforms work on every plan. A client's business pays the AgentaOS fees of its own plan, which is pay as you go unless it upgrades. Another app of your own company is priced with you, on your plan. See [Pricing](/mor/pricing).

## How the share is worked out

The share is a **percentage of the sale's price before VAT, plus a fixed amount** per sale.

On a €100 sale (before VAT) with a 10% + €0.50 share, you get €10.50.

* **VAT is left out.** We are the merchant of record and remit the VAT; it is never part of your share.
* **Our own fee stays on the total paid**, as for any sale. See [Pricing](/mor/pricing). The client keeps what remains after our fee and your share.
* **The share is fixed on each sale when it is made.** Changing it later affects new sales only. Past sales keep the share they were made with.
* **Every sale carries it**: a one-time sale, each subscription renewal, and each paid invoice.
* **The fixed part is in the sale's currency.** A fixed part of 0.50 is €0.50 on a EUR sale and \$0.50 on a USD sale.
* **The buyer sees nothing of it.** The buyer's invoice and receipt show the product and the price. The share is between you and your client. Your client sees it on each sale page as **Platform fee** with your name, for example **Platform fee (AgencyOne)**.

## Set the share

The share is set in the dashboard only. There is no API for it. You can set it before the client is verified; the fees then wait, as described under [When you are paid](#when-you-are-paid). Your client cannot change or refuse the share: only you set it.

You can read the current share on each business as `platformFee` (`{ bps, fixedMinor }`: basis points, where `1000` is 10%, and the fixed part in minor units). With no share set, it is `{ bps: 0, fixedMinor: 0 }`, never `null`. See [Business fields](/sdk/pay-businesses#business-fields).

## When you are paid

Your share is paid to you with **your own payout**, once that sale's reserve period ends: 120 days after the sale, unless the client's account has a different reserve period. The client's own money from the sale clears sooner, 14 days after the sale. The **Platform fees** card on your **Balances** page shows the date for each share. Platform fees ride in the same payout as your own sales: one payout per currency. The 1% payout fee applies to the whole payout, fees included. See [Payouts](/payouts/overview#fees).

The client must be in good standing at that point: verified, and not on hold. A share from a client that is not yet verified waits until they are.

A payout that contains only platform fees gets no self-billed invoice. The section **Platform fees collected** on its payout statement is the record of that income. See [Payout statements](/payouts/statements).

## Refunds, disputes and holds

* **Refund.** The buyer gets the money back. If you already received your share of that sale, you return it. A share not yet paid to you is dropped.
* **Lost chargeback.** We take back the share that was paid to you for that sale. A share not yet paid to you is dropped.
* **Hold.** If we put a client on hold after it went live, its fees wait until we resume it. Fees you already received are not taken back because of a hold.

See [Refunds, disputes and chargebacks](/mor/refunds-and-disputes) for the client's side.

## See what is coming

The **Platform fees** card is on the **Balances** page, in the **Overview** tab. It shows one line per day for the next five days, soonest first, then one **Later** line. A day where the client is not yet in good standing says it is paid once that client is verified.

For a quick total per business, `feesThisMonth` on each [business](/sdk/pay-businesses#business-fields) gives your share of its live sales this month, per currency, ready to show.
