What service fees does Hotmart charge?

This means that you only pay when a transaction is approved, and the fees will be deducted from the amount due. The fees we charge are service fees, which may be represented by the Intermediation Fee and/or the License Fee, which are deducted from the final sale price of the product. Other fees may also apply, related to services hired or withdrawals made.

Intermediation fee and license fee

 

The Intermediation fee (called the Hotmart Fee) varies according to the sale price of the product (percentage over the value of the product) and currency paid in the commission. It will be deducted from all approved transactions and is related to Hotmart's intermediation service;

On the other hand, the License Fee is a fixed amount that depends on the currency in which commissions will be paid. It will be deducted from all approved transactions and  is related to the license to use Hotmart.

The amounts applicable to these fees follow different rules, defined by the commission currency and the transaction value (classified as general transactions or microtransactions).

Below you'll find the fee for transactions considered general or microtransactions.

●      Hotmart fee applied to Microtransactions

  • Microtransactions are those that involve a low amount (less than or equal to 10 BRL, 15 USD, 15 EUR or 15 GBP), as you'll see in the following tables.

Fee amounts are related to the price of the product, transaction amount, or commission amount. That means it varies according to the currency used in the product payment and/or in which the commission will be paid. There are different rules considering whether the currency used in the purchase will be different or the same as the one in which the commission will be paid, since it involves currency conversion.

Check out the rules applied for Microtransactions:

1.    Microtransactions in which the currency used in the purchase is the same one used to pay commissions

  1. Currency used for Purchase and Commission
Product Price Hotmart Fee USD
Less than or equal to USD 15 9.9% + USD 0.10 EUR
Less than or equal to EUR 15 9.9% + EUR 0.10 GBP
Less than or equal to 15 GBP 9.9% + GBP 0.10 BRL
Less than or equal to BRL 10 20% 2.    Microtransactions in which the currency used in the purchase is different from the one used to pay commissions

 

  1. In this scenario, the transaction amount is converted into US Dollars (USD) for the calculations. This way, regardless of the currency used in the product price, if the commission amount is less than or equal to 5 USD, it will have a 20% fee applied.

Note: in all scenarios, the amount considered for calculation does not include taxes and interest.

●  Hotmart fee applied to General Transactions

 

  • General transactions are those that involve a higher value than those characterized as microtransactions. The rules for these transactions are defined according to the currency of the commission.

Currency used for Purchase and Commission

Hotmart Fee USD
9.9% + USD 0.50 EUR
9.9% + EUR 0.50 GBP
9.9% + GBP 0.50 BRL
9.9% + BRL 0.50 Withdrawal fee

 

When you withdraw a commission, you'll be charged a fee that depends on the amount you want to withdraw.

To cover banking fees, a withdrawal fee will be charged to your Hotmart balance. This will happen every time you withdraw your commission.

Hotmart Video Player Activation Fee

 

In addition to the fees applied to transactions as listed above, those who make use of the Hotmart Video Player on a product, pay an activation fee for each approved sale of that product.

● For one-time payment products: the amount of BRL 2.49 will be discounted from each approved sale;

    • ● For subscription products: the amount of BRL 2.49 will be discounted from the first recurring payment and BRL 0.50 from the other recurrences (starting from the second recurrence).
    • ● For products sold in a bundle: the Video Player activation fee will be multiplied by two, so in the first transaction the fee will be BRL 4.99 and, for the next recurring payments, the fee is BRL 1.00 for each installment.
