Commissions and fees on ZebraSnap

At a glance

When an athlete buys one of your photos, two things happen:

ZebraSnap keeps a percentage (your commission) based on your plan.
Stripe charges a payment-processing fee that's also deducted from the sale.

The rest lands in your Stripe Connect account and is transferred to your bank on the payout schedule you picked.

Lower your commission

If you sell often, upgrading pays for itself by lowering your commission. On the highest tier you keep over 90% of every sale in most scenarios.

No commission with BYOP

If you're in a Stripe-supported country (like Brazil), you can connect your own Stripe account instead and keep 100% of every sale — ZebraSnap takes no commission. You become the merchant of record and pay a higher subscription instead of a per-sale cut, with a 15-day free trial to try it first.

FAQ

Why is there a Stripe fee? Because the payment processor charges to accept credit cards, debit cards, and other payment methods. Every photo-selling platform pays it; we show it separately so you can see exactly where every cent goes.

Why does the fee change with the currency? ZebraSnap operates in US dollars by default, so if you charge in another currency Stripe adds a small conversion fee. Accounts in Mexico operate in Mexican pesos (MXN); there, conversion only applies if you sell in another currency.
