1. Every fee, in order

Sign-up, monthly, per sale, per payout and for getting your money out.

2. How to leave

Can you take your customers and data with you, and what does cancelling cost?

3. When things go wrong

Late payment, a locked account, a dispute. Who decides, and how long it takes.

Disclosure rule. If a company pays for, supplies or sponsors anything reviewed here, the first line of that page says so. This sample has none: it is not real.
