In reply to Marco.

Hi, Marco. Since we integrated with Stripe Connect last year, we did add a 1% fee on top of transactions processed through unlicensed PMPro sites. It should be pretty clear by the notifications in our settings and docs on our site that those fees are waived for paying members and there is even a single line of code you can add to your site to waive the fees without a paid license.

We put off integrating with Stripe Connect or charging these fees for a couple years, but in that time it became a standard practice among WP plugins (even some owned or invested in by Awesome Motive) and so we’ve adopted it. The fees we collect this way help to fund development and the maintenance of the server we need to run to facilitate the Stripe Connect process.

If anyone needs help to waive that fee, reach out to the PMPro contact form and they will help you.
