Your side
Your payouts
Moonbase buys your sales and pays you the net. Every payout comes with a self-billed invoice and a line-by-line report, ready for your bookkeeping.
- Self-billed invoice
- A PDF per payout and per currency, attached to the email that tells you the payout was sent.
- Line-by-line report
- A CSV of every sale, refund and fee in the payout.
- Reverse charge
- Merchants outside Norway get a reverse-charge invoice. Norwegian merchants registered for MVA get 25% MVA added to the payout.
- Paid on the 15th
- Sales settle in EUR or USD. Monthly payouts go out on the 15th of the next month, converted at mid-market rates if needed.
Moonbase's fees come off each sale before it reaches your payout, and every payout invoice itemises them. See the rates on the pricing page.
“As a solo indie dev, Moonbase has been one of the most valuable tools in my entire stack. I honestly don't know how I would've launched my plugin business without it.”
