Requests containing incomplete or inaccurate information may be ignored or fail without notice.


6. Payment Terms (Pay After Success)

6.3 PAS Pricing & Market Adjustments

PAS pricing is dynamic and may change at any time due to:

  • Market demand

  • Product scarcity

  • Retailer behavior

  • Checkout difficulty

  • Operational risk or cost

Past PAS rates do not establish precedent.

The applicable PAS fee is the rate disclosed at the time the invoice is issued or otherwise communicated for that checkout.

6.4 Nonpayment & Enforcement

If payment is not received within 48 hours of the Invoice Reminder:

  • User-requested cancellations are subject to retailer policies
