Developer Payment Policy
Effective Date: April 21, 2025
1. General Payment Model
devcryptogate.com (the "Platform") resells Digital Products to Buyers and purchases them from Developers at a discounted rate as agreed.
Examples of Digital Products include:
- Software product licenses
- Subscriptions to software or services
- Entitlements to receive related services
Blockchain network fees associated with outgoing payouts are the responsibility of the Developer.
Developers can configure payout frequency, minimum payout thresholds, and preferred currencies to balance transaction costs and payment timing.
2. Example Without Currency Conversion
Terms:
- The Developer agrees to a 5% discount.
- Product price set: 100 USDT.
- Buyer pays: 100 USDT.

- Blockchain network fee: 2 USDT.
- Final payout: 93 USDT.
Invoice Breakdown:
- Developer product price: 95 USDT
- Network fee: 2 USDT
- Payout: 93 USDT
Developer Accounting:

3. Example With Currency Conversion

- Product price: 100 USDT.
- Buyer pays 0.04 ETH (rate at purchase: 2500 USDT/ETH).
- At conversion time, rate drops to 2000 USDT/ETH.
Calculation:
- Platform effectively receives: 80 USDT.
- Developer price (5% discount): 76 USDT.
- Network fee: 2 USDT.
- Payout: 74 USDT.
Invoice Breakdown:

- Developer price: 76 USDT
- Network fee: 2 USDT
4. Currency Risk
Cryptocurrency exchange rates are volatile and may change between Buyer payment and payout conversion.
The Platform does not compensate for these fluctuations.
Developers can mitigate risk by:
- Disabling selected currencies in account settings.
- Applying a price multiplier (e.g., 1.1) to volatile tokens.
- Setting a fixed fee per currency to cover swap-related volatility.
5. Conditions for Currency Conversion
The Platform performs conversion when all of the following apply:
- Refund risk is sufficiently low.
- The transaction passes AML screening.
- The accumulated amount justifies swap execution.
Example:
- 10 payments of 100 USDT → 1000 USDT.
- Swap fee for one transaction: 2 USDT (0.2%).
- Swapping each individually: 2 USDT × 10 = 20 USDT (2%).
The Platform aggregates payments to optimize conversion costs and timing under its internal policy.
6. Payout Currency Options
The Developer may choose to:
- Receive payouts in a fixed currency (e.g., USDT), or
- Receive payouts in the same currency paid by the Buyer.
Currency risk remains in either case.
Example:
- Buyer pays 0.04 ETH = 100 USDT (at 2500 USDT/ETH).
- After 5% discount, Developer receives 0.038 ETH.
- If ETH later drops to 2000 USDT/ETH, value = 76 USDT.
7. Final Invoice Summary
Each invoice will include:
- Currency and amount paid by the Buyer
- Exchange rate (if applicable)
- Developer product price
- Blockchain network fee
- Total payout
The Platform reserves the right to modify the payout calculation model in accordance with the Developer Agreement.
