Billing & invoices
What we charge you, and what you charge merchants.

| Charge | When | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| App publishing fee | A version is published | Live only |
Charges appear in Billing with status, amount, currency and the related app version. Every charge is idempotent — a retried publish never double-charges.
Money flowing to you
Merchant payments for paid apps are collected by spuke, aggregated per developer and settled through payout cycles. Your Earnings view shows gross, refunds, reversals and net per period.
Refunds and reversals
If a merchant is refunded after your earnings were counted, the amount is reversed in the next cycle. A negative balance carries forward and is netted against future earnings.
Taxes
You are responsible for your own tax treatment. Invoices carry the spuke legal entity, your organization details and the VAT/tax identifiers on file. Keep your billing address and tax id current — invoices are issued from that data automatically.
Failed payment methods
If the publishing fee cannot be charged, the version stays approved but unpublished and you are notified. Fix the payment method and retry from the app's overview.
