# Price Change August 2024 (NOT Throughput fee)

### Pricing Structure

Due to significant economic changes and our continued investment in platform improvements, we need to adjust our pricing. Effective September 1, 2024, your monthly fee will increase by 9%.

### Introducing the Default Monthly Payment Amount (DMPA)

We're also introducing a Default Monthly Payment Amount (DMPA) of \*300. This ensures that we can continue to provide our services even during slower months for our customers. Here's how it works:

* If your monthly revenue is \*83,333 or more, you'll be charged 0.36% of your revenue.
* If your monthly revenue is less than \*83,333, you'll be charged the DMPA of \*300.
* Where \* = your local currency.

### Reasons for the Price Adjustment

1. **Economic Climate:** The cumulative inflation rate from July 2022 to July 2024 is approximately 7.5%.
2. **Rising Infrastructure Costs**: The costs associated with AWS hosting, server upgrades, and software licenses have increased significantly.
3. **24/7 Support:** We have implemented round-the-clock support for our server infrastructure to ensure you receive uninterrupted service.
4. **Increased Staff Costs:** Attracting and retaining top talent has necessitated an increase in our staff costs. The average salary increase in the tech sector has been around 4-5% annually.

### Continued Investment in Platform Value
