Payout Developer Guide - ONE-store/inapp-sdk-eng GitHub Wiki
If you have published a paid app or an in-app, you can check sales details and download statistics and a series of payment information, including payout and payment, in the [Payment] menu.
- You can view the current month’s sales (units sold/sales), payment status and bank account information for payment.
- The current month’s amount owed (to you) is calculated by subtracting (Deductions + Commission + Adjustments + Backdating) from Sales. That means the monthly amount owed might be somewhat different from the actual monthly sales.
- If any error or problem occurs in the account information and automatic payment, the payment in the corresponding month will be made in the following month.
- Regardless of the payment methods, monthly sales will be settled in the middle of the following month, and the payment will be made at the end of the month.
If You Are Overseas Developer,
-
Monthly sales will be settled in the middle of the following month, and payment will be made in the early of M+2.
-
The FX rate we use at ONE store is the basic rate of exchange initially announced by the Korea Exchange Bank on the 1st of the month following the sales month.
-
If we are required to collect withholding taxes arising from the sale of the apps in accordance with the tax treaties signed among countries, we deduct the applicable taxes from the amount payable and send them to the government agency.
- For more detail on the taxes, including withholding taxes, please refer to ‘Taxes’ clause of this document.
-
If any error or problem occurs in the account information and automatic payment, the payment in the corresponding month will fail.
-
If the Korean financial market is closed on the 1st of each month, the basic rate of exchange of the trading day right before the closing day is used as our FX rate.
