InAppify

External revenue and the MTR fee

A simple guide to monthly store and personal-gateway revenue, the MTR free threshold, and the InAppify MTR fee

MTR in plain language

In the dashboard, MTR means the total successful transaction value recognized by InAppify during a month. For store purchases, the recorded amount is based on the product price configured in InAppify after any package discount, not the amount that the store eventually pays out to the developer.

Refunds and reconciliation adjustments affect the amount used for the fee:

Calculation
Net MTR = successful sales - refunds + adjustments

Here, “net” only means that refunds and adjustments have been applied. It does not mean net developer proceeds after the app store deducts its commission.

What enters external MTR?

  • successful Iranian-store purchases;
  • successful foreign-store purchases;
  • successful personal IRR gateway payments;
  • successful personal USD gateway payments.

Shared InAppify gateway payments are excluded because the InAppify share is calculated in that payment's settlement flow.

How does a store purchase enter MTR?

InAppify cannot reliably calculate every store's commission rate or final payout. Store contracts, commissions, taxes, and other deductions may differ and may not be available to InAppify. Therefore, purchases from Cafe Bazaar, Myket, and other stores enter MTR using the recorded product sale price.

For example, assume a product costs 100,000 toman, equivalent to 1,000,000 IRR:

  • Product price: 100,000 toman
  • Example store share at 15%: 15,000 toman
  • Developer proceeds from the store: 85,000 toman
  • Amount recorded in InAppify MTR: 100,000 toman

In this example, the store keeps 15% of the purchase. Because that commission belongs to the agreement and settlement between the store and the developer, InAppify does not deduct it from MTR. The MTR basis is therefore the 100,000 toman sale price, not the developer's 85,000 toman proceeds.

When do you pay the fee?

The current IRR rule has two cases.

Net MTR is at most 200 million IRR

The MTR fee is zero.

Calculation
Net MTR: 180,000,000 IRR
MTR fee: 0 IRR

Net MTR is above 200 million IRR

The 3% rate applies to all net MTR.

Calculation
Net MTR: 230,000,000 IRR
MTR fee: 230,000,000 × 3%
MTR fee: 6,900,000 IRR

How do refunds affect it?

Assume successful sales of 270,000,000 IRR, refunds of 30,000,000 IRR, and a negative adjustment of 10,000,000 IRR:

Calculation
Net MTR = 270,000,000 - 30,000,000 - 10,000,000
Net MTR = 230,000,000 IRR
Fee = 6,900,000 IRR

The 6,900,000 IRR fee becomes a monthly invoice item.

Important details

  • Calculation follows Jalali months and the Tehran timezone.
  • During the period, the dashboard number is an estimate that can change with new transactions or refunds.
  • After finalization, that period's MTR summary is immutable.
  • Entries keep their original currency. The current billable rule is IRR, and USD is not automatically converted.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is external MTR?

It is the successful transaction value recorded from stores and personal gateways, minus refunds and plus or minus adjustments for the period. Store commissions are not deducted from this amount.

Are Cafe Bazaar or Myket commissions deducted from MTR?

No. InAppify does not have a reliable source for every store's commission or final payout, so store MTR uses the configured product price after any package discount.

Is InAppify gateway revenue included in external MTR?

No. Shared InAppify gateway payments follow a separate settlement calculation.

Is the 3% charged only on the amount above the threshold?

No. The fee is zero through the threshold, but after crossing it the 3% rate applies to all net MTR for the period.
