Earning commission

You can earn commission on trades and payments your clients perform via the websites and apps you create with Deriv API. Get more details about the commission plans here.

Markup

You can also earn from markups on every contract purchased via a trading app you created with Deriv API. The markup is defined by you and can be up to 5%.

Here is an example of how the markup is calculated.

To get a payout of 2 USD:

  • Client stake without markup = 1.07 USD

With the markup (e.g. 2%), a client pays:

  • Client's stake with the markup = Stake + (payout x markup)
  • Client's stake with the markup = 1.07 USD + (2 USD x 2%) = 1.11 USD
