We wanted to share an important update regarding purchases made through Stripe.
Some users may now see additional charges related to digital goods taxes. We know this is frustrating, and honestly, we feel the same way. Our prices themselves have not changed since 2021, and we’ve worked hard to keep them stable for as long as possible.
Apple and Google have already applied these same types of taxes to App Store and Google Play purchases for some time. Web purchases through Stripe still provide a better overall value in terms of Atlas Bucks.
These taxes are determined and collected based on local laws and regulations. They are not fees set by us, and they’re not something we can opt out of or control.
We understand that any increase in total cost impacts our community, and we truly appreciate your continued support and understanding as we navigate these requirements together.
