Mark-up

Earn markup commission on every contract your users execute when they trade via your Deriv API app or platform.

If you build a platform that allows users to trade using Deriv APIs, you can earn up to 5% markup commission for a limited time on every contract your users execute.

Example

Let's say a user places a $10 stake, and the potential payout without any markup is $17.20 if the trade wins.

If you set a 2% markup, your commission will be calculated on the potential payout:

2% of $17.20 = $0.34

With this adjusted stake, the user's new potential payout becomes: $16.63

Another example

• Stake: USD 25.50
• Payout: USD 50
• Markup: 2% of USD 50 = USD 1
• Client balance debited: USD 26.50
