The effects due to soft-photon emission (and the related virtual corrections) in multi-body decays of B, D, and K mesons are analyzed. We present analytic expressions for the universal 
correction factors which can be applied to all multi-body decay modes where a tight soft-photon energy cut in the decaying-particle rest frame is applied. All-order resummations valid in the limit of small and large velocities of the final-state particles are also discussed. The phenomenological implications of these correction factors in the distortion of Dalitz plot distributions of K→3π decays are briefly analyzed.
