What we charge, in full

Most platforms make you find this out later. Here is everything, on one page — the rate, the cap, the floor, what happens on a refund, and the things we never charge for.

The rate is the whole fee. It already contains what the bank and the card scheme take — we do not itemise their cut back to you and then add ours — and it drops as you move up a plan.

Prices include the combined VAT, NHIL and GETFund levy. The number you see is the number you pay.

Who pays the fee

Your customer does, by default. That is how this market already prices, and it means the number you quote is the number that reaches your wallet. Switch to absorbing it whenever you like — for everything, or just for international cards.

Added at checkoutDefault
The customer sees ₦10,000 + ₦200 fee = ₦10,200, itemised. Honest, and it keeps your price comparable to everyone else's. This is the default.
Built into your prices
Your catalogue prices are grossed up so the price shown is the price paid. Better for a storefront, and for a menu where a clean number matters. The fee still appears on the receipt as a component — never hidden.
Small orders
Set an amount below which you absorb the fee yourself. A ₦50 floor on a ₦300 sachet order is a 17% surcharge and your customer will notice, so this is worth switching on if you sell a lot of small things.

Passing the fee on card payments is restricted by card-scheme rules in some markets, so it stays switched off until our lawyers confirm it here. Transfer and mobile money are not affected.

When your money lands
Money is in your wallet the moment a payment settles. Withdrawals to your bank land the same day.
The fee you were quoted is the fee you pay
It is fixed at the moment the order is priced. If we change a rate afterwards, an order you already took is unaffected.

If we change a fee

We tell you thirty days before it takes effect, in writing, and this page carries the date it last changed. A fee schedule you have to discover is not a fee schedule.

Published, because you should not have to ask.
