Fees & Pricing

Transaction fee guidance and fee-direction setup instructions for merchants using AfroPays.

Pricing Model

AfroPays applies a transaction fee to supported payment flows.

Merchants can configure the fee direction so the fee is charged fully to the merchant, fully to the customer, or split by percentage between both sides.

Final applied settings are managed from your dashboard fee direction configuration.

Configure Fee Direction

  1. 1

    Log In to the Dashboard

    Sign in from https://merchant.prod.afropays.co/auth/login.

  2. 2

    Open the Fee Direction Page

    From the dashboard, go to the Fee Direction page where transaction fee behavior is configured.

  3. 3

    Configure Deposit and Withdrawal Rules

    Add fee direction settings for both deposit and withdrawal based on how you want fees to be handled.

    A 100% merchant setting means the merchant pays the fee. A 100% customer setting means the customer incurs the full fee. You can also adjust the percentages to split the fee between both sides.
