Partner fees

Developers who integrate with Lexe SDK can earn fees by facilitating payments for their users—without taking custody of user funds. This page explains how partner fees work and how revenue is shared.

All rates listed here may change in the future.

Overview

A partner fee is a percentage you charge on payments through your integration. You set the total fee; Lexe splits the revenue with you according to a tiered schedule.

Partner fees can be applied to both inbound and outbound payments and are defined per-request.

Details

• Minimum: 0.50% of the payment amount
• Network routing fees are separate (typically 0.075%)

Revenue share schedule

Partner fees are split according to the following schedule:

Higher fee tiers give partners a larger share of the revenue.
