The fee field allows Pretium to collect fees on your behalf.

​
Example

If your UI charges a 1% facilitation fee and a user wants to offramp KES 1,000 (resulting in a KES 10 fee):

​
Steps

  1. Deduct the equivalent of KES 1,010 from the user’s wallet.
  2. Submit the following parameters in your API request:
Pretium’s payment protocol will send KES 1,000 to the user and credit KES 10 to your fiat wallet.

​
Onramp

The reverse applies during onramping — if User B wants to onramp KES 1,000 and you include a fee of 10, Pretium API will initiate a collection of KES 1,010 from the user, credit KES 10 to your fiat wallet upon confirmation, and release assets equivalent to KES 1,000 to the user’s address.

​
Where to send fee

Include fee (optional number) on money-moving requests such as:
  • POST /v1/pay/{currency} and POST /v1/onramp/{currency} — Offramp / Onramp
amount is the gross amount (recipient + fee). fee is the portion credited to your partner fiat wallet.
