Pricing for receiving payments
Updated 30 months ago
Flutterwave charges a transaction fee on every payment processed depending on your country/region and where your customer is paying from. If your customer makes payment in a currency other than your local currency, it is regarded as an international payment for settlement & pricing
For Nigerian merchants, please note that all transactions made with a Naira card will be settled in Naira irrespective of the currency you are purchasing in. This is to comply with the dollarisation policy in Nigeria.
All local Naira payments have a maximum transaction fee of NGN 2,000. This means we won't charge you more than NGN 2,000 for a Naira transaction regardless of how much it is.
The table below shows the breakdown of transaction fees for different countries and regions.
