Managing Wallets

How fee collection works

  • Transaction fees generated by merchant activity are accumulated internally
  • Fees are not deducted in real time from every transaction
  • Instead, fees are settled periodically

Weekly fee settlement

  • Fees are transferred to the Admin Wallet
  • Settlement occurs once per week
  • Every Saturday, accumulated fees are moved to the Admin Wallet

This process ensures:

  • Predictable fee accounting
  • Clean merchant balance visibility
  • Simplified reconciliation

Impact on merchant balances

  • Merchant dashboards show gross transaction amounts
  • Fees are accounted for separately
  • Weekly fee settlement does not affect transaction status
  • Fee transfers are operational and do not require merchant action

Merchants do not need to initiate or approve fee transfers.


Transparency & reconciliation

Fee settlement records are:

  • Logged internally by 3PAY
  • Traceable via transaction references
  • Reflected in merchant reporting where applicable

If merchants require a breakdown of fees, this is handled through reports or support, not wallet actions.

Important notes

  • The Admin Wallet is owned and controlled by 3PAY
  • Merchants cannot withdraw from or interact with the Admin Wallet
  • Fee settlement timing (weekly on Saturday) is fixed unless otherwise communicated
  • Fee transfers are not refunds, payouts, or withdrawals
