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
