💲Fee & Pricing
Fees and Pricing
Paymento has no monthly fee or monthly minimum. Standard fees are charged only when a payment is successfully completed.
The amount charged depends on the wallet method selected for the store.
Your current rates and account balance are displayed in the Paymento merchant panel. If your account has custom pricing, the rates shown in your panel apply.

Bring Your Own Wallet fees
Bring Your Own Wallet stores pay:
0.5% per successful payment
Payments arrive directly in the external wallet configured by the merchant. Because no Embedded Wallet settlement is required, there is no settlement network fee.
There is no:
Monthly subscription
Embedded Wallet infrastructure fee
Settlement fee
Additional Bring Your Own Wallet store fee
Standard blockchain transaction fees paid by the customer or merchant outside Paymento remain the responsibility of the party initiating that transaction.
Embedded Wallet fees
Embedded Wallet stores pay:
0.5% + $0.20 per successful payment
The percentage is Paymento’s payment-processing fee. The fixed $0.20 covers the secure Embedded Wallet infrastructure used for that payment.
The first Embedded Wallet store is included. Each additional Embedded Wallet store costs $10 one-time.
This is a one-time store-creation fee, not a monthly subscription.
Example payment fees
For a successful payment worth $100:
Bring Your Own Wallet
$0.50

Blockchain network fees may apply separately when settling Embedded Wallet funds.
When fees are charged
Paymento fees are charged from your Paymento account balance rather than deducted from the cryptocurrency received from the customer.
This means:
The customer sends the requested crypto amount.
The payment arrives in the merchant-controlled wallet.
Paymento records the applicable service fee against the merchant’s Paymento balance.
Standard processing fees apply only to successful payments. Failed and expired payments are not charged.
Partial payments, overpayments, refunds, and manually accepted payments may follow their applicable billing rules as shown in the merchant panel or relevant payment documentation.
Free credit
New Paymento accounts receive $15 in free credit.
For Bring Your Own Wallet payments, a $15 credit can cover approximately $3,000 in successful payment volume at the standard 0.5% rate.
For Embedded Wallet payments, the credit covers both:
The 0.5% processing fee
The $0.20 Embedded Wallet infrastructure fee
Because the $0.20 fee applies to every successful Embedded Wallet payment, the total payment volume covered by the credit depends on the number and size of payments.
Free credit does not cover:
Blockchain settlement network fees
Additional Embedded Wallet store fees
Charges from external wallets, exchanges, or third-party services
Free credit has no cash value and cannot be withdrawn.
Embedded Wallet settlement fees
Embedded Wallet funds remain in the merchant-controlled store wallet until the merchant authorizes settlement.
Settlement creates one or more blockchain transactions. The relevant blockchain charges network fees for processing those transactions.
Paymento:
Estimates the required network cost.
Displays the applicable information during settlement.
Funds the blockchain transaction where supported.
Deducts the actual network cost from the merchant’s Paymento balance.
Settlement network fees:
Vary by blockchain and network conditions
Are separate from Paymento’s processing fee
Are paid to the blockchain network
Are not covered by free credit
Are not required for Bring Your Own Wallet stores
You must maintain a sufficient Paymento balance to cover the expected network cost before starting settlement.
See Embedded Wallet Settlement for details.
Paymento account balance
