Allows merchants to generate additional revenue by applying a flexible, custom markup to their submerchants’ transactions, with WePayments’ fees charged separately for different payment methods and transaction types.

Business Rules

Important Restrictions:
  • This feature launches in January 2026

Configuration Levels (Scopes)

Merchants can configure markup at three different levels of priority:

Global (Merchant Level)

The merchant defines a markup that will be applied to all charges from all submerchants.

By Submerchant

Coming Soon: This feature will be available soon. Stay tuned for updates!
The merchant can define specific markups for each individual submerchant.

Inline in Request (By Charge or Payment)

When creating a charge or payment, the merchant can send a specific markup object. Priority Rule: The inline markup configuration takes priority over all other markup settings.
If there is no specific configuration → the global markup is applied when merchant has the markup feature enabled.

Markup Types

Fixed

The same fixed markup value is applied to all charges/payments, regardless of the transaction amount.

Percentage

The markup value is calculated as a percentage of the charge/payment amount. This type includes delimiter fields to define a valid range for the final markup amount:
  • min_charge_value: The minimum markup amount to be charged.
  • max_charge_value: The maximum markup amount to be charged.

Percentage Calculation Logic

  1. The system calculates the raw percentage value (transaction_amount * percentage).
  2. If the calculated value is less than min_charge_value, the min_charge_value is applied.
  3. Else if the calculated value is greater than max_charge_value, the max_charge_value is applied.
  4. Otherwise, the exact calculated value is applied.
