Partner Commissions
Become a Cashfree Payments partner, offer payment solutions to your merchants, and earn a commission for every transaction their customers make. Commission charges are additional fees on the invoice raised by the customer, either as a flat amount or percentage of the transaction value. You need to create an invoice to receive the earned commission every month.
How does it work?
For Payment Gateway collections: your commission reflects on your partner dashboard when a customer makes a transaction on your referred merchant’s website/app and the amount is settled to Cashfree Payments.
For Payouts disbursals: your commission reflects on your partner dashboard when your referred merchant makes a payout to vendor payments, processing refunds, disbursing loans, etc., using Cashfree Payments.
Calculate Commissions
Commissions are calculated in two ways:
- Flat rate
- Percentage of the transaction amount
Commission as a flat rate
Flat rate pricing involves charging a fixed rate for a transaction. It does not alter or fluctuate regardless of the transaction amount.
For example, let us say you are an e-commerce automation platform, and you help e-commerce businesses in converting COD orders to pre-paid. You have offered Cashfree's Payment Gateway to one of your clients, ABC Ltd., at a markup of ₹100 over Cashfree’s base rate of 3% (the minimum amount that goes to Cashfree Payments). Here is the calculation for the transaction that ABC Ltd. collected ₹10,000 using Cashfree Payments.
| Transaction Amount (A) | Cashfree's Charge (Base rate) (B) | Your Markup (C) | GST (D) | Total Amount Paid by your Client |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10,000 | 3% (10,000*3%) = ₹300 | ₹100 | (300+100)*18% = ₹72 | B+C+D = ₹472 |
Commission as a percentage of the transaction amount
Percentage pricing involves charging a specific percentage for a transaction.
For example, let us say you have offered Cashfree’s payment gateway to ABC Ltd. at a markup of 1% instead of INR 100 over Cashfree’s base rate of 3% (the minimum amount that goes to Cashfree Payments).
| Transaction Amount (A) | Cashfree's Charge (Base rate) (B) | Your Markup (C) | GST (D) | Total Amount Paid by your Client |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹10,000 | 3% (10,000*3%) = ₹300 | 1% (10,000*1%) = ₹100 | (300+100)*18% = ₹72 | B+C+D = ₹472 |
