Compared with a card processor
The fee difference matters, but it is rarely the reason merchants move. The rows below it usually are.
| Settle | Card processor | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform fee | 0% during launch | 2.9% + $0.30 |
| Payout timing | Seconds, on-chain | 2–7 business days |
| Who holds the funds | You — always | The processor |
| Chargeback risk | None — transfers are final | Up to 120 days |
| Account freezes | Not possible — no custody | At processor discretion |
| Rolling reserve | None | Common for new accounts |
| Country coverage | Anywhere with a wallet | Roughly 46 countries |
Pricing questions
- What does 0% actually mean?
- Settle takes nothing from the payment. A $100 invoice settles $100 into your wallet. The only cost is the network fee the sender pays to broadcast the transfer, which on Base is typically a fraction of a cent.
- What happens when launch pricing ends?
- Any change is announced in advance and published here before it takes effect. Payments you have already taken are never repriced retroactively.
- Are there limits on volume or number of links?
- No. Public endpoints are rate limited to protect platform stability, but there is no cap on volume, payment links, products, or customers.
- Do I need a business entity to start?
- No. You need a wallet address and an email. Whether your own jurisdiction requires you to register a business to trade is your call, not a platform restriction.
- Is there a fee to receive on a particular chain?
- Settle charges nothing on any chain. Network fees differ by chain and are paid by the sender — which is why Base and Solana are the common defaults.
