{
  "amount": 50,  // $0.50 in cents

  "amount": 49,  // Too low
  "currency": "usd"
}

Minimum Withdrawal

Refund Fees

When a payment is refunded:
  1. Customer receives full refund ($100.00)
  2. Platform fee is returned to your balance ($15.00)
  3. Your net balance change is $0
You’re only out the amount you received ($85), not the full payment amount.

Failed Payments

No fees charged for failed or declined payments. You only pay the 15% fee when a payment successfully completes.

Withdrawal Fees

Bitcoin (BTC)

No platform fee for withdrawals. You only pay the blockchain network fee (variable based on network congestion). Typical network fee: 11-5 depending on Bitcoin network conditions

Litecoin (LTC)

No platform fee for withdrawals. You only pay the blockchain network fee (variable based on network congestion). Typical network fee: 0.010.01-0.50 depending on Litecoin network conditions

Why Litecoin May Be Better

For smaller withdrawals, Litecoin often makes more sense:
Bitcoin withdrawal:
  Balance: $100.00
  Network fee: ~$3.00
  You receive: ~$97.00 (97%)

Litecoin withdrawal:
  Balance: $100.00
  Network fee: ~$0.10
  You receive: ~$99.90 (99.9%)
