# Pricing

> 10 free transactions, then a flat 1% fee. No hidden charges, no custody of your funds.

## Simple, transparent pricing

Blockonomics charges a **flat 1% fee per transaction** on Bitcoin received through our services — plugins, API, or widget. That's it.

|                     | Amount                    |
| ------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Free transactions   | First 10 (API trial)      |
| Fee per transaction | 1% of BTC received        |
| Monthly minimum     | Rolled over if under \$10 |
| Setup fee           | None                      |
| Withdrawal fee      | None                      |
| Hidden charges      | None                      |

<Info>
  **Non-custodial means we never touch your revenue.** The 1% fee is billed separately at the end of the month — it is never deducted from your incoming payments.

## Fees explained

When a customer pays your store, the full payment goes directly to your wallet. Blockonomics records a 1% fee against that transaction and adds it to your monthly bill.

**Example:** You receive 0.25 BTC across several transactions in a month. Your bill at the end of the month is 0.0025 BTC (1%).

### Why non-custodial matters

Many payment processors advertise "zero fees" but take commissions of 3–5% by manipulating the BTC exchange rate before forwarding your funds. Because Blockonomics is non-custodial:

* We have no financial incentive to manipulate the exchange rate
* Your funds arrive instantly — no forwarding delays
* Even if our servers were compromised, your Bitcoin cannot be stolen

## Billing system

Blockonomics generates a monthly bill on the **1st of each month** covering the previous month's transactions.

| Date          | Event                            |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- |
| 1st of month  | Bill generated, email sent       |
| 10th of month | Payment due                      |
| 20th and 28th | Reminder emails if unpaid        |
| End of month  | Account disabled if still unpaid |

<Note>
  If your monthly bill is under \*\*$10**, it rolls over to the next month automatically. You won't be charged until the accumulated balance reaches $10.
</Note>

### How to pay your bill

Blockonomics uses a **Credit Balance** system. You top up your credit balance in advance by sending BTC to the address shown on your [Billing page](https://www.blockonomics.co/dashboard#/billing). When a bill is generated, it's deducted automatically.

**Steps to pay:**

1. Go to [Dashboard → Billing](https://www.blockonomics.co/dashboard#/billing)
2. Scan the QR code with any Bitcoin wallet, or copy the address
3. Send at least the bill amount (or top up in advance)

### How much to load?

At minimum, load the amount of your current bill. To pre-pay future bills, remember: at 1% fee, **$10 of credit covers $1,000 in revenue**.

<Warning>
  Credit balance is **not withdrawable**. Only load what you expect to use. See our [terms and conditions](https://www.blockonomics.co/privacy#cbterms) for details.
</Warning>

### What happens if I miss the payment deadline?

Your account remains active until the end of the month. After that, it enters a **disabled state** — no new payments can be received until the overdue bill is paid. Once you pay, your account reactivates automatically.

## Common questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I try Blockonomics for free?">
    Yes. Every account gets **10 free transactions** to test any of our plugins or the API before the 1% fee kicks in. No credit card required.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the 1% fee apply to personal wallet payments?">
    Unfortunately, Blockonomics cannot distinguish between merchant and personal payments to a linked wallet. We recommend using a dedicated wallet for your Blockonomics store and a separate wallet for personal use. If you were charged for personal transactions, [contact support](https://blockonomics.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new) with the tx IDs for a refund.
