Querying Transaction Fees

Different fees apply to our various methods. Understanding your transaction fees can help you in choosing the right method for your payment.

Follow these instructions to query fees before initiating a payment:

1. Encrypt the fee query request. This request should contain the payment type and transaction amount.
2. Send the encrypted request to the fetch fee endpoint.

Use these sample to guide your fee query
