Tip

Tip: Set Specific Parameters for Each Group

Due to the wide range of referrer and merchant business types, it is recommended we recommend that you set fee groups, billing groups, and withdrawal settings groups on a per-referrer basis. This reduces missed fee collection opportunities for merchants and referrers whose business models may might not trigger a generalized " fee " in all cases.

For more information about setting fees, withdrawals, and billing within a group, visit the see Set Up a Group use case.
