You can set up fees for first-time Merchants boarding to your platform. Referrers can assess a one-time platform boarding fee to Merchants, or Facilitators can assess Referrers a fee each time they board a new Merchant to help cover the costs of underwriting and third-party risk analysis. This tutorial walks you through the steps to create a new Merchant boarding fee.
