​
Overview

When making transactions on Solara Pay, two types of fees may apply:

  • Disbursement Fee – A fee applied when sending payments to recipients.
  • Gas Fee – A network fee required to process transactions on the Solana blockchain.

Understanding these fees ensures transparency in costs and helps users optimize their transactions.

​
Disbursement Fees

​
What is a Disbursement Fee?

A disbursement fee is charged when sending funds to one or multiple recipients through Solara Pay. This fee is separate from the Solana gas fee.

​
How is the Disbursement Fee Calculated?

  • The Disbursement Fee is fixed,we currently take 0.20 USDC per transaction.

​
Where Can I See the Disbursement Fee?

  • We have a section in the Wallet page that display the current Disbursement fee charged by Solara Pay

​
Gas Fees

​
What is a Gas Fee?

A gas fee is required for executing transactions on the Solana blockchain. Since Solana uses a Proof-of-History (PoH) & Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, gas fees are significantly lower than many other blockchains.

​
How Gas Fees Work on Solara Pay

  • Network transactions (such as sending SOL, USDC) require gas fees.
  • The fee is paid in SOL and is automatically deducted from the disbursement’s balance.
  • Unlike disbursement fees, gas fees are set by the Solana network and may fluctuate based on blockchain activity.

​
How Much is the Gas Fee?

Solana gas fees are typically fractions of a cent (e.g., 0.000005 SOL per transaction). However, fees may increase slightly during high network congestion and if the receiver have a USDC Token Account.

​
Conclusion

Understanding disbursement fees and gas fees helps users plan transactions effectively while keeping costs low. Solara Pay ensures transparent fee structures so users always know what to expect before making payments.
