Questions

Platform fee FAQs

What is Cyntree's transaction fee?

The current Cyntree platform fee is 1.5%. It is paid by the client at checkout, so the business is not charged this fee by Cyntree. The booking price remains the business's own charge.

Is this the same as Stripe, Paystack, or Flutterwave fees?

No. Payment-provider fees are separate business costs. Cyntree's platform fee is collected from the client as part of the booking total.

Who pays the Cyntree platform fee?

The client pays it. They see it in the booking payment summary before checkout is completed.

Why compare against payment processors and booking tools?

Most payment and booking tools show a headline rate, a per-transaction charge, or a plan table. Cyntree keeps the client-paid platform fee simple and easy to estimate.
