Take Charge Of Each Transaction
For apps that facilitate money between two parties—a buyer and a seller or a user and a business—charging for the coordination of that payment is the app’s way of being compensated for their service. Service fees, convenience fees and processing fees have many names but they all have to do with the bottom line. Because your business has spent a lot of time, money and energy building an innovative application, Dwolla has done the same to enable a facilitator fee feature within Dwolla’s ACH payment API that allows a business to set up a flat rate fee for a transaction between two parties.

Dwolla customers that use the Scale & Enterprise plans will have access to the facilitator fee functionality upon integrating with Dwolla’s ACH payment API. Enabling this functionality would happen with an additional line of code to an API call and is something that would need to be considered upon integrating.
When charging a facilitator fee, applications must clearly communicate the fee and its payment terms to each end user at the point of sale/time of transaction. Luckily, Dwolla can send these communications on your behalf or provide a template for each communication in order to meet requirements.
