Fees & Limits
What each product costs, the smallest and largest amounts it accepts, who pays, and when the charge is taken. Figures are the standard terms; your Partner Agreement takes precedence where it differs.
Payout limits and withdrawal chains change by corridor and environment. Where an endpoint is listed below, call it at runtime instead of hard-coding the number.
